I know Jennie recently discussed the evils of reality television, but I must admit that I am a fan of some reality shows. Most of the time I watch because I'm a little fascinated, but I could care less if they were cancelled. There are a couple of reality shows, however, that I am passionate about. So passionate in fact that I would be throwing fits if they were ever taken off the air.

Tonight happens to be the season premiere of my favorite reality show, Family Business. Family Business chronicles the life of Adam Glasser (a.k.a. Seymore Butts), his family, and the business they run in the adult industry. The show is the polar opposite of The Osbournes. Instead of a wacky family in a normal world you have a very normal family in a wacky world.

While the behind the scenes look at the adult industry is fascinating, the true charm of this show lies in its characters. First we have Adam, a very intelligent guy who is raising his young son while looking for love outside the adult industry. For someone who also goes by Seymore Butts, this is not an easy thing. Then we have his mother, Lila. Lila is like any mom. She is very proud of what her son has accomplished and would love nothing more than for him to settle down with someone.

Finally we have Cousin Stevie. What can I say about Cousin Stevie? He is everyone's favorite. Some of his antics are unbelievable at times, and yet we all know someone like him. I think that is part of his appeal. Here are a few of my favorite Cousin Stevie moments:

1) Cousin Stevie is suppose to be picking up someone at the airport for Lila. When the person calls to say no one has showed up Lila call him on his cell phone. Stevie tells Lila that he is driving around the airport right now and can't find the person. The reality? Stevie is getting a pedicure and is not anywhere near the airport.

2) Adam needs a certain item for a shoot. He can't start filiming until he has it, so he sends Cousin Stevie to go buy it. A couple of hours later Adam calls Stevie on his cell to see why he hasn't made it back yet. Stevie tells Adam that traffic is terrible and he is stuck, bumper to bumper. The reality? Stevie is still at the store getting a lap dance in the back room.

3) Adam and Cousin Stevie go to a convetion to promote Seymore Butts and do a little business. The first day each of them has an agenda of what they are going to accomplish. Adam arrives at the convention and sees that Stevie isn't there. Realizing he made a fatal error in not bringin Stevie with him, Adam calls Stevie to see where he is at. Cousin Stevie says he is there be he can't find the Seymore Butts booth. The reality? Cousin Stevie is actually at the Fetish Convention.

I could go on and on about the exploits of Cousin Stevie. If you have a chance I highly recommend you check out Family Business. I promise, you won't be sorry!
