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
A cartoon superhero hosts a talk show in outer space. He interviews real celebrity guests while old Hanna-Barbera animation is recycled for visual gags and non-sequitur jokes.

What happens
Space Ghost Coast to Coast is an American adult live-action/animated parody talk show produced by and aired on Cartoon Network. A spin-off of Hanna-Barbera's Space Ghost, it is hosted by a reimagined version of the series protagonist Space Ghost. It incorporates surreal and non-sequitur humor while reusing substantial amounts of animation from Hanna-Barbera series. It is the first TV series to be produced by Williams Street, Cartoon Network's in-house production studio which later started programming block Adult Swim in the early 2000s. Space Ghost Coast to Coast is one of the first original series produced for Cartoon Network, and the earliest to not be an anthology of pre-existing cartoons. It premiered on April 15, 1994, and originally ended on December 17, 1999. It was revived on May 7, 2001, and was moved to the new Adult Swim late-night programming block on September 2, where new episodes premiered until April 12, 2004. A final season was released exclusively on GameTap from 2006 to 2008. 109 episodes were aired over 10 seasons. Space Ghost Coast to Coast helped launch the careers of Mike Lazzo, Keith Crofford, Matt Harrigan, C. Martin Croker, Adam Reed, Matt Thompson, Andy Merrill, Jim Fortier, Pete Smith, Michael Ouweleen, Erik Richter, Dave Willis, and Matt Maiellaro. It produced the spin-offs The Brak Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Perfect Hair Forever, and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. The series inspired or influenced other series for Adult Swim, including Sealab 2021 and The Eric Andre Show. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
