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

The Music Shop was a music program on NBC which premiered in 1959 in a Sunday time slot. Hosted by and starring Buddy Bregman, the show attempted to capitalize on the popularity of the related series The Dick Clark Show. Its first show featured Bobby Darin, Ritchie Valens, The Collins Kids, Gary Crosby, and Sam Butera. Bregman said that his show differed from Clark's because he sought as guests "the Dean Martins, Frank Sinatras, and Eddie Fishers", rather than just "teen-age recording artists". The program was also known as the Buddy Bregman Music Show. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
