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
Three for the Road is an American drama television series that aired on CBS from September 14 to November 30, 1975. The series follows two brothers and their recently widowed father, who travel around the country in a recreational vehicle. Three for the Road was the first 60-minute dramatic production by MTM Enterprises. What is notable about Three for the Road is that after its cancellation, the newsmagazine 60 Minutes was moved into the Sundays-at-7 timeslot that Three for the Road had occupied (60 Minutes has continued to occupy that timeslot as of the 2023–2024 broadcast season). Also, Three for the Road would ultimately finish with the lowest ratings out of 97 shows that aired during the 1975–1976 American broadcast season. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
