i have very little interest at this point in watching vlogs on a television, regularly.

if a vlog reaches a persons TV, yeah its still a vlog.
if the vlog is scratched (blog post/media permalinks, RSS and commenting) and instead their is just a video feed (RSS and Video stored on server), then no, thats not a vlog.
both of these can make it to a TV for viewing, but one is not a vlog... their needs to be a blog+rss to be a vlog ;-) 
i think a blog must provide permalinks, which can be permalinks of posts where media is referenced, or permalinks of the media itself, with metadata and description etc... 

a videoblog is the site which houses the media and an RSS feed (feed can be provided by 3rd party like feedburner).
a videoblog doesnt necessarily need to have enclosures (my opinion), but if it does, i tend to refer to that as a videoblog's vodcast.

the video itself can be anything... it can be a personal video diary or a zany show like http://thisorthat-video.blogspot.com/

the medium that we use is obviously not restricted to video... audioblogs/podcasts and photoblogs  and text blogs all  can use the same technologies.

I also like to not forget about the logical approach of rich media blogging... where one blog contains mixed media. 
a term to descibe generalized multimedia in blogs has barely been discussed... but it is basically mediacasting or mediablogging.
Clint was called a a podcast session that he captured on video as a hybridcast...

TV doesnt change anything.  TV set-top boxes will be able to grab internet media using a variety of methods and technologies.
videoblogs are one source.

thanks to everyone for your responses so far on the topic of vlogs as
art. some interesting thoughts on the matter are being raised.
vlogging as art is a subject i have been hashing around for a while on
my blog and in discussions with video artists.

a good point was raised about what happens when the vlog post is
viewed in a different context, ie: a show at an art gallery. does the
video need to be seen in the context for which it was made in order
for it to maintain it's "vloginess"? i think, perhaps, it does.

i,too, enjoy the intimate size of the viewing window and the
one-to-one feeling vlogs inspire. while many people may be viewing the
same vlogs as i am, i am able to have a direct, one-to-one
relationship with the video maker. i am able to respond to the video
with a video of my own and link to the original piece. i am part of a
dialogue. i retain my individuality in a way that a television
audience does not.

i wonder, as the  structure of video on the internet continues to
expand, if the tv model will become more prevelant and makers will
scrap the blog model and use feedreaders and directories as a sole
means of distributing their video. is it still a vlog if there is no
link to a "home"? will the nature of vlogging change from
intercommunication to spectatorship? when broadcasting networks make
their own online video shows, will they be vlogs or will they be tv on
the internet and does it matter?
