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

I, Detective is an American documentary-style series that aired on Court TV (now truTV) from 2001 to 2006. For a time in early 2014, the show returned in reruns on sister network HLN. At first, it was retitled Detective Files, but a month later, the show returned to its original title. The reruns have been repackaged to include updates at the end of some episodes on what became of the suspect(s) or parties involved since the final verdicts. Reruns aired on the Justice Network in 2015. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
