HDTV's are interlaced... Its just not as noticable because there are about 1100 lines of resolution or so compared to ntsc 525. In the tv world you need interlacing to create 2 fields per frame for smooth framerate, it mimics film, you have two fields per frame (you actually see the same frame twice on film) without that, everything will be jerky.
