Showtime’s R-rated reality series Family Business finally makes its DVD debut in Canada next week.

The show, which hits stores on July 26 and can be pre-ordered from Amazon.ca (or bought from Amazon.com), attempts to capture the porn industry at its best. Family Business centres on Adam Glasser, aka Seymore Butts, a porn producer/star. His “gonzo” style of porn – unscripted sex shot with a hand held camera – has made his alias famous in the industry.

Family Business follows Glasser as he unsuccessfully looks for love outside the industry, parents his young son, Brady, and runs his company – with his mom and cousin. His mother Lila handles the financial end, while cousin Stevie handles distribution.

Showtime tries its hardest to juxtapose Glasser’s unusual day job with the fact that he is a “normal” dad.

“We don’t wear scarlet letters; we’re not easily detected,” says Glasser. “We’re just normal people who have an outrageous job and work environment. Kind of like of the opposite of the Osbourne’s who are outrageous people in a somewhat normal environment.”

The DVD set includes all 10 season one episodes on three discs, as well as audio commentary, a season two preview, family interviews and a music video for the show’s theme song.

Season two is available on DVD now in the United States and will be released to Canada on September 20, 2005.

The third season of Family Business aired this past spring and Showtime has reportedly renewed the show for a fourth season.
