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

Childrens Hospital (originally titled Children's Hospital as webisodes) is an American dark comedy television series created by Rob Corddry for Cartoon Network's nighttime programming block Adult Swim. The series began as a web series on TheWB.com with ten episodes, roughly five minutes in length, all of which premiered on December 8, 2008. The series ran for seven seasons from July 11, 2010 to April 15, 2016. The series serves as a parody of medical drama television series, mocking genre conventions with surreal humor. Corddry is part of an ensemble cast portraying the titular hospital's doctors, which also includes Lake Bell, Erinn Hayes, Rob Huebel, Ken Marino and Megan Mullally. Henry Winkler and Malin Åkerman joined the cast starting with the second season as a hospital administrator and a doctor, respectively. Zandy Hartig and Brian Huskey recurred throughout the show's run, eventually joining the main cast for the fifth season. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
