Family Guy may have tackled the topic in a controversial way, but that's to be expected from a show that gained its following from dark and edgy humor.Family Guy is a popular and long-running animated series that debuted on FOX in 1999. "Back To The Pilot" also made some astute observations about 9/11's impact on the United States and how the 21st century might have played out if it had been prevented – it's uncomfortable, certainly, but nothing too taboo for the inevitable post-episode discussions.

This matters, because complaints of this nature have a lot more merit when viewers are tricked into ingesting difficult topics in their media diet by shows that usually avoid such subjects. The episode wasn't off-brand for the show, as the edgy Family Guy was already no stranger to 9/11 jokes. While many found the time travel Family Guy 9/11 episode to be in poor taste, many commentators rightly pointed out that the intent was clearly a social commentary. Family Guy was canceled for a while, but this was long before "Back To The Pilot" aired.

High-five!" and the general premise of having to cause the September 11th attacks were deemed unpalatable by huge swathes of viewers and many more who'd never seen the show but still took to the internet to voice their concerns. One moment that continues to rile audiences, however, is Brian and Stewie's 9/11-focused time-travel episode, season 10's "Back To The Pilot." The episode sparked uproar when it first aired in 2011 and would continue to make headlines for years afterward when it was rerun on live TV. Family Guy isn't a stranger to controversy and until the adult animation boom of the late '00s onward was rivaled only by South Park in terms of outrage-inducing moments.
