Surge protectors are not designed to protect against a current surge into a device when it is turned on...they protect against very short duration high voltage tranisent pulses on the power line.
I agree it is not a good idea to run reduced voltage to a TV, you will not have enough horizontal drive signal and can damage the flyback. The best precaution against power supply failure is to replace the power supply diodes and filter caps in the set with new ones and make sure you have an appropriate sized fuse on the AC line.
