Does 30p look noticeably different than 60i when displayed on CRT televesion?

I know that when 30p footage is displayed on a standard CRT televesion, it gets pulldown applied and becomes an interlaced signal... my question then, is, does 30p look noticeably different than 60i on a CRT interlaced TV? Or only on computer monitors or an HDTV screen?


And, if it does, how and why?
 
Yes it looks different. There are only 30 motion samples per second as opposed to the 60 motion samples you get from 60i. I find it a great balance for a lot of corporate and event type photography where 24p might be a little to much "look."

Interlaced should be banned.
 
On an interlaced CRT (like a CRT TV) the only real difference is smoother motion on 60i footage. The dealbreaker is this: 30p works well on multiple output formats, 60i does not.
 
It's actually 60i that works well on multiple output formats; 30p does not.

Also, besides smoother motion, another pronounced difference is that 30p does not have interlace motion artifacts. (Displaced images between odd and even fields.)

And there is no "pulldown" per se from 30p to 60i, as it's a straight 1:2 conversion.
