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.

How it feels

Created by four Norwegian comedians, this show blends sketches and comedy segments. It originally aired late on Saturdays and was a spin-off of a radio program.

What happens

XLTV er en norsk humorserie som gikk på NRK2 fra 1998 til 1999. Programmet var av og med Espen Thoresen, Kristopher Schau, Atle Antonsen og Johan Golden og var delvis en videreføring og delvis en fusjon av radioprogrammet XL. Serien ble avsluttet med en spesialsending fra et show de gjorde på Quartfestivalen i 1999. Programmet gikk sent på lørdager. Programmet ble ingen seersuksess. Premieren ble kun sett av 36 000. Hver episode ble sendt i reprise på NRK1, med et seertall som var tre til fire ganger så høyt som originalsendingene på NRK2. XLTV ble etterfulgt av den lett absurde serien TvTv.
