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

Harrigan and Son is an American sitcom about a father-and-son team of lawyers played by Pat O'Brien as James Harrigan Sr. and Roger Perry as James Jr. airing on ABC from October 14, 1960, until September 29, 1961. In supporting roles, as secretaries, are Georgine Darcy as Gypsy and Helen Kleeb as Miss Claridge. A running gag in the show consisted of Harrigan Sr. commenting on some situation in Latin, Harrigan Jr. replying, "Which means?" and Harrigan Sr. translating his comment, usually humorous, into English. The same gag had been used often in the television show Colonel Humphrey Flack some years earlier. The closing of the show featured O'Brien and Perry, in silhouette behind the credits, singing the old George M. Cohan song, "Harrigan". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
