Family Business

Épisode 1 - Personal Ads

21 février 2003 - 4.5/5

Seymore Butts (Adam Glaser) might make a living filming, sometimes performing in, directing/producing and distributing graphic, xxx rated videos, but true love is just as elusive for him as anyone else. Adam actually posted a personal ad on an internet dating site and this episode focuses on his resulting dates. From what I gather, the ad is still on the site. From what I know, Adam is still quite single. Much to the dismay of his mom, who wants little more for her son than to see him happily in a relationship with a nice girl. Mom, by the way, manages the ""Family Business"".

Épisode 2 - Reunion

28 février 2003 - 4.5/5

It's been 20 years since high school. Follow Adam Glasser (""Seymore Butts"") to his reunion and listen in on conversations with former classmates' reactions to his business, his life and his philosophy. Sometimes the loudest reactions are in the body language or how a voice changes. The whispers, looks and nervous smiles. The absence of a smile. The judgements. Class reunions are difficult enough. Adam Glasser's is worth going to, even if you won't go to your own!

Épisode 3 - Casa De Butts

7 mars 2003 - 4.7/5

Adam Glasser's mom, Lila, meets her new neighbor. While having lunch, the neighbor asks if Lila works. After a bit of stuttering for the right words, she admits she's a part of her son's business (she's the bookkeeper) and she has to explain what it is (Lila is nothing if not honest). More insights to the ""family"" behind this Family Business and even more humanity. Lila is very proud of the man her son is and can't (won't) hide it. However, as she laments, ""I'll bet Spielberg's mom doesn't get the same reaction"".

Épisode 4 - Sex Toys

14 mars 2003 - 4.5/5

How do you interview women for the job of porn star? How do you screen test them? In this episode, you'll find out. One hopeful is asked by Adam/Seymore, ""So, what's the best line of this business?"", she replies, ""The hours!"" Cousin Stevie is featured in all his charming, inept glory as he tries to give a friend a break by letting him sketch prototypes for sex toys. If only the guy could draw! Follow the family as they run their own 'departments' of this family business - and as Adam tries to expand it into the adult 'toy' realm. Between the girls' auditions (faking it is as natural to these women as wearing heels, implants and liposuction) and Stevie describing the ""not too deep love donut"" (for men) while admitting he needs one in reverse - this episode is just plain fun!

Épisode 5 - Strictly BiznASS

21 mars 2003 - 4/5

Oh woe, the business of naked people and sex-sex-sex can be so stressful! In this episode, the most graphic and disturbing scenes are at the poker table.

Épisode 1 - FameASS

30 janvier 2004 - 4/5

Season 2 premiere - finally! Adam is dating from that internet dating site again. This one enters into it already having seen the entire first season of the show, but nonetheless playing absurdly ignorant of what he actually does! Stevie is convinced to take acting classes, which are a stereotype of all sit-com exaggerations of acting classes. After making it through the first one without exploding in expletives or walking out (or both), he actually returns for more! Lila is prim and proper with her plate of baked goodies as she pursues a publisher for her cookbook and tries to win them over with samples. If she could only NOT mention what the family business is. A terrific start to a 2nd season!

Épisode 2 - In SicknASS and in health

6 février 2004 - 3/5

Épisode 3 - New ASSpirations

13 février 2004 - 4/5

Adam's assistant continues to pursue her new career IN the action rather than just in the office and of course, Adam is there to help. Meanwhile, mom gets Adam involved in ""speed dating"", so surely there's lots more comedy in store for this series, aside from the ongoing antics of everyone's favorite stooge, cousin Stevie. Interesting clips include a club 'poll dancer'/stripper giving serious lessons.

Épisode 4 - Topless in Tampa

20 février 2004 - 3/5

There's another porn convention, this time in Tampa, Florida. Is there really a need to say more about this episode? Oh, except that cousin Stevie is trying to redeem himself (again) by handling things back in California. Only thing is, no one and nothing seems to be cooperating. Of course.

Épisode 5 - Spunk'd

27 février 2004 - 3/5

Bishop is the star and retaliatory victim of a practical joke everyone takes part in, while readying another movie.

Épisode 6 - The Breast Is Yet to Come

5 mars 2004 - 3/5

Épisode 7 - ASS Good as It Gets

12 mars 2004 - 3/5

Who better than Adam to teach a class on adult film making? Obviously Bishop thinks he's learned enough and attempts to develop his own adult film line. Meanwhile, cousin Stevie visits his doctor and makes some promises we all wonder if he can keep.

Épisode 8 - Raising AwarenASS

19 mars 2004 - 3/5

Telethon for free speech! There are places that Adam cannot mail his movies to - or face serious jail time for pornography. Each state has its own definitions, most of them being, ""...you know it when you see it"". So, what's considered 'art' in CA is 'garbage' in that other state and 'dangerous' in ?????? As usual, Adam Glasser is well spoken about this. Lots of fun, lots of flashing for a pretty serious debate.

Épisode 9 - Chicago, IllinASS

26 mars 2004 - 3/5

Adam is partying, the family is handling business crises. Yeah, same story, but it's a new episode, really!

Épisode 10 - ASS the World Turns

2 avril 2004

Well, looks like this is it for a while...and the cliffhanger is Adam meeting what could be the girl he's been looking for (and his mom's been looking for, his aunt's been looking for, etc). While this provides the romantic outlet - cousin Stevie films girl on girl, providing the old fashioned hot shots this industry & series is known to be about.

Lila (Seymore/Adam's mom) prepares for Rosh Hashana and the entire family is expected to arrive. Adam reveals the secret he has been keeping of his new relationship with his ex-assistant Mirna (or does he?). Is Mirna the porn star, the girl that Mom has been hoping for ?

23 avril 2005

Adam's male performers are having trouble living UP to expectations, so it's time for new talent.

Épisode 9 - BroadcASS

14 mai 2005

Stevie wants to have his own radio show so Adam pulls some strings to get him a one-time audition spot on Playboy Radio. It wouldn't be Stevie if there wasn't a hitch, like guests don't show up (or storm out). Adam ?

Épisode 10 - Real ASState

28 mai 2005 - 4/5

Say it isn't so! Over so soon (the season). How appropriate that the lease on Adam's house is about to expire.

Épisode 8 - Nothing BUTT the Truth

16 juin 2006

Adam is never better than when he's eloquently and intelligently defending the right to free speech. This isn't just to further his own agenda in the adult entertainment business, but he seems sincerely dedicated to the cause overall. Better yet, he's not advocating free speech as an excuse to behave badly, illegally or immorally. Stevie strives to drive up membership for the Free Speech Coalition.
