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

The Richard Bey Show was a syndicated American tabloid talk show hosted by Richard Bey which aired from September 28, 1992 to December 27, 1996, originally produced from and aired on WWOR (channel 9) in New York. It was a continuation of Nine Broadcast Plaza (9BP) which began airing on September 18, 1989 and was initially cohosted by Bey with Matt Lauer before Bey gradually took the reins. Nine Broadcast Plaza was considered the first show of its kind worldwide where it touched on racy topics on-air, essentially a precursor of and helping to pioneer trash TV. After renaming as The Richard Bey Show, it became further risqué and featured outrageous content such as fights, graphic language, graphic sexual content, and drug references, while deliberately pushing the humorous aspect. Bey himself described it as a "parody of talk shows". The show was nationally syndicated by All American Television from January 2, 1995 to December 27, 1996 (almost exclusively on UPN stations, due to Chris-Craft Television being the show's distributor). Its executive producers were Bob Woodruff and David Sittenfeld. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
