Sarah Palin to appear in 8-part documentary on TLC testing captions (CNN) - Former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will appear in a new eight-part documentary series on the TLC network, parent company Discovery Communications said Thursday. The show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska," will be "about the remarkable Governor Palin and her home state of Alaska," the Discovery statement said. Its executive producer will be Mark Burnett, who previously was executive producer for "Survivor" and "the Apprentice." "Discovery Communications is so excited to help Sarah Palin tell the story of Alaska, and to have a great documentary filmmaker in Mark Burnett helping to reveal Alaska's powerful beauty as it has never been filmed, and as told by one of the state's proudest daughters," Peter Liguori, chief operating officer of Discovery Communications, said in the statement. "We are confident 'Sarah Palin's Alaska' will be another compelling television event," said Eileen O'Neill, TLC president and general manager, in the statement. Discovery Communications did not specify a date for the series premiere. Mark Burnett Productions previously co-produced "Eco-Challenge" for Discovery Channel from 1996 through 1999, according to the statement. Burnett was quoted in the statement as saying Palin has "a dynamic personality that has captivated millions ... I can't think of anyone more compelling than Sarah Palin to tell the story of Alaska." Variety reported on Tuesday the former Republican vice presidential nominee will likely nab $1 million an episode for the program. |

Can't wait to watch...
This is the WORST idea ever... she bailed on her government duties, travels the country spreading anger and discord, and now she is going to get a bazillion dollars to parade around in the homes of america, spreading her message of close mindedness to millions of viewers... It is the worst thing to happen to TV since NBC tried Supertrain (look it up)... I would never wish ill of someone, but if they could film her getting mauled by a moose or something on camera, then I'd watch that!!
Ambience....I understand she won't be using a teleprompter. However, they have hired a fellow with exceptionally large hands to stand just within viewing range. Word is they can fit a whole page on each hand!
Is there anything this woman won't do or say for money???
BTW, does she get to use a te-le-prom-ter on this show? You betcha!
For those of you who still view Palin as a breath of fresh air and Miss Honesty incarnate, you might want to visit this link. Read the whole article. In it you will note how amply she rewarded friends and campaign donors with very well-paying positions in her administration here in Alaska. Didn't matter whether they were qualified or not; just how much money they gave her campaign.
http://articles.latimes.com/2008/oct/24/nation/na-palinrecords24
Favorite daughter???? You apparently have not asked true Alaskans. She quit for her own self promotion.
Well she sure knows how to make the world work out for her. Running for Vice President and making a fool of herself was probably the best thing that could've ever happened to her. Gotta give her credit...there are a lot of idiots out there but she figured out how to get paid to be one.
She's made a joke of herself, her family and Alaska. The worst of it is, she doesn't even realize it. It's all about $$$$$$$$$
Why on earth would TLC talk to Sarah Palin? It's not like she's has a wealth of knowledge inside that brain of hers. Didn't she quit being governor of her own state, didn't she lose the election, didn't get her degree from community college in something other than politics? Sounds like this interview should have been conducted by FIXED News , I mean FoxNews.

Sarah Palin is the most ridiculous politician I have ever seen.
She trys to encourage people to "Take back America"....and if her party did take back America, what would they do with it? They had 8 years.
They don't have anything they can brag or boast about, as far as what they have done for our country; they have no opinions or game plans; so the only thing they can do is try to knock down the opposition.
Obama started to tackle issues the day he was elected. He has pushed forward in the midst of the Republicans refusal to assist. He gave them every chance for their voices to be heard regarding healthcare, but the only voice from them we heard was "no".
McCain even made the comment after the bill was passed "We will not support anything Obama puts on the table in the future". What does that tell you? It doesn't matter what good Obama does for the American people, it is already decided they will be against it.
Republicans are sore losers. Watching them on television, I see a party who is not just against democrats but against democracy and a united front. They make their decisions based on politics alone; without regard for what is best for those less fortunate. They are arrogant and shallow.
Now Sarah Palin wants a reality show and is asking one million dollars an episode. Now there's a lady interested in the suffering of children and the concerns of the middle class.
If this keeps Palin out of politics for even a short while, then I'm all for her doing the series!
Betcha she Quits !
$1 million per episode sounds way over the top for Palin. That is in the league of Aniston, and I just don't see Palin drawing in the audience needed to justify that kind of salary.
It will probably be a hit, but I can see this as an opportunity for Democrats to get their panties in a bunch and whine.
Sarah Palin: worthless woman! Does this reality show show her penis?
