'Family Guy' to telecast special episode honouring Adam West

TV show "Family Guy" is set pay homage to their Mayor of Quahog, Adam West, by telecasting a special episode dedicated to him.

The sitcom will honour the actor, who passed away last week, by airing one of his best episodes, as well as a special tribute card, reported Entertainment Weekly.

Fox will air the episode titled "The Dating Game" this Sunday, as well as a full tribute that will be shown before the episode airs in the US.

Some of West's "Family Guy" co-stars have already paid tribute to their beloved mayor, with Seth Green who plays Chris calling him "a true hero".

The show's creator and star Seth MacFarlane also remembered West fondly, calling him "irreplaceable".
