Lovebites
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
Lovebites is a 2002 New Zealand comedy television series spun off from the 2000 film Hopeless. It features Scott Wills, Phil Pinner, Adam Gardiner and Mia Taumoepeau reprising their roles from the film and adds Gentiane Lupi to the core cast. It was filmed in 2001 with a budget of $4 million and aired on TV3 beginning 10pm on Thursdays in March 2002. It follows the lives of five flatmates in their twenties living in Wellington. 26 episodes were produced but it was taken off air after 12 episodes. Frances Grant of the New Zealand Herald said after the first three episodes "When the show's being true to the sometimes awkward, sometimes insecurely egotistical strain of our national character, it's very funny. When it attempts the kind of wacky, motor-mouthed repartee of an American sitcom it sounds forced." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
