Also some of the backstory really isn't needed because it fails to make the character have any depth. I mean sure someone's childhood is ok, but what they did on some imaginary ninja mission? Bleh.
Naruto's animation quality is low. Thats all there is too it really. In comparison to anime at this time, naruto is on the low end of the spectrum. There are a lot of things that blatantly stand out here, like the generic flashing background during "action", the lack of any real facial movement while talking, especially on the mouth.(and they talk a LOT),and probably most striking thing is that the majority of the show looks like its been done in MS paint.
-Also it doesn't matter that you have a 1080i HD tv, naruto only runs at one setting and i do not believe anything of the show has ever been released in HD or Blue ray outside of the movie. If you think naruto looks great as is, I encourage you to watch anime like Hellsing OVA, redline, or maybe even Kara no Kyoukai if you can find it. (all in blu-ray or HD for your tv).
