Warning: This story contains spoilers from Sunday night's episode of Family Guy

Family Guy viewers paid a shocking visit to Quahog on Sunday night, as they witnessed the death of one of the show's main characters.

A regular on Seth MacFarlane's popular animated series since its pilot in 1999, Brian the family dog was hit and killed by a car during the Season 12 episode Life of Brian, in which Stewie destroyed his time machine and the Griffins adopted a new pet. The show's executive producer Steve Callaghan spoke to E! Online about the painful decision, which forced the family to say teary goodbyes to their bruised and bloodied dog.

"We thought it could be a fun way to shake things up," Callaghan says. "It seemed more in the realm of a reality that a dog would get hit by a car. As much as we love Brian, and as much as everyone loves their pets, we felt it would be more traumatic to lose one of the kids, rather than the family pet."

Shortly after Brian's death, the Griffins adopted a fast-talking new dog named Vinny, who is voiced by The Sopranos' Tony Sirico, and helps comfort Stewie in the wake of his devastating loss.

"Where Brian was sort of a match for Stewie intellectually, Vinny is a good match for Stewie because he doesn't let Stewie get away with any crap," Callaghan says. "He'll call Stewie out on his b.s. freely."

Cast members such as Mila Kunis and Seth Green were surprised to learn of the character shakeup, which has already sparked the hashtag #BringBackBrian on Twitter. Aside from his belief that Vinny will add a new dynamic to the Griffin family, Callaghan isn't worried about any major post-Brian backlash in the long term.

"Our fans are smart enough and have been loyal to our show for long enough to know that they can trust us," Callaghan says. "We always make choices that always work to the greatest benefit of the series."

I just can't imagine they'll keep this. People are flipping their shit over it lol

I clicked the spoiler cause I stopped watching it a long time ago so don't really care. Wow though. It's surprising they did that. Going to cause a backlash for sure.

I absolutely hate the new dog, he sounds stupid and looks stupid. I hope it's just a bad prank and that Brian will be back.

agreed

I think Seth MacFarlane pretty much hates doing the show now, he said 2 years ago in a interview that he wanted it to end but Fox wanted them to make more episodes. This could be a way to piss off the fans that still watch it tank the ratings so he can stop making it.

It was pretty much obvious that it was Brian after they dropped the bomb at comic con that a character was going to die. Most people thought Meg, but it made more sense for it to be Brian since Seth voices that character and it would be easy to get rid of him. A lot of people feel it won't last because there are two episodes that include Brian's name that haven't been produced just yet

I haven't watched Family Guy in quite a long time, so maybe his character changed again, because I don't see why anyone would miss Brian after he turned into McFarlane's mouthpiece that he could use to puke out all his political/religious beliefs and never say a funny thing.

Also, not sure why we're spoilering this. Family Guy's not really that kind of show and people knowing would most likely drive more people to see it.

Because it's a pretty huge deal show-wise and people have the right to decide whether to click or not.

Seriously though, I always loved the Brian and Stewie episodes most. That one where they're locked in the vault was seriously good

why would you post that and not Maude Flanders?

[Anoat]

Pretty sure its all a massive troll job and he'll be back by the end of the season. South Park killed Kenny for like 2 years or something before they brought him back I think.

Introducing a new dog character that everyone hates? Showing Maude Flanders would be more appropriate if Joe's wife was killed by a t-shirt gun. Also, don't look too much into it, it was a joke response.

Kenny wasn't ever really dead/killed off. His spirit was trapped inside Cartmen the majority of the time

at the same time there's like 20 articles going "FAMILY GUY KILLS OFF CHARACTER OH NO" lmao

[Dimmauk]

They should have made the new dog look like Tony Sirico too.

Bingo.

I think they're just doing this to set up Vinnie as Brian's arch-nemesis. If you watch the part where Brian gets run over, it looks alot like its his own car doing it, and it looks like the car was aiming for him. I'm guessing at some point Stewie will rebuild the time machine and find out Vinnie was the one driving. Probably not until the end of this season or even next season, though.
