From the October 17th issue of TV Guide: Family Guy First Look! After Janet Jackson's breast led to mass hysteria— and an FCC fine—in 2004, a fearful Fox decided that the bare bottom of Family Guy baby Stewie Griffin was no longer fit for prime time and was deleted from a repeat. But on November 6, Family dad Peter Griffin strikes back. Bugged over the censorship of his favorite shows, he starts his own channel—PTV—until the FCC shows up at his home. It's a scream, but Washington's crackdown on content is no joke to series creator Seth MacFarlane. "TV writers are disturbed by what's taking place," he says. "Our message is, 'Quit being such jerks. Mellow out.'" —Stephen Battaglio
