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
A team of engineers builds oversized household items to break world records. Each episode shows the construction and testing of these giant functioning objects.

What happens
Big! is a television program series in which an episode consists of a team of engineers manufacturing the world's biggest items (usually a household item that is normally hand carried, scaled up to proportions that make the items unusable without JCBs and cherrypickers) for the sake of setting world records. The devices have to function to qualify. The series originally aired on Discovery Channel in 2004. It is currently airing on The Science Channel weekday mornings. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
