"Partial Terms of Endearment" is the twenty first episode and season finale of the eighth season of Family Guy, and the 147th episode overall. Due to abortion being seen as a controversial subject, FOX banned the episode from ever airing, not even allowing [adult swim] - who was allowed to air a former banned episode - from airing it per their request.

The episode however did air in the UK on the BBC Three on June 20, 2010, and was later released on DVD for U.S. audiences in September of that same year.

Synopsis[edit | edit source]
