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.

How it feels

This series aired punk and related music videos late at night on MuchMusic. It featured both well-known punk bands and lesser-known Canadian groups, but was often replaced by other programming.

What happens

The Punk Show was a half hour video block that aired on Thursdays at midnight and Fridays at 4:00 AM on MuchMusic and MuchLOUD. The program usually aired a mix of known punk bands and some underground Canadian groups. Sometimes, videos by ska, emo, and hardcore bands would be shown as well. Despite The Punk Show being the only guaranteed way to watch non-mainstream punk videos on MuchMusic, it was often subject to preemptions during its 12:00 timeslot, usually for a marathon of more demographic-friendly shows, or a re-airing of a previously aired program.
