Did it have Google TVs home screen that has a bunch of ads on it? The breeder l newest version is atrocious.

You can put Google TV in apps-only mode, which helps significantly. It's not a perfect fix, but it's a step in the right direction.

For anyone else:

Turning on Apps only mode requires you to navigate to the Settings page from the home screen of your Chromecast or other Google TV device, then select Accounts & Sign In. From there, tap your profile and enable Apps only mode.
