Resurfacing?

When I was in Cumberland, MD on the Capitol Limited, heading west on our trip to Alaska (so we're talking Monday, August 17 here--I'm writing this on the 18th in Chicago but not posting it immediately), I wanted to access the Internet. There's free WiFi that you can access from the train in Cumberland, so I took advantage of that.

Well, when I completed the now required sign-up page (which seriously limited what I could do online, since that took time and the train's schedule didn't give me much to begin with, and which also made it look like it might not be free next time we pass through, but that's another matter), up popped an ad for "Surface" available on iTunes.

Why on Earth would they advertise a short lived show from so long ago? Was it a new offereing when they WiFi system was set up (they had a copyright date of "2007-2009")? Or has "Surface" developed a cult following that I'm unaware of? Or something else? That one just mystifies me...
