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

Mack and Myer for Hire is an American sitcom that aired in first-run syndication in 1963 and 1964, and remained popular for years in reruns. The show starred Broadway comic Mickey Deems and burlesque comedian Joey Faye, and was produced by Trans-Lux Television in New York. Each episode, designed for a five-days-a-week, 15-minute time slot, was approximately 12 minutes long, and the show was filmed using a two-camera setup. Two-hundred-and-two episodes were produced during its one year in production, and these were re-run well into the 1970s. The series was produced by Sandy Howard and directed by Ted Devlet.
