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
WIOU is an American drama television series, which aired on CBS from October 24, 1990, until March 20, 1991. The show is set in the news department of a fictional television station whose actual callsign is WNDY, but which is nicknamed WIOU by its staff because of the station's perennial financial struggles. According to television researchers Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh, 14 episodes were produced but only 13 aired. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
