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

Can't Get a Date is a documentary-style reality show on VH1 and Logo. The show takes a variety of individuals from New York City who feel that they have personal issues that are holding them back from finding romance. An anonymous host, producer Stefan Springman, guides them through lifestyle changes – physical, emotional, and behavioral – to help them improve themselves and ultimately become more "dateable". As VH1 states on its website, Can't Get a Date "explores the problems of such people and teaches them the skills to find love in an honest, amusing, and unique way". The working title of the program was "Crushed Out", and the program was co-created by Stefan Springman, Toby Barraud, and Manny Kivowitz. The final original episode of Can't Get A Date aired on June 28, 2006. The series run is available free to watch on the Logo website. It was also licensed exclusively to Netflix as part of an ongoing licensing agreement between the network and the company; it can be watched by Netflix account holders via their website, and an exclusive DVD (by "Red Envelope Entertainment") can be rented through Netflix. It contains only the gay and lesbian episodes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
