Just Jack Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Couldn't believe they killed off Brian last night, thought for sure at some point Stewie would figure out a way to go back and save him... http://www.eonline.com/news/484172/family-guy-s-shocking-death-boss-reveals-why-they-decided-to-kill-off-spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I think this is part of a multi-episode story. I could swear I saw clips in the commercials for the episode that were not part of the episode last night and from what I can tell, Stewie rebuilds the time machine and goes back to before Brian dies. I remember seeing a clip where Stewie has to manually change the date using a broken looking time machine, and a part in Stewies room where he and Brian come out of the Time Machine and Stewies holding womans underwear and says to brian "I'm not going to ask" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Just watched it. I don't know how they can kill off the best character on the show IMO. That show has been held together by Stewie and Brian for years. Vinny seems like he will get annoying with that accent real quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 This show fell on its face this season. I watched it every night on adult swim and loved the return. Until this year I was enjoying it. Then they had the opener with that mini Peter and that was by far one of the worst shows I have ever experienced. Every show this year of Family Guy has been stale and lacking the humor that once set it apart. There isn't anymore of that 5 second set up, delivery then punch line that could draw at least a chuckle. This just made me annoyed that they have run out of story lines and ideas. I have watched the Simpsons every Sunday since it started and have never felt this under enthused. That's saying a lot because this season is really stretching it. They're bringing in all these C and D rate characters to match up with the Tapped Out game. I've never seen Luigi and Krusty and all of these people in the same episode and now they're being used to carry the show. It's annoying. I miss when Maggie shot people. But, back on topic. Family Guy never had the same weight the Simpsons did. You never developed a bond with the characters because they changed so quickly. This is a great example: Now, they're just alling short. What the hell is Vinny going to be and how can Brian reclaim his glory? I would rather they bring Futurama and King of the Hill back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with bringing King of The Hill back, I loved that one But as for the Simpsons, that show has been unwatchable for probably the last 5-10 years, I would rather watch reruns of this seasons Family Guy (which i agree, seems to have lost a step) then any of the last 5-10 years of the Simpsons. As for the graphic you show, you could do that with alot of shows by taking their first season or even the pilot episode and then looking at the characters after 5-10 years and find that they have all changed as the show went on.

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Isn't Brian really just Seth McFaraland? Brian can get annoying at times. The best are when Quamire goes off on why he doesn't like Brian. Still, there's 0 chance he isn't coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the show when it first came out, but I hadn't for several seasons when my wife and eye watched an episode from around 2010. That **** was God awful. We both kept looking at each other in disgust - horrified, not because the content was offensive, but because we couldn't believe anyone would find it even mildly amusing, much less distribute it for the entertainment of others. I wondered if the show had just gone all to hell, or if it always sucked and I was just too stoned to notice back then, so I pulled up the first season on Netflix. Sure enough, it was funny. Most shows fall off after a few seasons, but this one went over the cliff and took a dive. I've seen a few other episodes since that one and I can't figure how this garbage is still on the air.

It will have the Simpsons and Griffins together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beauty of Netflix. I haven't watched any of these shows on the networks. I'll start at the beginning on Netflix and tire of the show before is starts to suck.

I have not grown tired of anything I grew up with. I really haven't watched too many shows in the past couple of decades but I grew tired of The Simpsons, Arrested Development (why did they bring that show back, the fourth season absolutely sucked). But it's more of shows that I heard sucked after certain seasons that I've avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section122 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) But it's more of shows that I heard sucked after certain seasons that I've avoided. This happened to me with dexter. I started watching it and enjoyed it immensely. The problem was that I started it this summer as it was ending. Everyone trashed then ending and now I don't even want to invest the time. As to Rob and jboyst's point.... I think a lot I the tanking in quality had to do with mcfarlane having so many shows out. Between Cleveland show, family guy, and American dad - that is a lot of content to come up with weekly. Thus the quality was watered down and subpar. It is strange but American dad was my least favorite when it premiered and now is my favorite out of the group. More of a tallest midget than anything else as they sit on my dvr forever but still my favorite out of the group.

I would agree, if Cleveland's show was ever good and didn't suck balls, if the Family Guy didn't fall off a cliff then rip its face off and lose all humor all while American Dad has stayed the same making solid jokes and a good show. Francine is now much of a better comedy piece then Louis. Steve blows Chris away. Stan combines Peter and Brian and usually beats them both. Hayley is a different twist then Brian and wins. Jeff out does Meg in every way by simply being a part of the routine not some piece for fodder and easy punchlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinVA Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I have a friend named Brian Griffin. I was in shock Monday morning when I saw "RIP Brian Griffin" a dozen or so times on my Facebook feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I know this is old news but I was on "vacation" for a month and I'm slowly getting back in the swing. But as I mentioned one of my staff's parents work for the show. Most of you know we do financial planning and life insurance is part of that. He's young and new in the business and wants to network with animators. He was invited to their Christmas party so I told him he should break he ice by asking "hey, I wonder if Brian had life insurance?" He came back and I asked did he use that line. He said "yeah, I asked Seth" Holy ****. I asked what Seth said. "He said he laughed but looked like he was tired of people asking about Brian. But he said Seth told him not to worry, Brian's coming back" Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I've never seen a single episode of this show. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen more than three seconds of an episode of this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
