That thing that we all knew was going to happen did. Specifically: Brian came back to life.
After having been killed off a couple weeks ago, Family Guy brought Brian back from the dead on last night’s episode. In the world of Family Guy there’s no tragedy that can’t be solved with a trip to Santa and a time machine. Series creator Seth MacFarlane seemed real proud of himself:
And thus endeth our warm, fuzzy holiday lesson: Never take those you love for granted, for they can be gone in a flash.

I mean, you didn't really think we'd kill off Brian, did you? Jesus, we'd have to be fucking high.

Anyway, Brian’s back and Family Guy just got a bunch of free press. Looks like we’re all winners this time.
