I've had my HD TV for about 5 days now and I miss SD. Most of the channels I watch are in SD and they look blurry and awful. I also dislike playing me Wii on this thing. I can't get a setting where Wii Sports Resort and New Super Mario Bros. Wii don't look so pale and jagged.

What kind of TV do you have? Certain brands are known for shipping with rubbish presets.  My parents got a 32 inch Samsung a couple of weeks ago and I had to go into the service menu to make the necessary adjustments. It's worth doing a Google search and seeing if you can find some recommended settings. I wouldn't follow them to the letter but often they are a good starting point. 

 

It's a 46" Insignia.

I'm not familiar with that particular TV but if it's bothering you try to do a Google search for recommended settings.

You should be aware though that in certain parameters such as contrast, blacks and natural looking colours, CRTs (which I assume you were using before) are still better than most LCDs.

Also I am assuming you are using component cables and have your Wii set to 480p. (increased clarity but with the side effect that it unmasks the jaggies a little)

Yes, I'm using component cables for my Wii and according to my Wii, it's set on 480p(SDTV).
