Your new TV only ruins them if it's running with the 120hz or 240hz smoothing interpolation turned on. Chances are, you turned that off as soon as you set your television up, just like I did. There's no question that 24fps film looks awful using these gimmicks. The real question is will film running at a higher rate (like 48fps) will also look bad? I know that the show The Event seems to be filmed at a higher frame rate (it looks like it was filmed in Video rather than Film) and it is disconcerting to watch. It actually makes the acting look bad, which I don't think it would otherwise seem. However, like 3D, it's now a gimmick that it is included on so many sets that you almost have to go out of your way to avoid buying one that has them.
