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 Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show (known as You're on Nickelodeon, Charlie Brown during reruns on Nickelodeon) is an American animated television series featuring characters and storylines from the Charles M. Schulz comic strip Peanuts as first presented for television in the Peanuts animated specials. It aired Saturday mornings on the CBS network from 1983 to 1985. Due to lower-than-expected ratings, in an attempt to boost viewership, CBS moved the series to 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time early in 1984. It did not help the ratings much, and while the show was not formally cancelled in 1984, further production was on hiatus, and in 1985, CBS ordered five new episodes for what would be a second and final season. Early in 1986, CBS dropped the show due to the ratings still being below expectations. The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show is one of the few television series produced by Bill Melendez, whose animation studio generally produced specials. The series re-aired on Disney Channel from 1993 to 1997, and on Nickelodeon from 1998 to 2000. Both networks broadcast several Peanuts specials and the This Is America, Charlie Brown miniseries alongside The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show to increase the available number of episodes. Outside the U.S., the series aired on YTV in Canada by 1996, and on the CBBC block on BBC One and BBC Two from 1986 to 2005. It is available for streaming on Apple TV on July 10, 2026.
