The internet was all abuzz when Family Guy killed off Brian the Dog. The news was released earlier in the TV season, but no one expected the beloved family pet would be the one facing his demise. With 2013 drawing to an end, we looked at the most memorable moments on television shows this year. Take a look at what we came up with:
Dr. Richard Webber’s horrible electrical injury, Grey’s Anatomy, May 16, 2013
Grey’s Anatomy has been known to kill off characters in season finales: George, Lexie etc. So it was surprising to fans when that did not appear to be the case in the season 9 finale. However, seconds before the closing credits roll, the camera pans to Dr. Webber lying on the ground surrounded by electrical wires and water. That is a very deadly combination for sure. Luckily, the season 10 premiere showed Richard alive and is now recuperating from the horrific events.

John Cooper shot and possibly killed, Southland, April 17, 2013
Southland was probably one of the best cop dramas of recent time. In the season five ender, John Cooper goes crazy on a neighbor running a generator late at night. Police arrive on the scene and shoot him. The scene ends with John about to go unconscious. Unfortunately for fans, TNT cancelled the show and now we will never know what happened to John or any of the other police officers patrolling the streets of Los Angeles.

Leslie and Ben tie the knot, Parks and Recreation, February 21, 2013
Leslie Knope is the type of person who likes to thoroughly plan everything she does. So it was surprising and memorable when she agreed to marry Ben after the emergency response gala. The wedding ceremony did not go off without a hitch. Councilman Jamm interrupted the festivities with a stink bomb and was punched out by Ron Swanson. In the end, Leslie and Ben still had one of the greatest TV weddings of all time!

Let’s just say the entire season was a question mark. But seeing him as a Lumberjack pretty much summed up everything that all Dexter fans couldn’t stand about the final season.
Andrea takes herself out, The Walking Dead, March 31, 2013
The season three finale of The Walking Dead was watched by 12.4 million viewers. That episode featured the demise of beloved character Andrea. Milton zombie took a bite out of her and rather than becoming a zombie herself, Andrea decided to take her own life.

Booth and Brennan recite their vows, Bones, October 21, 2013
It only took 9 seasons, but Booth and Brennan finally were able to say “I do.” Fans rejoiced as they got to see Bones walk down the aisle and commit to her man, something she never wanted to do until she was with Booth. The best part of the wedding episode is when the couple recite their own vows. Brennan reads a letter that she wrote to Booth early in the show’s run when she was trapped underground and left to die. Even then, she knew she loved Booth and now she can spend the rest of her life with him.

The Good Wife is really heating up in its 5th season, but this will always be one of the most memorable moments.
