Patrick Warburton - Warburton's Mother Wants Him To Quit 'Indecent' Family Guy

Barbara Warburton is a leading member of decency watchdog group the Parents Television Council - the U.S. organisation trying to clean-up Tv - and she has made it one of her missions to axe Seth MCFarlane's irreverent show, in which her son plays wheelchair-bound cop Joe Swanson.

According to U.S. tabloid the Globe, she recently filed a formal complaint with the Federal Communications Commission in an effort to have the show taken off the air on decency grounds.

She says, "Shows like these are leading toward the destruction of morality, and nothing seems sacred anymore.

"I have encouraged Patrick to quit the show, but it hasn't been very successful yet."
