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

America is an American lifestyle and variety talk show that aired in daily syndication from September 19, 1985 until January 3, 1986. The show, which was purposely designed to be a program to serve as a late afternoon lead-in for its affiliates' news broadcasts, was a joint production of Post-Newsweek Stations and Paramount Domestic Television and emanated from Paramount Studios in Hollywood, California. Despite Paramount's expectations for America, the program was unable to find an audience and was cancelled after sixteen weeks on the air. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
