You need a simple adapter to do it. You just need to get the right one. Apple makes a bunch of them that connect to the micro DVI port of your computer. They come in many flavors of output - HDMI, VGA, DVI, Video, etc.

This one is typical, it has RCA and S-Video out.

Once you have this connected to your TV, you go to System Preferences=>Displays to set it up.
