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.
How it feels
Two teams of contestants try to complete missing letters in common phrases. The show features a rotating host and runs in a classic game show format from the 1960s.

What happens
Missing Links is a Goodson-Todman game show hosted by Ed McMahon which originally ran on NBC from September 9, 1963, to March 27, 1964, then moved to ABC for its final nine months, with Dick Clark (who later hosted TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes with McMahon) becoming the new host. This was Clark's only Goodson-Todman game show as well as the only game show he hosted where he did not do his salute sign off "For now Dick Clark, so long!" (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
