'Family Guy' kills off a main character, viewers mourn cartoon loss

Published November 25, 2013

'Family Guy' has killed off one of its most loved characters.

Audiences were shocked when Brian, the sophisticated family dog, was hit by a speeding car and lay lifeless on the road in last Sunday's episode.

The character, who had been in the show since the pilot, uttered "You've given me a wonderful life, I love you all," as he closed his eyes for the very last time.

In the episode titled Life of Brian, the Griffin family were quick to find a replacement pooch called Vinnie who is voiced by Tony Sirico, the actor that played Paulie 'Walnuts' Gautieri in The Sopranos.

"Family Guy" executive producer Steve Callaghan told E! Online that the writers thought Brian's fatal accident was a fun way to shake things up.

"We started talking about what the next couple episodes could be and we got very excited about the way this change will affect the family dynamics and the characters," Callaghan said

Film at 11.... 😢

Good riddance- sounded just like the football headed kid anyway and was a cheap ripoff of Mr. Peabody.

Paulie Walnuts should be fun.

First Henry Blake. Now this.....such tragedy in the world.

btw, is FG just trying to scoop Simpsons? Didn't they say they're killing someone off, too?

No ratings risk involved. Kept them in the spotlight all this week. Guarantees extra viewers for the next few shows to see how the new dog works. If it tanks, Brian comes back from someone's "dream sequence".

Stewies time machine. He let that go too easily. Remember what happened to that other dog they got. I can't go on so I chopped myself up and put myself in the garbage can... plus who was driving the car.
