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

This is a short-lived American sitcom and sketch comedy show from 1982. It features quick, rapid-fire humor with absurd and nonsensical punchlines, following the style of a 1950s prank. The series was broadcast for only five episodes in the United States and later on the BBC.

What happens

No Soap, Radio is an American sitcom and sketch comedy that aired on ABC on Thursdays from April 15 until May 13, 1982. Five episodes were broadcast. The five episodes also appeared on the BBC, where the deletion of commercial breaks gave the show an even more rapid-fire look. The title is taken from a popular 1950s prank where "no soap radio" is given as a non-sequitur punchline to a joke. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
