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

Camp Midnite is a Friday late night, 90-minute variety/talk show on the USA Network in 1989. Its twenty-four episodes were hosted by Dick Wilson, a radio personality from Kansas City, Missouri (not to be confused with Dick Wilson, the actor who played "Mr. Whipple" in commercials). The show featured skits that were done by cast members Tony Forkush and Caroline Schlitt. They did take-offs on television series such as Love Connection and Gilligan's Island, as well as celebrities Michael Jackson and Dustin Hoffman in "Singing in the Rainman". The series was produced by Dick Clark Productions and its music provided by Scooter Pietsch. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
