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

Two hosts with different personalities present a comedy series made up of sketches, random humor, and street pranks. They often joke about the racial friction between them.

What happens

Buzz was a Canadian comedy television series that aired on The Comedy Network from 2000 to 2005. The show was hosted by "Mista Mo" (Morgan Oliver Smith) and Daryn Jones. The show originally aired from 1996-1999 as a community channel show on Rogers Television before getting a network deal in 1999. In 2001, the show won a Gemini Award in the "Best Writing in a Comedy or Variety Program or Series" category. Season 4 saw them take the show to New York, London, Amsterdam and Frankfurt. The show ended in 2005. Created in Toronto, the show found a place on the Comedy Network when The Tom Green Show left to MTV. The show uses sketch comedy, non-sequiturs and guerrilla comedy. The two hosts, Daryn Jones, a geeky theatre major, and Mista Mo, an "almost real rapper" often riff on the racial tensions between them. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
