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.

How it feels

A game show where celebrity couples answer questions about each other's habits and secrets. The host reads a question and the spouses try to match their answers. It is a fun look into the private lives of famous pairs from the 1970s and 1980s.

What happens

Tattletales is an American game show produced by Goodson-Todman Productions. The program had two runs on the CBS daytime schedule between February 1974 and June 1984. It was hosted by Bert Convy, with several announcers including Jack Clark, Gene Wood, Johnny Olson and John Harlan providing the voiceover at various times. Clark was the first primary announcer for the first year, with Harlan and Olson filling in before Wood becoming the primary announcer in early 1975 during the show's first run, and Olson was announcing during the 1980s. The show's premise involved questions asked about celebrity couples' personal lives and was based on He Said, She Said, a syndicated Goodson-Todman show hosted by Joe Garagiola that aired during the 1969–70 season, which in itself was based on an unsold 1966 pilot called It Had to Be You that was hosted by Ed McMahon, which featured four regular couples who were not celebrities.
