No, a cracked LCD TV screen cannot be fixed. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Televisions are made from two sheets of glass or plastic, depending on the size of the screen. Plastic sheets can be used in screens of 30 inches or less. Sandwiched between these polarized sheets are matrix of liquid crystal cells, addressing electrodes, directors and patterned coloured filters. In short this is not your average pane of glass you can buy down at your local glaziers.
It may, however, depending on your own level of technical proficiency and with the correct equipment, be possible to remove the broken or cracked screen in its entirety and then fitting a new one after sourcing a replacement. To source a replacement is relatively easy, you could get in touch with the display manufacturer and request a new one to be sent out, although this is a very expensive method of replacing your screen.
The alternative is to search around internet auction websites for broken LCD TV sets with fully functioning screens. Then it’s just a simple case of unscrewing the casing, carefully removing the frame, disconnecting any cables from the broken display, changing the screen, reconnect the cables to the new LCD screen and replacing the screws, remembering of course to have disconnected the television from the power supply before attempting the procedure.
Once the TV has been reconnected and switched on, it would be prudent to take some measures to try and avoid such a costly and potentially unnecessary repair again, and with prevention being preferable, and a lot cheaper to the cure, investing in a LCD or Plasma TV Screen protector could be a wise decision.

Once flat screens have been cracked severely there really is no point in repairing it. The cost of repairs might equal to the amount of a brand new tv. Now if you have a monster TV which you paid thousands for, thats a different story.  But let me just tell you in advance It is not a cheap fix.  Better off upgrading to new tv set

Probably but it would be cheaper to buy a new tv.  also, next time, read the warning that comes up before every game starts.... Make sure you have a lot of space AND ATTACH THE WII REMOTE STRAP FIRMLY TO YOUR WRIST
