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
Four aliens take human forms to study Earth's inhabitants by posing as a family. They make many mistakes and find human behavior confusing and hilarious.

What happens
3rd Rock from the Sun is an American television sitcom created by Bonnie and Terry Turner, which originally aired from January 9, 1996, to May 22, 2001, on NBC. The show is about four extraterrestrials who are on an expedition to Earth, the third planet from the Sun, which they consider to be a very insignificant planet. The extraterrestrials pose as a human family to observe the behavior of human beings. The series was produced by The Carsey-Werner Company. The show premiered three years after the film Coneheads, which was also written by the Turners, and featured a similar premise of extraterrestrials arriving on Earth and assimilating into American society.
