As someone else pointed out, you are trying to play interlaced video on a progressive display. It's not tearing you see, but "combing." You need to deinterlace before you can play back. With mplayer, use something like -vf pp=lb or pp=l5. In point of fact, you should apply inverse telecine to something like The Simpsons, rather than deinterlacing. Deinterlacing is a destructive process, and you want to avoid doing it on content that's just been pulled down from 24fps. Your best bet would be to use Xine and plug one of the tvtime deinterlacers (GreedyH is quite good, but has stiff CPU requirements), since it will automatically either pullup or deinterlace based on the video.
