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

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (EM:HE; sometimes informally referred to as Extreme Home Makeover) is an American reality television series that aired from February 15, 2004, to January 13, 2012, on ABC and in 2020 on HGTV. It premiered on January 2, 2025, for its tenth season on ABC and its eleventh season overall. The series is a spin-off of Extreme Makeover that features a family that has faced some sort of hardship, having their home completely remodeled to better suit their exact needs. The pilot aired in December 2003. The series was produced by Endemol USA in association with Disney–ABC Television Group's Greengrass Television. The original ABC run was hosted by Ty Pennington; the HGTV season was hosted by actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson. The executive producers in the original series were Brady Connell and George Verschoor. On May 7, 2024, the series was revived again and returned to ABC for the first time since 2012, with Joanna Teplin and Clea Shearer from the website The Home Edit as co-hosts. The program originally aired on Sunday evenings, but was moved to Friday nights during the 2011–12 television season. Upon the airing of its final episode in series form during its original run, and for the 2012 special holiday run, it was ABC's last series to air solely in 4:3 standard definition. However, when the show was revived by HGTV, it was converted into high definition and widescreen presentation. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
