I miss the old ways

There's an ad on the bottom of page 1 of today's Times.

And not one of those heartwarming ads they used to run: "BE MINE FOREVER. Darling, will you marry me? - ADVT" "HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY Grampa John. Love, Phil, Mary, Sue, and Bob. - ADVT" or the weekly fave: "JEWISH WOMEN/GIRLS: LIGHT Shabbos candles. In NYC, 4:53. In honor of Estelle Goldstein OBM. - ADVT"

No, this is a somewhat ugly and uninspired ad for a bunch of TV shows.
