I'm guessing you're talking about interlacing?
I've never really experienced it because I've always watched PAL which doesn't have that.
But I would have thought it would be perceived as flashing at 60 Hz with a darker image?
PAL had interlacing
For anyone this deep on the thread, check out this video (great presenter!) explaining TV spectrum allocation, NTSC, PAL, and the origin of 29.97 fps.

TIL NTSC: He explained that NTSC stands for Not The Smartest Choice, but I always assumed it meant Never The Same Color.
Memories shattered. Yeah, you're right and I would have watched interlaced broadcast content.
I saw interlaced NTSC video in the digital days where the combing was much more obvious and always assumed it was only an NTSC thing!