BTW.....you might want to Google her tenure in office as the mayor of Wasilla. Check on some of the tactics she used in smearing her opponents in running for the office. She is quoted as saying after her election how good it is that Wasilla will have a Christian running the place. She alluded to her opponent as being Jewish during the campaign. Somehow that made him less than qualified in her eyes. What was ironic about that is he is a Lutheran and she knew it but his last name was "Stein"....
You might also want to check on how once she got into that office somehow she "convinced" the Wasilla assembly to change the property covenants for her house so she could do some remodeling. Apparently, no one else had been able to get similar requests approved on their properties at the time.
Then there is the matter of Bristol's pregnancy. You know who broke that little news item to the national press? Dear Sarah. Seems some bloggers were claiming that her own baby, Trig (if I recollect the name and I could be wrong) was actually the child of one of her daughters and she was saying it was hers to cover that up. No one really put any credence in that but Sarah had to protect her public image as v.p. candidate and so she let it be known Bristol was pregnant, thereby proving Trig was her own child. And a new definition of "sleazy" was born.
Then there is the matter of her having her water break while she was campaigning in the Lower '48. As any medical professional and any mother will tell you, when the water breaks you head to the nearest hospital. Sarah, though, got on a jet and took 13 hours to fly back up here where she could have the baby. Who knows what damage that did to a child already suffering from Down's Syndrome? But you know what? By doing so she was able to collect the Permanent Fund Dividend check for the baby for his first year, something she could not have done had he been born in the Lower '48. That was an extra $1300 in her pocket.
Yeah...she's a real model of motherhood and American apple pie, that Sarah is....
As the young lady who played a girl with Down's Syndrome on "Family Guy" said when Sarah got into a hissy fit about the character, said young lady is also a Down's Syndrome child and she figured she is better qualified than Sarah to judge how to respond to the situation in the world of tv. She also mentioned how even she knows better than to carry her baby around like a loaf of bread.
I noticed that shut the Divine Palin up right quickly. (Thank heavens something does!)
Sarah Palin talking about Alaska in TLC network? What next? Her oldest daughter (teenage mother of a child out of wedlock) talking about sex at home? It is just another reason why I do not have cable or Fios all these years and will have those services anytime in the future. TLC is at lost. All cable subscribers should never watch the TLC channel for Sarah palin show and demand a partial refund from their cable service companies. Seeing Sarah palin is a curse. It is that simple!
"Remarkable" Sarah Palin is an oxymoron. Heavy on the moron.
What a bunch of ignorant comments by a number of very ignorant people!
I love how the "left" defends free speech. Right up to the point someone takes an opposing point of view. What do you do then? Do you engage in open policy debate. No, you resort to personal attacks and try to demean. Talk about "hate" speach. Suggest you go back and read some of the negative comments and personal attacks. Nice.
As for "hate" speech, I challenge you to give one example of where Palin advocated violence.
What a bunch of losers. Suggest you go get an education, get a job and get a life!
wow....it's just TV folks....get a life

...watch the show to see the beautiful state of Alaska.....
Drushsean...I realize the actual truth about Sarah may shatter your image of her carefully cultivated in what you so accurately described as a "novel", a novel being a fictional piece of work. But I had to live under her governorship. Every day I picked up the paper and read about some lunacy on her part, some grand scheme that sounds terrific and never goes anywhere. Every winter's start the paper would blare out a headline that the "Wolf Killing Season Begins" and all those brave souls would overfly the wolves and shotgun them from the air or run them to exhaustion, land and shoot them. All the while Sarah would be waxing poetic (if you can call it that) about how she loved the wilderness and respected the wildlife and just so loved Alaska.
Chances are you've never seen ANWR, have you? I have. And I've seen what even just walking over the ground can do to it. A few years ago some idiots illegally drove their 4WD's off the road onto the tundra and got them stuck miles from the only road, the Dalton Highway. It took them months and several thousands of dollars to haul them out and the ruts they made will just get deeper and deeper each spring thaw. Palin doesn't mind the thought of exploration activity and drilling in such incredibly fragile habitat. She just wanted the money to come in. The Native groups around ANWR do not want it open. But Sarah wasn't about to listen to them.
Well, her big claim to fame up here is the gas pipeline. To listen to her describe it, Alaska is right on the verge of a second major boom and we will all be rolling in money. And Sarah is the reason why.
Problem is....it ain't gonna happen. There are now three gas lines running to the Lower '48 from elsewhere and the market for our gas is gone. We missed our chance because in part Sarah didn't do her work as governor and her replacement didn't, either. And we had a Legislature that dropped the ball and with whom Sarah was at war by the time she quit.
So her legacy on the gas line is all in her mind. I'll gladly pay you $100 for every foot of pipeline that has been laid according to her plans. (I won't be losing a dime on that offer.)
