Family Guy Brian Dead: Petition To Bring Back Brian Made By Angry Fans After Writers Thought It Would Be A ‘Fun Way To Shake Things Up’
Family Guy released an episode last Sunday where Brian Griffin the dog was dead after being hit by a car.
Writers from the show agreed to kill the dog from the show saying “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,” in an E! interview.
This decision from the writers and creators of the show sparked fans to get furious with their decision and couldn’t believe with what happened, even trending in Twitter right now is #BringBackBrian and #BringBackBrianGriffin.
Family Guy is not gonna be the same again. #BringBackBrian. Same move as that of the one in 'Two and Half Men'- taking out Charlie. KilledIt

The writers of family guy didn't just kill off one of their creations, they killed off the dog who has lived in our homes for the last 15 years. They killed the dog we all have come to love. They killed America's dog!”
