Brian Griffin, the mainstay talking dog featured on Seth McFarlane’s animated show Family Guy, was run over by a car and killed in Sunday night’s episode. He was 8 in human years, and 55 in dog years.

These Are Brian’s 14 Best Moments From Family Guy

The tragedy occurred as Brian was preparing to play street hockey with Stewie, the Griffins’ talking baby Brian’s longtime partner in crime. Thankfully, Stewie was uninjured.

I'm sure he'll come back during February or May Sweeps. Stewie will fix his time machine, and Vinny will be Coy and Vanced out.
 
In the universe of FG some dogs can speak and drive cars; others can't. Brian can father a 13 yr old HUMAN boy, Brian and Stewie can go back in time, Stewie can miniaturize himself a la Fantastic Voyage--like they say on MST3K, just repeat to yourself it's just a show, I should really just relax.
Via Yahoo: "(Brian, whose) death appears to be a permanent storyline change, has already been replaced in the Griffin clan by Vinnie, a tough-talkin’ pooch the Griffins purchased at a pet store “This was an idea that got pitched in the writers' room, and it sort of caught fire, and we thought it could be a fun way to shake things up,” showrunner Steve Callaghan told E! Online.
 
I read the E! Online piece last night, but I still doubt the change is permanent. If Brian isn't back by the end of the season, I'll hump someone's leg for a martini.
 
To think I lost $25 last week at a Family Guy Slot machine and now refuse to play it for unrelated reasons. Brian had/has a special bonus round where you can win some serious pennies! I know I did, $67.50 I will miss you my furry friend!

I got home at 9:10 last night and missed the start of Family Guy, but I t totally thought this was some sort of joke, such as when Stewie "killed" Lois a few years ago. I was expecting Stewie to build a new time machine before the end of the episode and save Brian. What I didn't get, Peter Griffin can survive numerous bloody fights with the giant chicken, and Stewie once survived having his skull wide open and being unconscious for days, but Brian couldn't survive getting run over.

I think Seth MacFarlane has made a colossal mistake. Although it could be argued that this change has created a lot of social media buzz around the show that the show hasn't had much of for awhile, it will damage the show in the long term. Then again, Two and a Half Men still seems to be holding its own in the ratings, even if it's lower than when Charlie Sheen and Angus T. Jones were there.
 
For what it's worth, "Brian's a Bad Father" and "Brian the Closer" are titles of two upcoming episodes that were produced later in the production cycle than the one that aired November 24th.

I think I have it figured out. After Stewie and Brian fixed history in Jamestown, and Stewie was destroying the time machine,
he mentioned going forward to Christmas to get a Jolly Farm playset at the toy store. Come Christmastime he will remember
this and will need to get to that store before his past self arrives. He can then warn himself about Brian's pending demise,
and also to not destroy the time machine! Hopefully present Stewie will heed past Stewie's warning.
We'll see come the Holidays.
 
A lot of speculations on the death of a cartoon dog on a show that's been well past it's shelf life.
Maybe Fox should kill off Ryan Seacrest and bring back Brian Dunkleman to re-energize American Idol?