In today's Fairbanks Daily News-Miner is an article quoting our outgoing University of Alaska president, Mark Hamilton. He's done a terrific job as university president, is a retired general, has garnered a lot of respect from both sides of the political aisle. And his parting words are that we had better not pin our hopes on the gas line because it is a rapidly fading star.
Sarah can proclaim herself the savior of Alaska all she wants in her "novel" about herself. The truth is she did very little and what little she did was too little and too late.
Why do you think she quit and is selling herself to Hollywood?
Can anyone explain to me why she is getting more money per episode the Jerry Seinfeld did as actor, writer, and producer of his show? More then the cast of "Friends" or "CSI"?
Can anyone honestly say this is anything but a back-handed "loop-hole" type deal to funnel money into her upcoming campaign?
I guess we should have seen something like this coming when a far-right wing corporation (Advanced Publications) bought out the station....
...featuring wolf slaughters from helicopters? No thanks TLC .. not interested in Sarah's visions of Alaska.
And to the guy complaining that Sarah "raped" her states natural resources. If we didn't use them then they wouldn't be resources would they?
You haters are just jealous. All you can do is whine and scoff about this? Get a life.
TLC is going to have their highest rated show ever and Sarah's going to be laughing all the way to the bank!
You betcha!!
Remember when TLC used to be know as The Learning Channel, and they had shows that were educational and family friendly? What happened? If Sarah Palin was remarried to a midget, had 20 kids, and one of them baked cakes, and one of them was addicted to drugs, and they all were hoarders, then decided to remodel the house after the hoarding...then it would be the "best" show on TLC.
I'm all for this show. I'm really hoping to see her run in 2012. Both for the comedy of it all, as well as the fact that she's a guaranteed 2nd term for Obama. More opportunities for her to make scripted, well produced, media appearances make it less likely for her to remind everyone how much of an idiot she is.
Oh wow! We will get to see her kill wolves from airplanes as she laughs and loads her guns. We will get to see the animal dying in agony as the plane travels on shooting other defenseless animals. That will be so great for the "kiddies" to watch. Then she can smile and lie about loving Alaska because she quit as Governor. What a treat....but it will have to be someone's else that watches. No Discovery Channel for my family!
A great reason not to watch TLC. They are no longer interested in offering quality product but are now on par with the "Jersey Shore" type programs. I don't need to watch a show with a nacasistic former governor who doesn't know how to prperly use the English language.
i'm an Alaskan. Alaskans don't want her
Sorry, Thekid...it just goes to show what happens when you don't actually live in Alaska but feel you are an expert on Sarah Palin. The very first ethics charge about her per diem stuck and stuck hard to the tune of several thousands of dollars she had to pay back.
Up until Sarah, all of our governors upon election moved to Juneau and lived in the governor's mansion. It was provided as a benefit of taking the office. Sarah didn't want to move to Juneau so she stayed in her house in Wasilla and commuted (in a nice, expensive state-bought car) to Anchorage each day she worked. What she also did was charge the state per diem for staying in her own house. When that violation was brought to the attention of the courts she lost the case and had to repay several thousands of dollars in per diem payback.
She also lost a case where she kept hauling her family along on expensive (for us Alaskans) trips, letting the state pay for their food, lodgings, transportation as she claimed they were all "representing Alaska". Those expenses were eventually disallowed in most of the instances and she had to reimburse the state.
In the Troopergate case, while she wasn't found guilty of an ethics violation it was clear from the court decision she was teetering right on the very edge.
Next time you might want to do your homework rather than depend on what she had some ghostwriter put in her book. I would suggest you do searches on the Anchorage Daily News as an excellent source for this info; the Juneau Empire is also quite good.
I will watch it!!!
Why are liberals so angry at Sarah Palin?
She isn't the one who negotiated a massive government takeover of the private sector behind closed doors.
She isn't the one who bribed US Senators and Congressmen to get her unconstitutional agenda passed.
She isn't the one who has renigged on (almost) every promise made during the campaign.
She isn't the one creating unsustainalbe deficits that our children's children will have to deal with.
She isn't the one eroding your liberties.
She isn't the one who claims to know how to handle your medical care better than you do.
She isn't the one forcing every American to buy a product (health insurance), in direct violation of the Constitution.
"I can see Russia from my house!" – Sarah Palin never said that, Tina Fey did. Sarah Palin was responding to a question from ABC's Charlie Gibson about whether or not Alaska's proximity to Russia gave her an insight into Russia's actions surrounding the 2009 incident between Russia and Georgia. While Palin did state that there are areas in Alaska where one can see Russia from, she did not claim that she could see Russia from her house, nor did she claim that she has foreign policy experience because of Alaska's proximity to Russia.
