9 Secret Episodes TV Shows Don't Want You To Find
7. Family Guy - Partial Terms Of Endearment
Ahhhh Family Guy, of course you've made this list.
There's not a person on earth that hasn't found something Family Guy did offensive. Whether it be an intentionally controversial topic, lazy writing or enraging plotlines, there is something for everyone!
Still, we can't be too hard on the show, as it has brought a lot of laughs to a lot of people. It's no Bob's Burgers, but that's neither here nor there.
There are a lot of touchy subjects that the cartoon comedy has tried to address, whether they were successful or not, you can't say the show wasn't brave trying.
One of these controversial episodes came in the form of Partial Terms Of Endearment. The episode's plot saw Lois become a surrogate mother for one of her friends. However, when the woman dies, Lois is left to make a hard decision on whether to abort the child or keep it.
While abortion is a touchy subject, it was the controversial inclusion of awful husband Peter trying to, first, cause Lois a miscarriage, and then, when egged on by anti-abortion rallies, force her to keep the baby, that really made executives nervous.
The episode was never aired on American TV but finally saw a release here in the UK after lots of consideration from execs.
Where Can I Find It: The episode is now included on the DBD boxset.
