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 Hogan Family (originally titled Valerie and later Valerie's Family: The Hogans) is an American sitcom television series that aired on NBC from March 1, 1986, to May 7, 1990, and later aired on CBS from September 15, 1990, to July 20, 1991, for a total of six seasons. It was produced in association with Lorimar Productions (1986), Lorimar-Telepictures (1986–88), and Lorimar Television (1988–91). Under the title Valerie, the show centered on Valerie Harper in the title role as a mother trying to juggle her career as a buyer for an auction house and raising three teenage sons with an absent airline pilot husband (Josh Taylor). After the first two seasons, due to a salary dispute involving future ancillary profits, Harper was fired from the show. Her character was killed off at the start of season three, and Sandy Duncan joined the cast as Valerie's sister-in-law and the boys' aunt. The series was retitled Valerie's Family: The Hogans, and for the rest of the series, it was retitled The Hogan Family. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
