Is Brian Griffin Really Dead? (Read Description!!!)?

Question

I just saw the family guy episode. Fair enough.

However, consider the following. First, here is an article:

http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/10/29/family-guy-maya-rudolph-glenn-howerton/

Quote from the article:

Family Guy has recruited two familiar TV voices for an upcoming episode, and those voices belong to Maya Rudolph and Glenn Howerton. Rudolph, a veteran of SNL and Up All Night, will assume the role of an avid runner who catches Brian’s eye. To win her over, he pretends to be a fellow jogger. “After Brian experiences the ‘runner’s high’, he becomes a distance running douche, and even signs himself up to run a marathon,” Family Guy executive producer Steve Callaghan tells EW."

This episode has not yet been aired yet includes Brian in the plot... How is this possible if Brian is really gone for good?

Go down to season 12 episodes and two upcoming episodes, "Brian's a Bad Father" and "Brian the Closer" both include Brian's name in the title.

Also note that the promo poster for "Grimm Job", another later episode, includes Brian in the background.

I don't think Brian Griffin is really gone. The writers are just screwing with our emotions.

Answer 1

I think the producers will give us a present for christmas. I say this because as many have mentioned Stewie goes in the future for the latest toys. Since he knows this is around Christmas time he could go to the store and tell the old time traveling Stewie not to get rid of the time traveling machine thus Brian being alive. I think Brian will come back in a Christmas special episode.

Answer 2

Brian will be back as a ghost or the new episodes will show the flash back of Brian. Maybe the creators of Family Guy will make the new episode of someone go time travel and fix it so that way, he will be alive again. The voice of Brian probably quit the show or got fired. You will see in the next new episode.

Answer 3

When Brian and Stewie get the guns back from the Indians the Brian and Stewie that brought the guns left on their own transport pad. They are alive somewhere in the universe with the time machine. Brian is still alive.

Answer 4

http://familyguy.wikia.com/wiki/Christmas_Guy



Plot: When Carter Pewterschmidt cancels the annual Quahog Christmas carnival, because he hates the holiday, Peter must transform his father-in-law from a Scrooge into a hometown hero in order to salvage the event. Meanwhile, Stewie devises a master plan to get the one and only thing he wants for Christmas.



Geee, what's the one thing Stewie really wants more than anything? (and no, it's not seeing Louis dead, he's already done that)

Answer 5

I'm surprised so few people have thought about Stewie going to the future to get his Christmas present. I bet my pants that their Christmas Special Episode is going to somehow tie into Stewie meeting his past self and warning him not to destroy the time machine, thus saving Brian's life. Also, I can't be the only one that noticed the car that hit him... It stands out way too much, it even resembles Brian's car. I feel like the driver is probably either Vinny, or future Stewie.

Answer 6

I personally think it's a publicity stunt. I love Family Guy. It's my favorite show, unfortunately their episodes aren't as funny and their viewers are suffering. I think they will bring him back in a few months. I really hope so. Brian was one of my favorite characters on the show and him and Stewie together made any episode great! BRING BACK BRIAN

Answer 7

Well, when I went on wikia after watching this episode (I cried), I looked at episodes that were TBA, and I looked at 'Christmas Guy' and it says that in the plot that 'Stewie devises a master plan to get the one and only thing he wants for Christmas. ' and what would he want more than his best friend home again ! Everybody also thinks that it way have been drunk and loose Quagmire who has killed the furry friend that we all know and we will be hoping that he will return !

Answer 8

Stewie mentioned early in the episode that he went 1 year into the future to get the latest toys... he could easily go to the same store in a years time and tell himself not to destroy the time machine in the first place.

Answer 9

Maybe the killing off Brian story line was a last minute thing, and they now have to alter the remaining episodes of the season.

Answer 10

I gotta think Brian is coming back, and Vinny is not all he is cracked up to be. Plus I read the voice of Vinny is only a guest appearance. Plus, why would you kill a character that isn't on payroll. Paying a new actor for a new character doesn't make sense.

Answer 11

I don't think Stewie destroyed the native american's teleport device...



... I hope Brian will return

And also Vinnie sounds like a maffia

Answer 12

Well I think Brian will come back with Stewie going back in time (if he fix his time machine) and save him and kill Vinny like what he did with the "replacement dog" new brian.

Answer 13

He’ll probably be back. Stewie mentioned rebuilding the time machine. They’ll just show life without Brian while Stewie is rebuilding, then he’ll go back and save Brian

Answer 14

I just KNEW someone would ask this question immediately. Brian will return in future episodes. Italian dog wont be around long

Answer 15

Someone on the Examiner.com cracked it, I think. Stewie went FORWARD to this Christmas. In a couple of weeks, he can just run into himself in the toy store.

Answer 16

Yeah, maybe killing off Brian was a last minute thing because the voice actor decided to leave and quit Family Guy.

Answer 17

i bet when the second half of the season starts, stewie will find the components to rebuild the time machine and will have to make a choice. wonder if it will be left to a fan vote...

Answer 18

They did something similar with Lois, and it turned out to be fake.



However, the episodes with Brian's name could be aired out of order, or could be flashbacks. So there's that option too.



But I think he'll be back. Seth has said Brian is his favorite character.

Answer 19

I like Vinny!

Answer 20

I really hope Brian isn't dead :(



I don't like that new dog -.-

Answer 21

This seriously brightened my day, I think you may be on to something
