I've got a flat screen TV I want to mount on the wall. I'd like to plug it
into a surge protector on the floor, but don't want to run wires down from
the TV. How are most folks doing this? I know you're not suppose to run an
extension cord behind the drywall, even if it's an inside wall that's not
insulated.

Suggestions?

You can have an electrician (or you can do it if you know how to) install an
outlet behind the TV. Hopefully, your set has a little room to get a small
surge protector behind it. If not, maybe the electrician can give you some
guidance on how to have surge protection in the wall for that new outlet.
