Back when the show first started, he was one of the smartest. Now he is just a shallow, lazy failed author who chose to give up & live the superficial life & lying to pretty women to get laid.
What makes him any better than Quagmire? I lost my respect for Brian & he used to be one of my favorites. :(
All the writers suck that's what happened.
shareBrian has definitely hit rock bottom. I feel bad he can't keep a girlfriend.

I feel bad for Stewie, it seems like he's always babysitting Brian lately when it comes to all his drinking and lady lusting. Also the recent episode where Brian determindly goes for a group of high school girls while Stewie tries to stop him seems quite out of Brian's character to me. He's too desperate now.
He doesn't deserve a girlfriend. He has no redeemable qualities.
shareIt probably has to do with the episode when Brian got killed. The fans reacted very bad to it, and wanted him back. I think that was the only reason they did bring him back, because of the fan pressure. I suppose the producers thought that Brian got too far ahead of everyone else in terms of "favourite characters" and they are trying to change that now.
That was literally the point where his character turned 180 degrees, in a very abrupt manner, and without any context to it. I see it something like "Oh, you want Brian back so bad huh? Well *beep* you guys, there he is!"

He would have been back if the fans loved him dead, hated him dead or didn't care in the slightest.
I liked it much, much better when Brian was a mildly alcoholic intellectual. This thing they have now where he fails at everything, and is pretty much a loser in every way...I don't like it. Out of all of the character changes, this one bothers me most. It wouldn't be as bad if there was some sort of arc that made him this way, but nope. And that goes to show how weak the writers are.
shareOf all the characters I think Brian has become the most unlikable Chris is the only one who is completely likeable

A lot of the characters have become a lot more over the top as the series has progressed. Stewie cross-dresses and makes never ending gay jokes instead of being a purely evil villain, Peter has become more negligent and irresponsible, Meg has changed from a stereotypical teenager to a one-note joke of a punching bag, Lois has gone from a housewife with some edge to her to a condescending and nasty person. Joe has also become more of a loser rather than the self-confident character when introduced.
Trusting someone...means relying on them and only the weak do that.
