Family Business (referred to as Porn: A Family Business in the UK) is 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 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'.
Episodes usually follow a day or two in the life of the Glassers. Many episodes focus on Adam, a single father, raising his young son, Brady, while keeping his professional life separate from his private life. Other episodes focus on his difficulties in establishing relationships (finding Miss Right) outside the porn industry. Adam's mother, Lila, adds to the mix by setting her son up on blind dates or with a speed dating service.
Much of the show's comic relief is provided by Stevie, a cantankerous character who often gets into mischief and, as the series progresses, becomes a video director in his own right, as does Bishop, Glasser's camera operator and video editor.
