The television screen on traditional TV's is called a "CRT", or cathode ray tube. Not all crt's are made rectangular. Some are round, especially older crt's, and some are square. The main concern is using a shape that will support the near total vacuum inside the crt (no "star" shaped crt's!) and of course, the viewing shape should be "pleasing" to the eye. That is why almost all monitor screens,wheather they are crt's or LCD's etc. , are rectangular now. Movie screens have always been rectangular! It simply is a matter of it being easy for the eye to view. Try looking at a "column" of numbers, and then look at a "line" of numbers. The "line" is far easier for the eye to evaluate, maybe because that is the way we are taught to read?
