They released a statement saying, "Fox will not air the Partial Terms of Endearment episode of Family Guy, but we fully support the producers' right to make the episode and distribute it in whatever way they want."
Series creator Seth MacFarlane doesn’t have a problem with Fox’s decision not to air the episode. But he had to give the network a hard tim, saying at Comic-Con over the weekend, "20th Century Fox, as always, allowed us to produce the episode and then said, 'You know what? We're scared to f--king death of this.’”
But Seth afterwards made anther statement to the Hollywood Reporter, saying, "We were allowed to take a crack at this controversial story and that's enough for me.”
He also indicated that Partial Terms would likely be included on the season's DVD. Hey, if Fox decided it was too controversial, it probably was! If you’re dying to see it, you can always rent the DVD!

Seth MacFarlane has announced that he’s decided against having a cameo by Britney for Family Guy, because he thinks he won’t hear the end of it from rival show South Park. Brit was made cartoon in an episode of South Park last year, and was mocked for all of her personal problems. Seth had anticipated having Brit be on his show, but decided to scrap the plans. Britney even offered to lend her voice to Family Guy, but Seth didn’t want to start a fued with Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
He says, "That would do more harm than good. It would take too much work."
Plus, it’s not like it’s the greatest timing. Last year when South Park featured her, it was at Britney’s darkest time, when she had all of those problems. Now she seems to have cleaned up her act, and that’s not exactly the best material for a comedy.
