He was a great character on this show.Without him this show is gonna suck.Ratings gonna go down people if you don't bring Brian back.Just get rid of Meg no one cares about her.Now there is no more Stewie And Brian Adventures.Those were my favorites.But they suddenly cancel it for what to get low ratings now.Family Guy Is never gonna be the same without Brian Griffin.A Huge Mistake From Seth Mcfarlene Green etc. You Guys Are gonna regret losing Brian griffin.All Of our opinions are saying we want Brian to be on this show still he is one of the best characters on this show.This show will drop big time ratings each week now without Brian Griffin. Guys Brian Is Gonna Be Back Soon.

Seth Macfarlane, why did you have to kill Brian Griffin? He is the greatest cartoon character of all time! You have made the greatest injustice of television history. I would rather sing a song with Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black. Vinny is just a steaming pile of dog poop character who has a tough guy attitude who is a perfect match with Stewie. The problem with Vinny that replaces Brain is he does not have any capabilities like Brain whatsoever. If Vinny should make any more main appearances, the show should expect a 3 month hiatus or a possible cancellation ASAP. Vinny should be the Johnny Test and the Citizen Kane of, if not, the horrible characters of animation history.

to conclude this review, i am not watching family guy anymore and so is everyone else unless Seth Macfarlane revives Brian Griffin to reunite with the Griffins.

I first read about this episode online as I was out of town and wasn't able to catch it when it first aired. I've been a pretty big fan of Family Guy since it's inception in 1999 and enjoyed growing up watching it as a "safe" show that always raised my spirits. Knowing this I was shocked when I read about MacFarlane killing off arguably the deepest character in the cast with little warning and it took me a day or two to muster up the courage to actually watch the whole thing.

There was not much difference in the episode as a whole in regards to comedy style and language. Brian and Stewie had their usual chemistry that was fun to watch and Peter mixed things up with a quip here or there. The show began with Brian and Stewie running from a group of armed, 21st Century Native Americans which set an accurate focus on at least Stewie for a majority of the episode.

The critical (and controversial) event in question does not happen until just before midway into the episode. This was an interesting strategy but effective in surprising the viewer(s) (at least those who had not been on the internet before watching) when Brian is struck down. The second half of the show has probably been used by most to recover and process what they just saw. Again, besides this there is very little else of note on which to comment (which in itself makes up very little of the episode anyway.)

I was saddened watching Brian die. Not only was he one of my favorite characters (and a dog at that), but his relationship with Stewie was one of the few really rich parts of the show that had developed with age. It was also tough to see Stewie struggle in the aftermath of his death and reveal for only the second or third time how much Brian really meant to him.

What warranted the low rating? There was no further emotional digging after Brian passed. Sure the rest of the family was crying and obviously sad but even then there was a briefness and laziness to their lines and emotions. Brian was the family dog and best friend for 12 seasons, and Stewie is the only one to really say anything more than the usual, "Oh, sad, he's dead?" Even by the end Stewie seemed to recover rather well and embrace the new dog Vinny despite his hatred for him when he first arrived. I know he confided in Vinny about Brian which thawed his heart a bit, but it still was off.

I guess the bottom line is it did not feel like the show truly represented the emotional repercussions of Brian's death within the family. Stewie was much closer, but even then something did not feel quite right. A character as important as Brian dies so suddenly, you would expect a much deeper reaction amongst the Griffin's than what was given.

I can draw only one conclusion from this: Brian's death is not permanent. It was not meant to be an event (in itself) to change the makeup of the character's themselves. Otherwise, we would have seen a much more thorough look into how each family member coped with the grief.

I know it's a cartoon, but when you grow up with a show and the writers decide to sever it's most important relationship in the blink of an eye you take a bit to recover. Seth MacFarlane has a knack for allowing a few episodes before revealing his true intentions, and I like to believe he is a smart man who knows what he is doing. If my suspicions are correct this rating could jump a great deal.

Until then this was a bit of a cheap shot to the feels.

I was so excited for upcoming episode. Have no clue what is going to happen? My only clue was "Life of Brian" on episode title? What that could mean? Something entertaining life story about Brian? How he was borned and raised etc. I wondered.

Well... I was wrong, completely wrong! They didn't spoiled episode name like "Death of Brian" because then everybody went mental, crazy, full of anger what we are going through now, which is really devastating and cruel our fans. After watching this episode I was so disappointed, depressed and raging on my TV! WHAT! WHY! WHY THE HELL YOU KILL one of the most beloved characters on TV? Are you Seth this desperate on your show, you have to kill one of the entertaining character on the show? I mean Seth is going nuts and sets bar way too high and just don't think overall what are the consequences. Doing this unthinkable and one of the saddest thing ever on this show.

It's sometimes stupid to think why everyone is going mad because this is just TV SHOW. Well it is TV show, but one of my favouritest, never laughed so hard television series. It's just really emotional feeling when you care these characters so much, than any animated TV show ever.

Well.. I think Seth is very brave to do something cruel like this, however I think this is the message for End of an era for FG. I watched all the seasons and almost every episode was gold and just stomach hurting laughable.. I never expected on my freaking life.

Thanks for the awesome years Seth. It's sad to see if you given up, but I don't hate you. I understand the feeling writers are out of ideas and these new episodes is just lazy writing and ridiculous jokes with adding just stupidness on the limit. I'm not giving up on this show, it's optional this is just really bad joke, troll whatsoever and Brian is coming back I hope. I just admire Seth because he has guts to do something so dangerous I never seened before which can end this show! Period.

I hope we can see Brian again on further episodes and we can all watch FG in peace again.

No hard feelings or anything.

Still the best show I have watched ever on cartoon series. Peace!

This is one of my favorite episodes. I could watch the beginning a 1000 times and never get sick of it. The word loath is a massive understatement when it comes to my feelings for brian. The only real problem is they brought this vile character back. I wish they would do an episode similar to this but leaving that mutant gone forever. Maybe one day I'll get what i want. But that day doesnt seem to be coming anytime soon.
