The electrolytics may get unhappy, but the goop may act like antifreeze to keep the water from freezing.

Don't forget that TVs likely sat in cold warehouses, freight trains in winter near Frostbite Falls MN, and in trucks there too. So sets had to be designed to take it. Not necessarily powered up and take it, but just take it while off.
