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 Courtship of Eddie's Father is an American sitcom based on the 1963 film of the same name, which was based on a novel by Mark Toby (edited by Dorothy Wilson). The series is about a widower, Tom Corbett (played by Bill Bixby), who is a magazine publisher, and his young son Eddie (played by Brandon Cruz). Eddie believes his father should marry and manipulates situations surrounding the women his father is interested in. (Eddie's matchmaking efforts were the theme of the film but gradually became less central to the storylines in the series.) The series debuted on September 17, 1969, and was last broadcast on March 1, 1972. Bixby received an Emmy nomination for the show. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
