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

Three couples answer questions to see who knows their partner best. The show was taped without a live audience and the couples sat on love seats.

What happens

Love Handles was a Canadian television game show produced by Blair Murdoch from 1996 to 1998 on the Global Television Network, and hosted by Stu Jeffries. The show's announcer was David Kaye. The series had the same premise as the United States show The Newlywed Game: Three married couples or mates competed, including occasional same gender couples, to determine which couple knew each other the best. Like many of Murdoch's shows, Love Handles was taped at U.TV in Vancouver, British Columbia without a studio audience. The set had each team sitting on a love seat. Many episodes of Love Handles were rerun from 1999 to 2002 on Prime, and were later seen on GameTV, beginning in 2007. Episodes featuring same sex couples were also re-aired on OutTV (formerly PrideVision TV), while episodes can also be seen on the Canadian game show streaming service BonusRound.
