Earlier this year, reports started hitting the internet that Family Guy was going to kill off a major character….which is exactly what happened in last night’s episode. E! Online has a spoiler-filled interview with Family Guy executive producer Steve Callaghan about the episode, why the character was killed off, and where the show goes from here. Although the writers seem determined to make fans think for the time being that this “death” is permanent, it seems unlikely that a comedy show would keep such a popular character six feet under for good…especially since two upcoming episodes have the character’s name in the title.
Family Guy makes good on its promise to kill off major character…but is the death permanent?
