Sure, as your TV did. Whether flicker was *so bad* on those old CRTs, that's a different story.

New monitors with thinner scanlines have better definition but for the same reason, interlaced modes flicker more. Some old monitors just don't display good interlaced modes, it's like if both fields didn't fit properly. Some users also reported the Radeon X series to provide nicer looking interlaced modes than the HD 4xxx cards. Finally, you can reduce the apparent flicker quite a lot, at the cost of loosing sharpness, by using the -filter option for these games.
