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.
