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
In the Heat of the Night is an American police procedural crime drama television series loosely based on the 1965 novel by John Ball and the 1967 film directed by Norman Jewison. The TV series starred Carroll O'Connor as Southern police chief William "Bill" Gillespie and Howard Rollins as Philadelphia police detective Virgil Tibbs. The series was broadcast on NBC from March 6, 1988 to May 19, 1992, before moving to CBS, where it aired from October 28, 1992 to May 16, 1995. Its executive producers were O'Connor, Fred Silverman and Juanita Bartlett. This series marked O'Connor's return to a series for the first time since the All in the Family spinoff Archie Bunker's Place ended in 1983. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
