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.

The show was originally aired on Saturdays, began from March 20, 1999, to November 17, 2001, replacing Tropang Trumpo and moved to Fridays from November 23, 2001, to March 7, 2003, to compete with GMA 7's Bubble Gang. From March 16, 2003, to February 15, 2004, the show was reformatted with its new title Ispup Atbp. and moved to Sundays, replacing the former timeslot of The Price is Right and was replaced by PBA on ABC. The program was known for its extensive use of political satire and parodies poking fun at various aspects of Filipino and occasionally foreign pop culture, solely focusing on the popularity and sometimes notoriety of celebrities, television shows, and political figures. When the show was reformatted in 2003, original sketches were added. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
