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 in this case 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.

S2E1 - FameASS
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!

S2E3 - New ASSpirations
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.

S2E4 - Topless in Tampa
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.

S2E5 - Spunk'd
Bishop is the star and retaliatory victim of a practical joke everyone takes part in, while readying another movie.

S2E6 - The Breast Is Yet to Come
Seymore's (Adam's) assistant/secretary isn't out of the picture yet. Or IN the pictures either. She insists on implants, despite the best attempts by both Adam and Stevie to convince her she doesn't need them.

S2E7 - ASS Good as It Gets
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.

S2E8 - Chicago, IllinASS
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.

S2E9 - Raising AwarenASS
Adam is partying, the family is handling business crises. Yeah, same story, but it's a new episode, really!

S2E10 - ASS the World Turns
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.
