I have recently purchased an IMac and was wanting to use it as my tv is this possible? If so what do I need to use to do this? I was also considering trying to connect my Wii to the IMac is this possible?

Any help would be great!!

You can connect the Wii to the iMac ONLY if it's a 27" iMac, using a converter like this one:
Atlona :: Products :: Converters & Scalers :: Converters with DisplayPort & Mini DisplayPort output :: Atlona DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter
or this one:
Belkin AV360™ Mini DisplayPort Converter for 27"iMac F2CD007

For TV, these guys are by far the best - their software is second to none:
Elgato - North America
