Have you watched Family
Business yet? It's on Showtime, Friday nights at 10:30 central.
Tonight there's a new episode, followed immediately by last week's
episode. Here's the premise: this guy, Adam Glasser, runs a small
but successful business in California. The show centers around him, his
mom and his cousin, who all run the business. His kid and his employees
show up. And he makes porn! And his work name is Seymore Butts! It's a hoot. You know, some people would pay good money to
be surrounded by beautiful people having sex and then getting to film it.
Adam, though, acts like it's just one more fucking headache. "We need
lube, dammit. Hurry up, we gotta get the anal scene." Stevie, the cousin,
is a gruff older guy with a filthy mouth who reminds me of a guy I worked
with right after I got out of college. His mom is obviously proud of him,
but she'd like him to meet a nice girl, of course. Adam comes across as
likeable and sensible, if a bit overworked by his business. But what small
businessman isn't? Again I say: a hoot. You will laugh right out loud. |
