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

Pictionary is an American children's game show based on the picture-drawing board game of the same name. This was the first of three game shows based on the board game, with later editions for adults launched in 1997 and 2022. The show was hosted by Brian Robbins, with assistance from Julie Friedman as "Felicity", and Rick Zumwalt as "Judge Mental". Pictionary ran from June 5, 1989, until September 8, 1989, in syndication and was a joint production of Barry & Enright Productions and QMI Television. The program was distributed by MCA Television.
