While it's undoubtedly on brand for "Family Guy" to get a beloved hero like Elliott on board, the casting came after the passing of Quahog's previous fictional mayor, Adam West.

“ Family Guy ” will rename the high school seen on the animated series after the late Adam West. West, who died last year, had recurred as the Mayor of Quahog on the animated series.

Family Guy season 23, episode 12 finally does away with that in a much more promising way. After Quagmire gets fed up with Brian’s barking, he has Joe fit Brian with a shock collar.
