Anyone seen this? It's on The Learning Channel or TLC.

This could be a joke or a train wreck.

I've seen the previews, and while in itself it looks like a good show, the fact that it has Palin as host ruins it. Perhaps if she hadn't passed laws allowing the shooting of animals from helicopters, her hosting a show about the natural wonders of Alaska wouldn't be so ironic

I also noticed in one of the previews, her telling her daughter Willow not to take any boys upstairs to her room. Perhaps she should have tried that 3 years ago with her first daughter Bristol

Other then that, looks fun.

If she gets attacked by a bear, I might watch it. Otherwise I'll watch Over Alaska instead.

5 Million Americans watched episode 1. I don't it will hang onto these numbers.

Some scenic shots were quite nice, but otherwise, I found it quite boring. Too much time wasted on non-events: baking cupcakes with daughters; flying to a glacier only to turn back because of poor weather; Palin having a difficult time climbing over crevices on Mt. Mackinley (sp?) Shots of fighting bears quite interesting though, but otherwise, the show drags considerably.

I thought they should have called it "Sarah Palin's Seeing Russia from Alaska".

I watched it for about 2 minutes because I was wondering what it was. I couldn't make it any longer than that.

Now if they did a reality show with George Bush, I would watch that.

 

[Dalek Prime]

Is the show a black comedy, or straight-up horror?

 

[artthe1]

Hey Dalek:

I'd have to say both. Check out this comment: "This show is soo stupid.. She works so hard to make herself look like a normal mom.. and doesn't realize it will hurt her politically." Will it hurt her?

and "She's an over-privileged woman who thinks she can be a TV star and a politician. Green eye'd and greedy."

I agree having her as host ruins it. But it should be good for a couple of laughs, right?
Can't wait to read more of your thoughts.

Great review by the Globe.

Sarah Palin’s Alaska is gloriously awful TV but it succeeds in its mission – it expands the Palin brand. It reinforces her position as an authentic figure and will make some people believe that the U.S. would be lucky to have her in the White House. Cockamamie TV, but mission accomplished. Wow!

 

[james99]

I'm trying to watch this. Boy,it's hard. She has the most annoying voice on tv.

Can't believe she's bitching about her neighbour. Moron.

 

[MikeRo]

It's probably a sign that TLC has hit absolute rock bottom.

 

[cooper83]

Actually, I bet many Americans watching the show have just now learned that Alaska is a state.

 

[Dalek Prime]

State!? What next? Hawaii!!?? Actually, the best show out of Alaska, presently, is "Ice Road Truckers". Lisa Rocks! That girl has moxie. As to Sarah Palin, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't really originate from New Mexico, circa, oh, say 1945.... (BOOM!)

P.S. Thanks artthe1, I aim to amuse, bemuse, befuddle... something like that, anyways...

 

[james99]

seems the Palin daughters got upset about the negative comments about the show:

[Dalek Prime]

Ah yes, such classy language...

 

[17671]

She's not funny anymore. She should cancel this show and go back to 30 Rock where shes much funnier.

 

[sleemo]

It worked for TLC...

Are you certain? Assumptions, as they say...

A man can't empty his shotgun into his tv anymore? What's this world coming to, james99?