Liberals have been terrified of Palin from day one.
If she is just some dumb bimbo from Alaska, why have liberals spent so much time, money, and energy on trashing her?
Liberals need to get with the picture, 62% of Americans support the Republicans continuing to to fight Obama care.
Last night's viewership #'s:
CNN – 457,000
Fox News – 1,391,000
The 'honorable' former half-a-term serving governor of Alaska is rather 'unremarkable'. She is a quitter: Six colleges, each attended for a couple semesters or so. A little stint in the town council of Wassila, then mayor, then an "unsuccessful campaign for Lieutenant Governor of Alaska (2002), she chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission from 2003 until she resigned in 2004.(another quitting job) If anything she is good at quitting (and of course hunting moose). Let's see how quickly she quits her TV show. Not much hearing from her FOX TV consulting job either. I would suggest, her record is thoroughly unremarkable. We'll leave it at that. Till in Oklahoma
She is definitely in it for the $$$$. I can't blame for taking advantage of the situation she was given. Hopefully she make a lot of $$$, then stay out of politics and eventually drop out of site. She does not have the intelligence to be President, much less a high ranking public official.
Since Geo Beach already did "Tougher in Alaska", It would be appropriate for her show to be called "Whiner in Alaska".
TLC is lucky to have her. If you don't like her don't watch.
I'm really disappointed in you TLC. I used to really like your shows, but they get freakier and freakier. I guess there's a market; why else would you do it. But this woman has done a lot to hurt America. Add me to the list of those who will never watch this channel again.
TLC .......... I hope you are paying attention to all of these comments......... for I shall be one who will watch the first show to see all of the SPONSORS and to mark them down....... after the show I will revamp my shopping list to exclude those who sponsor trash like this........ she is not representative of the Alaskan people or the state's splender....... They deserve better than this, it is a good premise but bad choice in host.......... sorry ..... I have watched many shows on Alaska and I am not sure just what Sarah Palin could offer that has not already been done.......... can you?
Okay, put me ini her category, please. I read in the paper this morning that it was going to be the Discovery Channel, but I see it is the Learning Channel. Even worse.
this is a joke, right? RIGHT?? I love the Discovery Channel, but this woman is an idiot – again, I want someone smarter than I doing this kind of stuff. Does she even know where Alaska is located on a map?
TLC is one of my favorite channels, but I will definitely not watch this waste of time and money. Please, Sarah Palin, just go away already!
At least with the TV show she admitting she nothing but an 'act'...
what a joke, she is just out for money and makes it look like she really cares.... like I said what a joke..
Next you will see her on "Dancing with the Stars." Hopefully this will keep her out of politics.
I hope she gets real up close & personal with a hungry polar bear that needs to feed it's cub.
I love how Palin supporters always have the same comment to people who do not support her, "you're jealous because she's good looking". Not. I prefer my politions to be intelligent, level headed and fair minded, and could care less if they're "hot" or not. That really is the only thing she has going for her.
Is Bristol married yet? Or is Sarah's grandchild still a "bastard" out of Alaska!!!!!! You can bet your last dollar that there would have been a shotgun wedding on the White House lawn if Palin was the VP!!!! Levi ought to get everything he can, Lord knows there's not a bigger opportunist in America than Sarah Palin!!! The Quitter that she is!!
Didn't Ms. Palin just tell the tea-baggers "don't back down, reload"? Isn't that like the extremist Muslim preachers preaching to put on bomb belts and go blow up in public places?
She has clearly shown herself to have a difficult time with geography, history, social-political facts and other little details, why would anyone but a political show want her on? To use her to tell about Alaska for a documentary seems to completely discount the concept that it is to be a documentary - more likely a political satire. Ms. Palin does have name recognition, but so does Osama Bin Laden, who is probably better informed about Alaska.
april fools i'm guessing?
It is remarkable that this person who broke her oath she swore to on a bible, is going to be glorified by The Discovery Channel. The Discovery channel has now politicized itself by promoting a politician. In doing so it has stooped to new lows and will most certainly face a backlash.
I thought TLC stood for The Learning Channel – and you put on Sara??!!There really isn't anything about Alaska that interests me, but if there were, I'd ask my 2nd grade nephew to educate me, or hit the "google" button – certainly not someone who doesn't know or care to share
what books/papers she reads, and definitely doesn't have her facts straight on any so-called issue she attempts to present. My, my, TLC must be losing $$$$$.
Shows like this are the reason I don't even have a TV any more.
Oh well it's just like slowing down to look at a wreak on the highway. It will just encourage the Fox groupies poobies, so really who cares. Personally I would love to see Ozzie and family back on, at least they were authentic and it shows what open and honest communication in a dysfunctional family can be like.You have good days, how to cope when all hell is breaking out around you. We the people have a great choice here just say no and don't turn it on! Read a good book instead!!!
