TV isn't usually filmed, it's videoed.  I'm not sure whether the flicker
on CRTs is primarily to do with the interlacing effect of video or
simply the refresh rate and frame rate not matching (which is what I've
always assumed).  But, now that you point it out, I don't remember ever
seeing a CRT flickering on filmed material, only videoed, so it could be
an interlacing artefact after all.  (This is only based on my memory
though so may not actually be the case.)
