Family Guy On 9/11 Attack: Allow It To Happen

No subject is taboo for Fox’s Family Guy, and Seth MacFarlane & Co. demonstrated it again tonight by dealing with the worst terrorist attack ever on American soil, the occasions of September 11, 2001. Within the episode, John and Stewie use Stewie’s time machine to return and stop the 9/11 hijackings. TVLine has particulars around the story but, in a nutshell, John’s efforts backfire and result in a Civil War, so he and Stewie keep delivering clones of themselves in time to try and fix the error until all they meet up to election whether or not to stop 9/11 or allow it to happen. The second wins, resulting in a round of high-fives. Unlike Family Guy‘s infamous abortion episode that didn’t reach air but was carried out live and launched on DVD, the 9/11 one squeaked beyond the Fox standards and practices department but will certainly raise as numerous eye brows because it airs two several weeks following the tenth anniversary of 9/11.