I am republican and I hate this woman. She quits on the job to chase $. Plus she's a moron. I really wish people would stop giving her a platform. She is about as worthless as Heidi Montag.
I'll watch it if she's naked, maybe, depending...
Is she gonna quit the show after 3 episodes?
Seriously folks, how long will it last? The first show will have good numbers as the curious tune in to see her say and do stupid tricks. The second show's numbers will drop once people see she's got nothing to offer. It won't last out its 8 show run. Viewers will choose reruns of Paris Hilton making onion rings outtakes. The sponsors will pull the plug. Mark my words.
I just gagged....another quality program from TLC
YOU GO, SARAH ..... if we can watch that Gene Simmons garbage reality (?) show....that Operation Repo and that hideous Dog Bounty Hunter then all these critic should just shut up.....turn the channel and go bury your sorry heads in what you do wanta watch...... Grow UP!
Sorry Sarah. Ron Paul 2012!!!!!!
Can't wait! Her first episode will feature guest stars Rush Limbaugh and Carl Rove playing the roles of beached right whales. Sarah revives them by inserting copius amounts of Viagra directly into their enormous, double-chinned gullets and then after following the directions scrawled on her hands for mouth-to-blowhole resuscitation, she rolls them back into the sea while singing "North to Alaska."
dobieman – you are the man!
Discovery Channel: Are you reading any of this? As an Alaskan I can tell you that the idea of Palin showcasing our natural beauty and wildlife is a complete joke.
When the quitter was in office, she began a lawsuit with the United States to take Polar Bears off the endangered species list, her cronies are trying to take federal protection away from a small species of Beluga whales, she likes the idea of shooting and gassing wolves so hunters from the lower 48 can shoot moose, she openly mocks science, and probably stopped learning about science, geography, and life in general when she was 10 and figured out she could 'wink' her way through life.
Discovery Channel, you've lost your credibilty and my viewership. Beware sponsers of this drivil.
I agree, I used to love TLC, but now it has a lot of programming that I choose not to watch...Sarah Palin, please...I am saddened to hear she has been added to the lineup...I will no longer watch TLC.
Good Lord – this has got to be the longest 15 minutes in history.
this woman is a filthy wreck.
Because when I want to learn, I turn to Sarah "See's Russia from her house" Palin.
Wow, dobieman, you really have some issues. Interesting that NONE of the ethics charges filed against her stuck, isn't it ? Like the one they tried to pull when they filed against her for holding up a fish for display. That was called 'conduct unbecoming a governor'. The left just does not know what to do about her. Everthing they throw at her bounces off. You go, girl ! We love you down here in the lower 48 !
Well, I've deleted the TLC channel from my Tivo. If I could get my cable provider to stop sending it's signal, I would. I am severely disappointed in the Discovery Channel. I'm a huge fan of all the channels they provide, but there is NO WAY I can support a network that thinks paying Sarah Palin $8M for her idea of Alaska is a good idea. She is an abomination and the only network that I would think would support her is FOX, but TLC? No thanks. Such a massive disappointment.
Well, this clueless woman was picked by that senile codger McCain and he lost big time...he would have lost without her help, but now TLC is going to lose big time as well by thinking it will make their firm more profitable by using this betrayer of Alaska as Alaska's spokesboob.
This is the 21st Century, and the culturally and educationally isolated red state mentality, small town barbershop bigots and reactionaries mentally living in the 19th Century ARE NOT the majority. Every four years more of them will die out and more young progressive voters enter the voting pool to replace them. Big mistake TLC. I will never forget your betrayal of my trust and respect. I will forever boycott TLC and your channels from this day forward, and will encourage anyone I know to do the same. Your sponsors will receive my mail pleading with them to drop their sponsorship of a bunch of idiots for hiring the P-woman for this "role."
This woman and those like her, Bush/Cheney , and the current Republican base, have made us the laughing stock/repulsion object of all the sophisticated nations that used to respect us. THE USA IS NO LONGER A NATION OF HICKS! Got that TLC? No, you do not.
All you people writing this stuff are the real hater and racists. Get over it. If you don't want to watch it make your choice not to...or do you need the governement to tell you what to do...I think the latter.
An awesome story to go in the Entertainment section. I suppose she wants to be a future presidential nominee turned actress, as her claim to fame.
dobieman you are my new favorite person!
And yes, unfortunatly, I now have to boycott Discovery. TLC....yep, I guess this applies to you too.
