There are three main TV connections:
Composite
Component
HDMI
Composite and component use analog signals (composite is red & white for audio, yellow for video; component is red, green and blue for video, and two more plugs for audio) ; HDMI uses digital. Most newer TVs will have one set of component plugs for INPUT (from VCR, DVD, game console, etc.). Less often, they may have one component OUTPUT (to headphones, speakers, etc.). Rarely do they have a composite INPUT, and almost never do they have a composite OUTPUT.
If there is a component OUTPUT, then you can pick up a simple composite female to component male cord and connect your headphones that way (the TV is already converting the digital signal to analog in this situation).
If there is not a component OUTPUT, then you have to get a digital to analog converter (such as Dakota98's link). Otherwise, you have to buy an expensive set of digital headphones.
