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 Baseball Bunch is an American educational children's television series that originally aired in broadcast syndication from August 23, 1980, through the fall of 1985. Produced by Major League Baseball Productions, the series is a 30-minute baseball-themed program that aired on Saturday mornings featuring a combination of comedy sketches and Major League guest-stars, intended to provide instructional tips to Little League aged children. Throughout its five-season run, the series starred Johnny Bench, Tommy Lasorda and the San Diego Chicken alongside a group of eight children (boys and girls ranging in age from 8–14) as "The Bunch".
