"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,'" he said, according to the Hollywood Reporter. He later clarified his remarks in an email to the Reporter to say that he supported Fox's decision. "We were allowed to take a crack at this controversial story and that's enough for me," he said. He also indicated that "Partial Terms" would likely be included on the season's DVD.During the same panel, McFarlane previewed the hotly anticipated Empire Strikes Back parody episode, a sequel to the show's wildly popular Star Wars spoof.
