'Family Guy' considering Brian Griffin spin-off after tragic death? Fans NOT happy beloved TV dog is dead, Seth MacFarlane ready to bring Brian back in new series?

Brian Griffin passed away on the shocking Nov. 24 episode of "Family Guy" - and several fans are NOT happy about it. Seth MacFarlane and Fox Network have received such negative feedback, that show creators are even considering a Brian Griffin comedy spin-off series! (Allegedly).

An insider tells Hollywood Life, "They didn't anticipate this much negative outcry over the death of Brian... And they didn't initially have thoughts of doing a spin-off show, but now, those discussions have started ever so slightly. It's nowhere [near] a lock, but a discussion has [happened]."

Who knows if this is actually true, though. A mysterioys website counting down the days to Brian's secret "special announcement" on Dec. 6 turned-out to be a hoax.

But Fox could potentially profit from a new series starring the beloved "Family Guy" pooch considering he was such a popular character. How many Mstars readers would tune-in?

The television broadcasting company and show creators have yet to comment... but how many fans miss this face and wouldn't want to see it again in a new animated series?

Stay tuned as more details develop...
