Well, if you haven’t heard about it yet, last night Fox’s hit animated show “Family Guy” killed off one of their beloved characters.

SPOILER ALERT!

Brian Griffin, the family dog, died during the show after being run over by a car.

You can see the scene here:

Many fans are outraged by this and have started a petition.

I haven’t watched family guy since it came back on TV a number of years back, but to not have Brian on the show seems very strange and then replacing him with a stereotype of a dog in Vinnie just looks as if they were trying to get the ratings up and I can honestly see them bringing Brian back. Stewie has been known to time travel, so that may just be a way around all of this.
