Not sure about any standard broadcasts of 3D (assuming) for use with LCD goggles here in the USA, but the short bit I saw on TV did NOT require any sort of glasses -

1. NO to the Red / Blue type
2. NO to the LCD goggles
3. NO to some other 'passive' type similar to the Red / Blue stiff paper type but with greyish transmittance of light.
   
   I think one episode of "3rd Rock From the Sun" had an episode or two that used the Grey-lensed paper type.

What I saw looked like you were looking at everything as if it were submerged in water WRT the wavy light bending effect. Still incredibly cool.
