What's On Tonight (Tuesday): Let There Be a Light Fight

 

Via Conserv.

Tonight's Top Picks is The Great Christmas Light Fight, which wraps its season with a two-hour finale next Tuesday. Yes, and so does The Voice, so no points in figuring out what gets Top Pick on that day.


While I make my usual humbuging about utility bills and/or light polution, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, Dec. 12. All times are EST.
