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

The Finder is an American procedural drama television series created by Hart Hanson that ran as a midseason replacement on Fox from January 12, 2012, to May 11, 2012. The series originally aired on Thursdays at 9:00 pm, and moved to Fridays at 8:00 pm beginning April 6, 2012. It is a spin-off of another Fox television series, Bones (also created by Hanson), where the backdoor pilot, a season-six episode entitled "The Finder", aired in April 2011. It is loosely based on The Locator series of two books (The Knowland Retribution and The Lacey Confession) by Richard Greener. On May 9, 2012, Fox cancelled the series after its one limited season. It would be one of Michael Clarke Duncan’s final screen appearances before his death in September 2012, four months after this series’ final episode. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
