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

Centennial is a 12-episode American television miniseries that aired on NBC from October 1978 to February 1979, and again from September 1980 to October 1980. The miniseries follows the fictional history of Centennial, Colorado, from 1795 to the 1970s. It was based on the 1974 novel of the same name by James A. Michener and was produced by John Wilder. With a runtime of 26 hours and a $25 million budget, it was one of the longest American miniseries ever and the most expensive television show in history. It employed four directors and five cinematographers, and featured over 100 speaking parts. Centennial was released on DVD on July 29, 2008. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
