That episode of Family Guy must have been the only one where I cried for at least half of it (Yes, I'm pretty emotional).
I just.....wasn't expecting him to be the one. I didn't just like Brian for his Democratic views, but he made fun of Peter better than anyone on there and I LOVED all of his adventures he had with Stewie.
I'm not going to join the Anti-Vinny bandwagon because I'm willing to give the new dog a shot, but nobody will ever replace Brian and Seth MacFarlane screwed up big time with this. Family Guy will lose even more viewers than it already has and it will eventually go down the same, dull path as The Simpsons did.
One more thing, WHY COULDN'T MEG DIE?!
