The Great Christmas Light Fight

When my kids were young we had them in a small daycare in a small town in New Hampshire. There was nothing special about the daycare other than it had some Disney characters painted on the side of the building. Then one day we came there and the characters were painted over because the owners had received a letter from the Disney legal department warning them about copyright infringement, with a warning to remove them or else. Disney is famous for vigorously protecting their copyrights.

Fast forward many years to season 9 of The Great Light Fight. After watching 2 amazing light displays we see a house that is entirely decorated in a (very lame by comparison to the other displays) Disney theme. How in the world were they allowed to get away with that?? Oh wait, ABC is owned by Disney so just like many of their other programs they have to chuck in a Disney promotion. It was a good reminder of why I so rarely watch ABC any more.

In this show they do not give it to the best house. For example, I just watched one where it was basically a carnival more than anything. They even described it as an "amusement park". But nothing, I mean? 0% of it was related to Christmas and yet that house won. It's not a good show. Along with the host (which kind of has to do this) is saying the same thing for every house like it's unique even when it's not. Do not waste your life. Life is short and please don't waste it on a tv show that doesn't even judge the winner by the criteria. SAVE YOURSELVES!

Went from a good show that judged people on there christmas light set-up, to a show about peoples life stories. Its called the great christmas light fight because of the lights. not because of the persons life story.

The two hosts get everyone's hopes up by telling them they will be hard to beat and they don't end up winning.

The episode I am watching now, they are inside someones house! that has nothing to do with christmas light display. Show went downhill really quick.

Stick with the first two seasons and do yourself a favor and stop there

While I really like this idea, I just can't in good conscience support or promote a show that applauds the waste of resources by some when so many others cannot afford to heat their home or have power. This makes me sad, really. In order for me to actually appreciate something like this the prize would need to be a donation to organizations that help people with affording utilities.

They shouldn't allow the usage of computers or any other kind of electronics for the display of lights,and just use lights like the way it used to be...It's gotten to the point that your not looking at what Christmas lights display is all about... The show use to be so much better when it first started,compared to the show's now...
