Lame displays of light entertainment (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

game shows

'light entertainment' is the definition.

'lame displays' is the wordplay.
'lame' becomes 'game' ('game' can describe a permanently injured leg).
'displays' becomes 'shows' ('show' can be a synonym of 'display').
'game'+'shows'='GAME SHOWS'

'of' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
