The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Harbourmaster is an American adventure/drama series that ran on CBS from September 26, to December 26, 1957. On January 5, 1958, the series began running on ABC as Adventure at Scott Island, and it ended on June 29, 1958. Harbourmaster was a Ziv production. Despite the American origin of the show, and its setting in Massachusetts, the initial title of the show used the non-American spelling "Harbourmaster" (with a "u") in order to facilitate international sales of the program.
