Sounds to me like you may have cats or pets of some kind. Hair from cats (or dogs) sometimes ends up inside the vents of a television. Static Electricity is the culprit for most sparks or jumps of electricity within an electronic system. Your television may need an extensive cleaning, (usually blown out with compressed air) and then some components, circuit boards or complete wire harnesses may need to be replaced.
The best way to keep this from happening in the future, is to keep any pets out of the TV room as much as possible. Hair from cats can almost always find it's way into computerized equipment, so annual cleaning by a reputable serviceman is normal maintenance. Also, any fluids, such as drinks or plants should never be anywhere around electronic components such as your TV or computers.
