Both "in a TV show" and "on a TV show" are grammatical, but "on" is a little more common in US English.

@NikozZ Sorry, I first thought this question was posted in the US culture section instead of the English language section, so I wanted to make sure that I answered the actual question you were asking.
Here's the original reply:
The history of American Chinese food is very interesting. Many of those recipes are over 150 years old, from when Chinese immigrants came to California to work during the 1848 Gold Rush. They created new recipes using American ingredients, since it was difficult to import ingredients from China and most white Americans thought Chinese food was too exotic and strange.
