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
This was a Nickelodeon show where kids voted online to choose which cartoons would air each afternoon. The hosts did sketches and gags with the studio audience and interviewed celebrity guests.

What happens
U-Pick Live was a program that aired on Nickelodeon from October 14, 2002, to May 27, 2005, on weekday afternoons from Nickelodeon's headquarters in New York City's Times Square. Airing from 5:00pm to 7:00pm EST, the show allowed viewers to pick via internet voting the Nickelodeon shows, usually cartoons, that would air. The hosts of the show also took part in sketches and gags, often including members of the studio audience and celebrity guests. Interviews with celebrity guests and musical performances were also frequent features. It was originally U-Pick Friday from 1999 to late 2000, hosted by Henry and June of KaBlam!. The concept of U-Pick originated with the Nick in the Afternoon block in 1994. After U-Pick Live's cancellation, the concept of user-chosen programming would not return until its comeback as part of The '90s Are All That in 2011. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
