Product Information

Stewie: I've read your article, too, Brian. Seems to me like you should spend less time working for the paper and more time (voice goes extremely high) workin' on that novel you've been workin' on. You know (Brian hits Stewie with a book). AHHHH!!

One of the most important and meaningful results from Einstein’s theory of special relativity is the establishing universal speed limit of c; the speed of light in a vacuum. Brian's latest literary attempt came in the episode " Brian's Play", where he writes a play titled A Passing Fancy. The play becomes very popular in Quahog; however, Brian is upset when he realizes that Stewie had since written a play which was better than his. Stewie's play was eventually shown on Broadway. Brian became depressed, as he only wanted to be a good writer for the few years which remain of his life, and not have to be overshadowed by Stewie, who has his whole life ahead of him.Trechak, Brad (March 3, 2008).

He's degenerated into nothing more than a soapbox for the political views of the writers". [22] In a review of the eighth season, following his transition into a heel character, Ramsey Isler stated that Brian "left his lofty position as the voice of reason and switched to pretentious loser". [23] Brian has been featured in many items of merchandise for Family Guy, and he is considered to be one of the series' biggest merchandising characters.

[20] He also praised Brian's adventures with Stewie calling them, "center of many of the show's best bits".

MacFarlane was asked to pitch a pilot to the Fox Broadcasting Company, based on The Life of Larry and Larry & Steve, two shorts made by MacFarlane featuring a middle-aged character named Larry and an intellectual dog, Steve.

Having lived with the Griffins for many years, and being accepted (and audibly heard more than Stewie for some reason) as a peer, Brian has become a character as important to fans as the show's titular star."
