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 S and M Comic Book is a Canadian series of four sketch comedy specials, that aired on CBC Television in 1986 and 1987. Starring Greg Malone and Tommy Sexton, the series evolved out of the pair's touring show Two Foolish to Talk About. Sketches on the show frequently featured celebrity impersonations, including Malone's portrayals of Barbara Frum, Ronald Reagan, John Forsythe, Joan Collins, Maureen Forrester and Queen Elizabeth II, and Sexton's impressions of Sylvester Stallone and Ginette Reno. The series won two Gemini Awards in 1987, for Best Variety Series and Best Performance in a Variety or Performing Arts Series. It was produced by Cynthia Grech - Kirkbride. Instead of expanding Comic Book into a permanent series, Malone and Sexton worked with their colleagues Mary Walsh, Andy Jones and Cathy Jones to develop the CODCO series, which began airing in 1988.
