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

Million Dollar Money Drop is an American game show that aired on Fox in the United States and Canada. It is based on the UK flagship series The Million Pound Drop Live (now The £100K Drop), but featured an entirely different game format and its show's set (blue as opposed to red, and a different music theme). The series is hosted by Kevin Pollak. The show premiered on December 20, 2010 and ended on February 1, 2011. On May 18, 2011, TVSeriesFinale.com reported that Fox had cancelled Million Dollar Money Drop and would not be producing a second season. Despite the cancellation, however, more than 15 different international versions of the program will continue to air in other countries; the original version continued to run until the last episode on August 23, 2019.
