The Les Crane Show
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
The Les Crane Show is an American late-night talk show hosted by Les Crane that aired on ABC from November 9, 1964, to February 26, 1965. Developed as a competitor to NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, the program combined celebrity interviews and entertainment with discussions of political and social issues and extensive participation by its studio audience. Crane conducted interviews from the middle of a theater-in-the-round studio using a long "shotgun" microphone that allowed him to move among audience members and involve them in discussions. Guests included Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert F. Kennedy, George Wallace, Ayn Rand, Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. The program failed to attract an audience comparable to Carson's and ABC removed Crane as host in February 1965. ABC reformatted the time slot as ABC's Nightlife, initially using a rotation of guest hosts. Crane later returned to Nightlife as a host in June 1965. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
