Family
Guy fans
reacted in shock, dismay and anger Sunday night after Brian, the
Griffins' family dog and a fan-favourite regular character, was
killed off and replaced with a new pet in short order.
In
the episode titled "Life of Brian," the talking dog voiced
by show creator Seth MacFarlane is hit by a speeding car while
crossing the road. A lengthy hospital scene shows Brian pass away
surrounded by the rest of the Griffin family.
Brian
has been a series staple since the show debuted in 1999. An
articulate talking dog frequently at odds with his family, fans
perhaps knew him best as the travelling companion of the
megalomaniacal baby Stewie Griffin on numerous episodes.
Fans
reacted with shock and disbelief at Brian's death. FOX's
officialFamily
Guy Twitter
account posted a picture of Brian after the episode aired. The
hashtags #familyguy and #RIPBrian later reached the top of the social
media network's trending lists.
True
to Family
Guy's
breakneck pacing, it introduced Vinnie, a new dog voiced by The
Sopranos'
Tony Sirico, in the same episode.
Family
Guy executive
producer Steve Callaghan told E! Online that the idea to kill off a
main character "caught fire" quickly once it was pitched,
and Brian seemed the least painful choice.
"It
seemed more in the realm of reality that a dog would get hit by a
car, than if one of the kids died," said Callaghan. "As
much as we love Brian, and as much as everyone loves their pets, we
felt it would be more traumatic to lose one of the kids, rather than
the family pet."
