“Family Guy” fans, relax and rejoice — Brian the dog is back from the dead.
The Griffin pooch is back where he belongs, drinking and womanizing among his friends and family in Quahog. The Fox animated comedy revived Brian Sunday night and, in turn, said goodbye to the new family hound, Vinny (Tony Sirico).
To bring back one of the show’s most popular characters, baby Stewie and Vinny stole a time machine return pad from a different version of the diabolical infant that they encountered by happenstance in a toy store. Time-traveling Stewie was on hand to buy the hot Christmas toy of the season, but was distracted by Vinny’s suggestion he try modeling.
