Q: How do i get my macbook pro screen on the tv?

Very Easy,

Grab a Mini-DP/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter (link for Apple Store one, but Amazon is fine)

Or here for a cheaper version;

For this, I grabbed a 10ft HDMI cable from Monoprice for under $5 that works great.

When you have got the thunderbolt/HDMI adapter, go into System preferences, Display, select Arrangement and click Mirror display. Go back and then select Sound, Output and click HDMI cable

All your Icons etc will be on the TV.
