Why is something "in" a movie but "on" a TV show

What's up with that? You would never say "Tim Allen was in Home Improvement or that Tom Hanks was on Forrest Gump.
And what about series that are released online? Is it on Stranger Things or in Stranger Things?

Television is a Real thing which has a physical existence and can be seen by your eyes.
Movie , on the other hand , is not a physical thing.
So, if someone sees you “on” TV, that means you are on the screen of their TV. But in movie, you have acted and were included in the star cast in the movie and people are gonna watch it in the theater “on” the screen of the theater.

Why do you "take" a shite instead of "make" a shite?

an actor can be IN a movie and the movie can be ON TV.

Why do we drive on parkways and park in driveways?

You can be in a tv show or have been in a movie. Movie’s are always past tense while currently running tv shows are are present tense.
As for on tv, the tv is the medium. You’re on tv, just like one is on the silver screen, or on stage.

That doesn't work. The show is just as much "in" the TV as it is "on" the screen. When you look at a photograph of Bob, you don't say Bob is on the photo, you say he is in the photo. A photo is a physical thing just like a TV.

Because theater is art, movies are life, and television is furniture.

Why are they called "apartments" when they're all stuck together?
