Is there a way to hook up my dell laptop to my television?

I have a Dell Inspiron 1200 notebook

and I want to hook it up to my television set so that I am able to watch things from my computer on my television. I have an older tv that has AC jacks and the cable input. Is that any possible way to make this happen
