Family Guy (Season 19) (Johnsonverse)

The nineteenth season of Family Guy premiered on September 27, 2020 with the episode "Meet the Johnsons".

The first season to be executive produced by Tim and Chloe Johnson, this season retcons almost every episode and/or event that happened from the seventh to eighteenth seasons. Recurring characters were also reintroduced, such as Greased Up Deaf Guy, Buzz Killington, and Vern and Johnny, among others. Also, almost all of the writing staff was replaced.

Finally, the animation style of the older seasons was brought back, with the animation now being done by Johnson Television Animation, while the opening sequence was reanimated. It now has the character movements of the 1999-2010 intro, with the modern character designs and the lineup of side characters from the 2010-2020 intro.

Episodes

 * 1) Meet the Johnsons (written by Tim and Chloe Johnson) - The new owners of Family Guy, Tim and Chloe Johnson, come to Quahog to take the townspeople to task for their constant abuse of Meg throughout the years, culminating in Tim outright shooting Connie in the head and beating up Peter until he concedes. Meanwhile, the townspeople start seeing massive changes in their personalities, as well as the mysterious return of Vern and Johnny. Air date: September 27, 2020.
 * 2) Someone Will Die. No, This is Not a Ratings Trap (written by Tim and Chloe Johnson) - Quagmire reveals the real reason he hates Brian: he's a dog, and hates all dogs. He proceeds to disembowel Brian, causing Joe to arrest him and Courtney to move in with the Griffins. Quagmire, remorseless for what he did, tries to break out of prison and instigate a genocide against dogs so everyone will have no choice but to get a cat, but fails and is shot dead by Stewie as revenge. The episode ends with Tim and Chloe telling the audience why exactly they killed off Brian and Quagmire. Air date: October 4, 2020.
 * I, Megan (written by Tim and Chloe Johnson) - Meg comes out to announce something big, in the biggest plot twist in the show's history. She comes out as a lesbian who's in a relationship with Courtney, and Lois takes offense to it until she loses to Chloe in a chicken-style fight. Meanwhile, Stewie travels back in time to try and save Brian from Quagmire, but fails, saving Quagmire instead, though Stewie finds and remembers Vinnie in the process. Air date: October 11, 2020.

 * 3) Facing the Music

And nothing will stop them.
