The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Make the Connection is an American game show, sponsored by Borden, that ran on Thursday nights from July 7 to September 29, 1955, on NBC from 8:30 to 9 p.m. Eastern Time. Original host Jim McKay was replaced after the first four episodes by Gene Rayburn, who debuted as a game show host on August 4, 1955. The series was a Mark Goodson-Bill Todman Production, and as such it had many things in common with the other panel shows developed by the company. Like What's My Line? and I've Got a Secret, there were four celebrity panelists who were each given a timed period in which to ask questions. Each panelist that was stumped earned the contestants money. Betty White made one of her earliest game show appearances as a panelist on the series (her first on national television was a few weeks earlier on What's My Line?). The regular panelists were White, Gene Klavan, Gloria DeHaven, and Eddie Bracken. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
