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 Bozo Show is a children's television program that aired on WGN-TV in Chicago and nationally on its superstation feed (now NewsNation) from 1960 to 2001. It was based on a children's record-book series, Bozo the Clown, by Capitol Records. The series was a locally produced version of the internationally franchised Bozo the Clown format and is the longest-running in the franchise. Recognized as the most popular and successful locally produced children's program in the history of television, it aired under this title for only 14 of its 40+ years: it also aired under the titles Bozo (1960–1961), Bozo's Circus (1961–1980), and The Bozo Super Sunday Show (1994–2001).
