No, a normal television does is not capable of producing differently polarised pictures for left and right eyes.
The only method for using a normal televsion-type device for full colour 3D images is using glasses with alternating shutters and screens that are fast enough to show alternating left- right-images.
Two other technologies that you can use are physically having separate screens for left and right, but these tend to be tiny screens built into glasses. There are also screens with masks on them so left and right eyes get different images, if your directly in front of the screen.
3D is an interesting effect, but I believe it is only a theatrical trick and is unlikely to become mainstream. The effect is unreal, you do not sense distance just by stereoscopic vision, you also do it by understanding perspective and knowing where your eyes are focused.
Moreover in existing arts powerful 3D effects are frequently produced in 2D, for example theatrical stages are often not the shape you think they are and fairground sideshow type experiences often play with perspective to get powerful effects.
Artists flatten things. A portrait photographer will take a picture from a long distance not right up close. People who create 3D models of things tend not to be creating arts, they’re making railway sets, Star Trek dioramas, architectural models, nativity scenes, etc.
