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

The show follows the same convenience store clerks from the movie, now animated, as they deal with weird customers and bizarre situations. It is a short-lived adult cartoon set in the same fictional universe.

What happens

Clerks (retronym: Clerks: The Animated Series) is an American adult animated sitcom created by Kevin Smith for ABC. Based on Smith's 1994 comedy film of the same name, it was developed for television by Smith, Smith's producing partner Scott Mosier and former Seinfeld writer David Mandel with character designs by Stephen Silver, later known for character designs in Disney Channel's Kim Possible and Nickelodeon's Danny Phantom. It is the first television show to be set in Smith's View Askewniverse. It is Disney’s second adult animated television series after The PJs. Six episodes of the show were produced; only two episodes aired before the show was cancelled by ABC, with the remaining episodes burnt off at Comedy Central. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
