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

Let's Play Post Office is an American game show which aired on NBC from September 27, 1965 to July 1, 1966. Don Morrow was the host, with Bill Wendell and Wayne Howell as announcers. Paul Taubman, who had previously worked with Morrow on Camouflage, provided music. The series aired at 12:30 PM Eastern and was the second game show by Merv Griffin Productions; the first was Jeopardy!, which had premiered on NBC eighteen months earlier (and in fact had moved to noon on the day Post Office debuted, thus becoming the show's lead-in throughout its run). The show was created by Louise Adamo. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
