The bulb likely lit full brightness and the TV set not at all , correct ?
Your TV draws what , 300 to 400 watts , give or take a watt or few ? You will need light bulbs up to around 300 or 400 watts worth for the TV to get enough power to begin to show life . Doing this with bulbs is easy if you get 4 sockets and wire them in parallel , and then wire that parallel bank of sockets in series with the load , as you now have your single bulb . This way , and using an assortment of common 100 , 75 , and even 50 watt bulbs , you can slowly up the current by screwing in more and higher power bulbs till the desired current is reached .
