The now infamous Family Guy abortion episode, Partial Terms of Endearment, which Fox considered too racy for TV will be read live as a part of an event next Wednesday at Hollywood’s Ricardo Montalban Theater. The event, aimed at Emmy Voters, will feature Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis, Mike Henry, Mark Hentemann and Steve Callaghan. Even though the episode, written by Danny Smith, has been hyped up a lot, MacFarlane doesn’t believe this particular episode is much worse than other jokes that have appeared on the show. “The subject matter makes it sound like the raciest thing we’ve ever done, but it’s a balanced episode,” he said.
In the episode, a friend asks Lois to be a surrogate mother, and she agrees. But when her friend unexpectedly dies, Lois isn’t sure what to do. “The whole last act of the show is one long debate by the family over the issue,” MacFarlane said.

I really think as a comedy show,they are really not trying to hurt anybody’s fellings. Just look back in time at shows like All in the Family. They really tackled some big and racy issues!!! It’s all in good fun!!! Rock on Family Guy!!!!
