Family Guy is going to be the same again.

Last month the world was rocked, or at the very least gently nudged, by the sudden demise of one of Family Guy's most beloved characters, Brian.
The faithful hound had been with the show since it started, was voiced by creator Seth MacFarlane, and was as popular for his singing as his dialogue. Following the death, we polled you guys about what you thought and the overwhelming consensus was that it's a bad idea.
It appears the Family Guy writers were listening, as Entertainment Weekly reports that Brian is set to return to the cast full time on December 15.*
While the network declined to comment on the speculation, the site has discovered that an episode slated for next autumn has him falling in love with a character played by Maya Rudolph... something that'd be pretty difficult if he's six feet under.
The official logline for the upcoming episode on December 15, called 'Christmas Guy, explains that "Stewie devises a master plan to get the one and only thing he wants for Christmas," while Brian's name is included in the cast. Quite how Brian will return or what state he'll be in remains to be seen, but by all accounts it seems the death was just a stunt, as a chunk of the internet suspected.
In case you missed the episode on November 24 where the popular pooch carked it, he was promptly buried after being run over a car. Stewie was unable to save him at the time due to his time machine having been destroyed.
Will he now manage to build another one and reverse the events, and what does this mean for the Griffin's new dog Vinny, voiced by Tony Sirico? We'll find out a week from Sunday.

He shot himself in the head at the end of tonight's episode, the one where him and Quagmire formed a musical duo -
Never thought Brian was gonna be off the show for long anyway

Just watched, he's back. At least it wasn't corny how they brought him. OT: American Dad was goat tonight. Better than Fam Guy and it's not even close now.
