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

Pop is a pop music program that aired in West Germany from 1974 to 1979. Each year, the show's title was changed to reflect that of the current year, e.g. Pop '76. It was originally broadcast on the SWF and HR networks. Pop was meant to rival fellow ZDF music shows Disco and Starparade, albeit catering to a younger audience. The show was hosted by Hans Jürgen Kliebenstein from its launch in 1974 until 1978. Afterward, in 1979, Volker Lechtenbrink took over as the show's host. Several artists, both German and international stars, appeared and performed on the show. Domestic artists from Germany such as the Silver Convention, Arabesque, Boney M., and Donna Summer appeared on the show. International artists such as The Police, Shirley and Co., Middle of the Road, and Jigsaw also made regular appearances. In 2017, reruns of the show began to air for the first time on One, an ARD network. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
