Controversial Family Guy episode released as controversial DVD
Family Guy season 9 may have started on Fox last night, but there's still one episode from season 8 that has yet to be shown on the channel; Partial Terms of Endearment got banned by the network for being too controversial, but from tomorrow will be available on DVD. However, the DVD release is being seen as somewhat controversial by some fans who have seen its release separately from other episodes as a money-grabbing trick by Fox.
