Warning this post contains spoilers about the unaired abortion episode of Family Guy, Partial Terms of Endearment.
The controversial season 8 episode that Fox have decided not to air for business reasons will eventually appear on a future DVD release. In it Lois Griffin acts as a surrogate mother for an infertile couple, who are then killed in a car crash, leaving Lois with a tough decision. “The episode was originally supposed to conclude on a vague note, with Lois’ verdict left unclear,” reports The Live Feed. “But creator Seth MacFarlane added a coda at the very end, with Lois’ husband Peter poking his head into the frame to tell viewers, ‘She had the abortion.’”
Some sources have described the episode “very graphic, very morbid”, particularly about the abortion process.
Fox entertainment president, Kevin Reilly, has said that there were a couple of problematic scenes in the episode. Fox had advised doing the scenes one way, but Seth MacFarlane opted for another.
On a different note, Seth MacFarlane has confirmed a Family Guy-??The Cleveland Show?? cross-over episode next spring with characters from the new spin-off series returning to Family Guy.
