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

Twitch City is a Canadian sitcom produced by CBC Television, which aired as two short runs in 1998 and 2000. The series also aired in the United States on Bravo, and in Australia. The show's surreal humour was popular with critics. The show was never a mainstream ratings success in Canada, although it had a devoted cult following. The show was directed by Bruce McDonald and produced by Shadow Shows and Accent Entertainment in association with the CBC. Music was composed by Bob Wiseman. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