To Steve – it's not a Reality show – it's a documentary. Believe it or not, not every show is a reality show ! Sarah Palin is going to be on here because she is ratings gold. Like it or not, when she is on TV, people watch – lots of them. I will be as well.
OOOOh, Looook OOOver Dare. Thats Russia!
Discovery owns This Channel. Palin Is Anti Science.
While I enjoy "Ice Truckers" I know one show I won't be watching. Yuck!
Maybe she will finally show us how she can see Russia from her back yard in Wasilla (only a distance just short of 600 miles, she must have really strong glasses)…
It's no big deal, she'll probably quit after 4 shows. Well that's what her past work history shows. (TLC) The Lame Channel, must really be hurting. There is no real need to slam her, she does it well enough on her own.
IS this a joke? She was not able to fulfill her term as the Governor, and now she wants to be the spokesperson for the state!!! TLC should have ask the people whom they wanted as a spokes person for them. I'll bet it not dear old Sara. From what I see all of Sara's support comes from out side the state.
Wow.. You just lost an avid viewer for life TLC/Discovery.
Stay out of politics, and do what you do best, educating people about the world 'outside' of humanities failings.
Poor, poor choice for a Alaska representative.
But you reveal the true nature of the people who's pockets run the network.
I recommend everyone that does not like the fact that the Discovery Channel will be airing this show to let the Discovery Channel know through this email address. comments@discovery.ca.
Thanks!
To dobieman: Very well stated!
It is sad to say Sarah Palin has come between TLC and me. This woman is a menace to America. TLC I promise if you go through with this show I will campaign day and night asking people to never, never watch you channel again. She has from day one tried to divide this country! The thought of her running for Vice-President makes me sick. I promise you after her show ends so will TLC ratings.
When you said, "Palin to air on TLC" surely that was a type and you meant to say "Palin to err on TLC"; because I'm sure she will.
I'm quite sure David Attenborough could tell a much more compelling story about any landscape in the world better than Palin ever could. Oh wait, she'll have all her lines written on her hand, so she'll do just fine.
Please.
I love reading here how all you leftists are up in arms about this. But being the hypocrites you are you didnt protest History Channel airing the Howard Zinn propaganda "We the People." Typical. But anyway, you leftists, socialists, communists only represent 20% or so of the population, so dont watch..you wont be missed. That is why Fox News is so popular and the MSM is behind the Comedy Network in ratings. Funny as hell.
Has The Learning Channel taught the viewing masses anything since it became a reality TV network? Let's recap what we learned...
Kate and Jon can't get along and have no business having 8 kids.
Little people are still being paraded around to gawk at.
Some woman need the help of 2 pretentious hosts to tell them what not to wear
When you put a father and his 2 sons in front of cameras while building motorcycles, tempers will fly to the point of kicking in doors on a weekly basis.
A quitter politician who has a horrendous record of environmental injustices and ethics violations can have a network pimp out a false representation to help her win votes in the next presidential election.
TLC should change its name to "Time to Lose the Controller". If there is a dummer station on TV besides Bravo, please tell me.
Hey Bubba, Sarah, Eli and Lucy – It seems that everyone else has given reasons beyond bleeding heart liberalism of why they don't like Palin. Yet you just say inane things like, "You go, Girl" and "Sarah is way smarter than you libs." Saying she is smarter doesn't make her so. Please see the Katie Couric interview. See the debate. She is a total idiot and a quitter. I haven't heard one thing come out of her mouth that instills confidence in her ability to lead. It seems like her backers can't think of anything either. That is funny. I do follow her for the same reasons people follow Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh. I can't wait to hear the idiotic things they'll say next.
You can hate on TLC, but I would argue that it's a sound financial move for them to pick up this show. Americans are fascinated by Palin (whether they love or hate her) and the show promises to generate more controversial publicity for her, which squares with her (im my opinion) desperate attempt to stay relevant.
Wonder if Discovery will show clips of wolves being shot from helicopters. Discovery lost a lot of credibillity in my book.
They gave this nut a show? Can this bonehead still see Russia from her house? ROFLMAO!
Oh...another example or two of how "revered" she is by the Republicans. If you will recall the RNC let her participate in one public debate after which they were very careful to keep her away from that venue. She has consistently shut out any media from her appearances and continues to do so.
Why? Because she cannot perform with a script in those circumstances. She would be forced to rely on her own abilities and knowledge which she knows are nowhere up to par. When you see her appear in public she will not be under any real pressure to think or act in a dignified, intelligent manner. All she has to do is wave the flag, sound folksy, and pretend she is just one of common folks.
