They say that 16mm it's not enough for 1080p, or at least not worth it BUT for what I see a lot of current shows broadcast in HD are still shot on 16mm, I'm saying this because to my eyes they look "filmic" (not digital) and I kinda doubt it's 35mm. For example The Middle (ABC) and Eastwick (ABC) look 16mm to me.

Actually most weekly drama or comedy TV shows, on broadcast anyways, are shot on 35mm. Chuck is the only one I can think of that is shot on 16mm (on the big 4 networks). It looks like the new series of Scrubs is on 35mm to me.
I thought ABC Studios shot most of its productions on 3-perf 35mm, however it seems they are using 2-perf 35mm to save a few bucks. Thats probably why many of their dramas (especially Grey's Anatomy IMO) have an inferior look.

Friends and Seinfeld were shot on 4-perf 35mm on Panavision lenses BTW.
