why the heck did they kill him and bring him back 2 episodes later... pretty lame

South Park used to kill Kenny every episode.  It was all part of the storyline.  That's why the seeds were planted in his death episode.  Hell, Stewie AND Brian died going to Vegas earlier this season.  Death means nothing in cartoons.

I'm more mad about the fact he was dead for just 1 episode after all this... i mean.. a bit longer like half a year or a year would have been nice..

I wonder if the Family Guy creators regret not making things go longer.  Maybe it was a bad idea.  Maybe not.  The payoff of Brian's return felt kinda cheap.  I felt pretty "meh" after the episode.  They didn't really do anything epic with such a huge character death.

I think the Simpsons played the "Death Card" for their season premier and it didn't really kill anybody major.  American Dad did the "major character is going to die" season finale once and like 100 people died but none of them were anybody of note.  Death brings in the viewers.  Hell, it was the biggest part of  Gears of War 3.  I can understand people being outraged but yeah.  Happens all the time.