We lived under her idiocy for 2 1/2 years up here in Alaska. We know what the real Sarah Palin is like. And frankly, I would just about give my right arm to see her run for office up here again for it would be a humiliation the likes of which only she deserves. I hope she runs in 2012. Then, when all the dust clears and she is standing there with less than 20% of the vote, maybe finally she might get the message that you can't fool all the people all the time.
I hope they mention the war she's declared on the wolves and grizzly bears while sucking up to the NRA. This woman is a shameless tart.
Cannot WAIT to see her shoot wolves from a plane – her zeal for this activity completely sums up her mental capacity.
Gosh, You liberals always tell the rest of us, "If you don't like it, just don't watch it." There are plenty of people who like Palin, plenty who dislike her. That's O.K. But, she has never had a roommate running a gay prostitution ring out of her house nor have any dead girls been found in her submerged car. What ill you may subscribe to her reflects more about you than Sarah Palin and her family. Sad that you're so hateful.
SARAH PALIN IS A COMPLETE IDIOT. Discovery and TLC must be reeeeeeally desperate if they are stopping to this level. I have been a fan of most of their shows and a faithful viewer. This is one show I will NOT watch, and perhaps very few shows on TLC in the future.
Be careful what you readers assume .... I am a registered Republican, and I loathe this lame excuse for a politician. She makes me sick! She always looks like she's posing for a glamour shot !! Good luck, TLC. You will need it!!
I wonder if they'll make any mention of Palin's horrible animal policies. Doubt it. Do you think they'll mention how she introduced legislation into her state for the aerial gunning of wolves or the poisoning of wolf pups at their den? Doubt it. Do you think they will show how the so-called "governor" of Alaska is a big-time quitter? Definitely not. TLC really has some balls putting the poster girl for anti-environment and animal rights abuses on a special about the great state of Alaska and its beauty.
I lived on the Kenai Penninsula in Alaska for 2 years. What a truly remarkable place. It sickens me that this bible fundamentalist witch is going to use this show to improve her image as a pseudo environmentalist to gear up her campaign for a run at the presidency. Wake up America! Please don't give this moron more than the 15 minutes she deserves.
BTW, I am an independent, not an elephant or jack-ass. I call it like I see it, not because a political faction in this country tells me how to think. My allegience is this great country, not a political party. I would have voted for McCain if he hadn't attached himself to that dummer female version of George Bush. She looks good, but remember the old adage..."Beauty is only skin deep. Ugly cuts straight to the bone."
Dobieman or should I say Doobie-man. Boy I hope you feel better. You sure told us. Read Sarah's best selling novel. You sound like one of those bitter loones that just can't get along with anyone. Hope your day goes better.
I will no longer watch your channel, for any reason TLC. To give her a show and call her a remarkable person is offensive. She is divisive and nothing short of a charlatan. You have sunk to a low I would not have expected from TLC.
Shame on you,
You all are still a bunch of hatemongers.
I've noticed a number of posters saying this is all liberal hogwash and hatred. You might want to check with the Alaska Republican Party. No sooner did she ride into the governor's mansion on their coattails than she was claiming the state's party leader should be kicked out. When arch-Republican Ted Stevens was on trial, she publicly stated he should resign his office. Similarly, when another arch-conservative, Don Young, was also placed under investigation, she called for his resignation.
She was found guilty of an ethics violation within her first year in office.
As to her business acumen, she and her hubby ran a snowmobile shop into the ground before she went into politics. Can you imagine what it takes to do that in Alaska???
I'll tell you what, though...all you people so entranced with her... Start a campaign to have her as governor for your state. Since you are so convinced of her honesty and ability and intelligence, let her take over where you live. In other words, put your money where your mouth is.
Shawn get your facts straight. Palin NEVER said Africa was a country. Obama DID SAY THERE WERE 57 STATES!! See you libs invent stuff, make fun of it in the most gross and offensive ways then cry and say others are haters. Seriously?!!! Get some self control man. Don't watch it if you don't want to, it won't hurt Sarah. PS. have you noticed which TV programs and newspapers and radio stations are going out of business? Limbaugh thrives and Air America goes under. New conservative news outlets and papers are thriving while the New York Times and NBC and Newsweek magazines layoff most their work force.
There go the rest of your viewers, TLC!!!!!
I stop TV for my KIDS because of the over rated programs....now i should stop watching TV because of this stupid lady. America should fight for a second INDEPENDENCE from these headless people.
Who will watch this idiot??? Not me!
I'll be sure to miss it!!!!!
Wow, there are some wicked tongues out there. You people are a bunch of whining babies. Don't watch the show! Simple at that! And go on with your life....you are shooting yourself in the foot if you stop watching TLC and you like TLC. The show will go on and TLC will go on without you. If this is all you have to worry and get fired up about, I can send you some pictures of starving babies in Ethophia.
