 | Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane confirms plans for a direct-to-DVD
movie that "revolves around Stewie finding his real father." It could
hit stores as early as this summer. In the meantime, original Family
Guy episodes will begin airing on Fox on Sunday, May 1, at 9 pm/ET.

Fox Blurs Cartoon Rear End on FCC Worries
Mon Jan 17
LOS ANGELES - Fox says it covered up the naked rear end of a cartoon
character recently because of nervousness over what the Federal
Communications Commission (news - web sites) will find objectionable.
The latest example of TV network self-censorship because of FCC (news - web
sites) concerns came a few weeks ago during a rerun of a "Family Guy"
cartoon. Fox electronically blurred a character's posterior, even though
the image was seen five years ago when the episode originally aired.
"We have to be checking and second-guessing ourselves now," Fox
entertainment president Gail Berman said Monday. "We have to protect our
affiliates."
Fox hadn't gotten any complaints about the cartoon. But the move follows
the FCC's decision in October to fine 169 Fox stations $7,000 each for
airing an episode of "Married By America" that showed people licking whipped
cream from strippers' bodies and a man in his underwear being spanked by
strippers.
"It's certainly confusing when you have to do something like that," Berman
said. "It's just that we were trying to find our way and do what's
responsible."
At PBS, executives said this weekend they will edit out a glimpse of a naked
woman in a fictional account of a terrorist "dirty bomb" attack that will
air next month after being shown first on HBO.

Meanwhile, blood-soaked episode of "Cops" and "World's Most Vicious Police
Shootouts" gets prime time airing...
