You should all have UPSes for the important electronics in your houses. They stop surges and give limited power to enable you to turn them off without loosing data and the like.

Is it a conventional CRT TV rather than a new style Plasma LCD. If conventional, without getting too technical the light beams in a TV are controlled by elecrto magnets. During a power surge the voltage in the magnets can change messing up the colours, usually at the corners. Modern CRT TVs have a reset called a DeGauss that corrects this again when you turn on the TV, which is probably what happened once the power stabilised. Same effect happens if you put a Magnet ie unsheiled speaker, too close to a TV.

The TV may be trying to come out of the closet. Be nice.
