I'm using my TV as a monitor to watch movies on my laptop, which is running 13.04, and I was wondering: how I can make it show my laptops screen on both my TV and laptop?

What you are looking for is Mirroring:
- Click your user in the upper right corner of your screen.
- Click System Settings.
- Type
display
and hit enter. - Make sure the TV is connected
- There should be a tick button that says "Mirror Display", activate it.
Now you should read this answer in both your TV and the Laptop Monitor.

Great answer! But between step 4 and 5 should be another step. Something like: There should be a button that says "Detect Displays", click on it. Mar 30, 2014 at 16:50
Install arandr. Then run it. Place both desktops in the same space, covering each other. :) If looking for a command line alternative, use xrandr.
