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
Contestants try to fix statements that have one wrong word, calling them bloopers, to win cash on a game show. The show has a host, an announcer, and a cartoon opening sequence.

What happens
Whew! is an American television game show that aired on CBS from April 23,1979, until May 30,1980. Contestants compete to correct "bloopers," factual statements in which one word has been changed, on a game board to win cash. The game was created by Jay Wolpert, with Tom Kennedy as host and Rod Roddy as announcer. Production was initially credited to the Bud Austin Company, then later changed to Jay Wolpert Productions in association with Burt Sugarman Inc. The animated opening sequence, featuring a woman evading an array of villains, was produced by Hanna-Barbera. In September 2021, TV network Buzzr began reruns of Whew! (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
