These two long-running cable access television shows - The Reel Deal and The Show With No Name - derive their success from the same secret ingredient: personality. Although different in scope and tone, each show has a strong sense of itself in addition to dynamic and amusing hosts who viewers tune in to visit with week after week. Ostensibly a movie review show, The Reel Deal is hosted by the funny and charismatic Korey Coleman, who runs a tight ship but frequently pauses his motormouth to solicit reviews and opinions from the other show regulars. The Show With No Name host Charlie Sotelo trades barbs, information, and jokes with call-in viewers and co-host Cinco in between airing his eclectic mix of old film and comedy clips and other goodies. Our living room always welcomes both shows' weekly company.
