I would like to move the Tv show folder to an external HD. Can I do this without moving the entire iTunes music folder?

I would like to move the TV Shows folder from my iMac's HD to an external HD to free up some space. Can I do this without moving the entire iTunes Library folder? If so, can my other devices like iPads and Apple TV find the moved TV shows folder?

All kinds of things are possible with iTunes, but few of them are easy.  Yes, you can isolate TV shows on a different drive.  The degree of complexity depends upon how much work and learning you are interested in doing.  The easiest solution is to delete them all from iTunes but do not let iTunes delete the actual media files.  Then go to the folder where TV shows are located and copy that folder to a different drive.  Now hold down the option key and drag them back to iTunes so it adds them again.  Using the option key means the file doesn't get copied to iTunes' main media folder.  However, since these are being added as new files it means you risk losing some information entered about them such as personal ratings, date added, date last played, etc.  There are ways of retaining this data but that's where you really have to learn how to do workarounds with iTunes.
I have never seen an AppleTV, nor used an iPhone but my understanding is these devices do not directly use the files, they do so through iTunes.  As long as the entries can be found in iTunes then they should be accessible by other devices.
