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.
How it feels
This is a short-lived comedy anthology series that spoofs action shows. Each episode has two segments, with a host introducing them in a mock serious style.

What happens
Danger Theatre is an American half-hour comedy anthology series for television, produced by Universal Television and originally aired on the American Fox network from July 7 to August 22, 1993. Each half-hour-long show consisted of two comedy segments, each a spoof of a familiar action/anthology format. There are two exceptions, one being “Go Ahead, Fry Me” with guest stars Liz Vassey and Sam Mann. The style of the comedy was somewhat similar to that of films like Airplane! and TV shows like Police Squad!. Robert Vaughn was the host for each episode, introducing to the camera each fifteen-minute segment with mock earnestness. The jokes ranged from humorous or preposterous dialogue to visual gags and slapstick designed to poke fun at the serious dramatic formats being lampooned. The score for the series was composed by Lalo Schifrin. Danger Theatre ran for seven episodes before cancellation. However, it was syndicated outside the US, airing in the UK on the BBC in 1994.
