The same way it's done for movies. Shot on film or HD video, mastered in high-definition. Pretty much everything in prime time on the broadcast networks that's not animated, a news program, or a reality show (with even a few exceptions for those) is in high-definition.

Sure. A number of traditionally animated Disney films have aired in high-definition, for instance, and Voom has a channel called Animania that shows nothing but cartoons in HD.

The Simpsons isn't produced in high-definition. You're watching an upconvert.

Just because you're watching the "HD" version of a channel doesn't mean the program is in HD. Many times you're still watching the SD feed.
