What resolution are the TV shows from iTunes?

If I were to Download House, what resolution are they? Are they good enough to watch on my computer?

I have a feeling that they would run on your computer.

The TV shows are 640x480 resolution, officially. The previews are the same resolution as the downloaded show so take a gander at a preview and see if it's good enough for you.

So I'm sorry I'm being ignorant, but... are shows like House still coming in a 4:3 format, or are they in 720x404 or whatever 16:9 resolution?

I don't know about House but some shows are in a widescreen format. However, the width (640 pixels) is the "max" so a widescreen show will be something like 640x360
