Synopsis

Family Business was an American reality TV series produced for the cable network Showtime. Based in Los Angeles, the series focused on the pornography industry and the life of Adam Glasser, a reality porn star and video director who uses the stage name "Seymore Butts". Also featured on the series were his son, Brady, along with his mother, Lila Glasser, and his older cousin, Stevie Glasser, both of whom help Adam run the eponymous "family business" of the series, which in this case is a successful porn video production and distribution house in the San Fernando Valley, known for the "Seymore Butts" line of videos. The series first aired in 2003. In Canada it is broadcast on The Movie Network, Movie Central, and Showcase Television, in the UK on Channel 4, and in Latin America on FX. The first two seasons are currently available on DVD in North America. The series ran for four seasons. The series won the 2005 AVN award for 'Best Alternative Release'.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
caspian1978 One of Showtime's better shows, Family Business follow Seymore Butts and his family as they live their colorful lives throughout the wonderful world of pornography. The fun never ends as Seymore, his loud and off the wall cousin, Stevie, and his quiet and somewhat creative mother work with some of the hottest and scariest people in the adult movie industry. Still, while the first season gained an audience and made people watch, some episodes proved the audience right that much of what you are seeing is not reality but "sketch reality." Overall, real of fake, most of what you see in LA to begin with is fake all together. A good show, worth the watch. Check it out!
cficorp I'm no friend of porn (watched some, couldn't get to like them). And I'm no friend of soaps either. But this one is somewhere in between and quite intriguing.Technically speaking, the camera is shaky, pictures often slightly blurry, sound is ok. The editing is sometimes fast, sometimes steady - seems just right to me. Props - well, it seems to just be Seymore's (aka Adam Glasser) real house, the studio and the surroundings (nearby sex shops, strip clubs, a hotel hall, mall's parking lot). Story, simple: A porn producer and director trying to get a proper life outside of work.After watching the first three episodes I really want to know: Will he achieve the desperately sought after, steady relationship? Will cousin Stevie cheer up a little? Will Seymore's mom find a neighbour accepting her bookkeeping of an adult video producing business, and not stop talking to her?Well, I rate it to be 6 of 10.Maybe I like soaps after all...but don't tell my girlfriend ;-)
FeverDog Showtime's new series following the professional and personal drudgery of America's most popular adult filmmaker Seymour Butts.Cable television takes another step towards hardcore programming with this reality show, filled with nudity, sex, sex toys, and unsuccessful dating, as Adam (a.k.a. Seymore) looks for a soul mate who'll accept both his career choice and young son. The creative mind behind such titles as SQUIRTERS and GLUTEUS TO THE MAXIMUS runs his business with the help of Lila, his open-minded mother (the bookkeeper), and foul-mouthed, cantankerous Cousin Stevie (the distributor and gopher).My favorite episode (there's only, like, five so far) is the one in which Chase, a male porn star wannabe, talks himself into a role, only to discover he's unable to supply the crucial money shot, even after taking Viagra.Like BOOGIE NIGHTS, "Family Business" proves that entertainment can deal with pornography without being pornographic itself. There's a rather bemused air around this show, so it's hard to be offended by it. Besides, if you're easily offended, would you be subscribing to Showtime in the first place?New episodes currently air Fridays @ 11:30 EST.
Tennessee_Rebel Family Business is a new show that focus's on Adam Glasser. A single father and a man who works in the adult film Industry. I enjoy this show very much, as it explores all the hard work that goes into making these films, and the lengths that they must go to, to get that perfect shot, and the perfect cast. It is aimed at the adult crowd, as it is not intended for the younger audience.
