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

The Neighbors is an American game show. It aired on ABC from December 29, 1975 to April 9, 1976. It included five female neighbors as contestants, who were asked gossip questions about each other. Regis Philbin co-hosted the show with Jane Nelson, and Joe Seiter was the announcer. It was produced by Bill Carruthers. The show aired at 2:30pm, replacing Showoffs, in a scheduling shuffle with Let's Make a Deal and Rhyme and Reason. However, it was beaten by soap operas Guiding Light on CBS, and The Doctors on NBC. The game show was part of Fred Silverman's plan to align ABC's daytime image. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
