Well, a TV makes a picture by sending a focused electron beam (a dot) flying across the screen.
When you turn it off and lose both vertical and horizontal deflection, the undeflected dot rests at the center for a moment -- I guess until the CRT heater cools off and the CRT stops emitting completely.
