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

Acceptable.TV is a television program created by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab that aired on VH1 from March 23 to May 11, 2007. Each show was composed of several mini-episodes created by the Acceptable.TV staff, with one mini-episode that was submitted by a viewer. After each episode viewers would be able to vote online for their two favorites. The two that received the most votes will be continued in the following episode, and the remaining three would be cancelled and replaced by new mini-shows. The show was adapted from Harmon and Schrab's Channel 101 screenings, and the cast was composed of various Channel 101 contributors. The series is also known for the segments Mr. Sprinkles, created by Justin Roiland and produced by Justin Roiland's Solo Vanity Card Productions!, known for the creation of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty. Users would also be able to submit their own 2.5 minute mini-episodes. Each week five of the user-created shows would be selected by the show's creators and people would be allowed to vote for their favorite user-created episode. The mini-episode with the highest votes would air on television alongside the staff created mini-episodes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