I will no longer watch TLC or its parent company, Discovery Channel. Palin stands for so much that is wrong on our political landscape. Discovery Channel is acting irresponsibly by giving her a platform to garner publicity. The show may be apolitical, but its effects aren't.
way to go girl... you just keep showing your "stuff" ,and they are
soooo jealous!! There's only ONE you need to please....
God bless you Sarah....
Wow...for people saying the left is the side full of hate you should see what the right says when its an article about Obama. Racism, hatred, terrorism, death threats against him AND his children. It's sick. Sick sick sick. Many people here clearly dislike Sarah Palin but I don't see comment after comment wishing death upon her like the comments our POTUS gets.
To Maegan, Bubba, Lucy, and all the others duped by Sarah Palin....
I've lived in Alaska over 40 years, longer than Sarah was ever here. Under her mercifully-truncated governorship I have seen it made legal for wolf pups to be pulled from their dens and shot or gassed to death in their dens. She allowed nursing females to be chased down and shot which means any litters will die from starvation. She tried to enact a bounty on wolves. All of this so her trophy-hunting buddies will have more chances to hang a moose head on their wall. If you look at a map of the areas in which she enacted aerial wolf hunting you will see they are not areas generally used by subsistence hunters but by city hunters.
Further, as to her intelligence and writing ability...she had to go to three colleges to finally get a degree in journalism then, despite this degree, she hired a ghostwriter to write the book. Whenever she spoke up here without a script she tossed out word salad in a mishmash of half-thoughts and inaccuracies that left people wondering what the heck she just said.
A number of people who worked on the oil and gas commission with her told how a little ways into a meeting you could see her tune out and just sit there letting everything flow in one ear and out the other. She claims to have left us this grand legacy of resource development but the fact is not one constructive step has been taken towards anything like the goals first set and, frankly from what many wiser minds here in the state have lately observed, you don't want to hold your breath waiting for it to happen.
When she took over the town of Wasilla as its mayor it had zero debt. When she left it was $21 million in debt and had a big, new sports arena which it needed like about as much as Finland needs an alligator control squad.
Her aproval ratings when elected stood at 89%. By the time she left office it was down to 45% and still dropping.
She has the intelligence of a beauty contest runner-up, which is what she was in her earlier years. She truly believes, and has stated so, that dinosaurs and humans co-existed 6,000 years ago.
She is well-known for appointing friends and relatives to positions in the state government for which they had absolutely no qualifications. And excellent example is family friend Corey Rossi for whom she created the position of "Abundance Manager" in our Fish and Game Dept. His job? To see to it as many wolves are killed so the trophy-hunters of the NRA (to which she belongs) and other such groups will have plenty to shoot. Problem is Rossi doesn't even have a college degree in wildlife management and no experience. To put him in his present position they demoted a biologist with 30 years' experience and a degree in the science.
She was a disaster for Alaska, a hypocrite of the worst order, and about as honest and credible as Richard Nixon. In fact, I would call her a chimera, having Nixon's "ethics", the "intelligence" of Dan Quayle, and the "leadership" of Bush. Yet, because she comes in a pretty package and sounds all folksy and down-home, folks turn a blind eye to these immense failings.
Remember the $40k make-over the RNC "forced" on her? My, how she fought that. And the $150k wardrobe? As yet, not a stitch of those clothes have been verified has being donated despite her claims. First chance she got she was shopping Macy's, Saks, staying first-class in the most expensive hotels.
And for those of you who think Alaska is fantastic, yes, it is. I know that first hand in so many ways, having climbed on glaciers, gone up mountainsides, canoed, hiked, hunted, collected mammoth tusks and other bones, etc. But if you think you are going to get an honest view of life up here from her, forget it.
She is all about the money. Always was; always will be. Her excuse for quiting the governorship? She wanted to spend more time with her family and spare them the limelight. Amazingly, within a few months she had signed onto a book deal, was appearing on various shows, got into the Fox network, and now this.
I hope you folks talking about loving Alaska and wanting to see it realize by supporting this show you will only be putting money in her pockets some of which will go towards groups like the NRA, Safari Club International, and other trophy-hunting groups that are slowly but surely killing off the best of Alaska's wildlife.
Oh..and Bubba? Until you have lived up here, don't presume to tell us Alaskans she is the best thing that ever happened. We know better.
I will watch nor will I purchase any products sold by TLC while Ms Palin is appearing on this channel. She is dangerous, uniformed and a general troublemaker.
If I want to learn more about Alaska, I'll read a book, something foreigh to Ms. Palin.
Oh my gosh i just had the best idea for a comedy. Take this show sarah palin's alaska and make it brought to you by Tina Fey. Seriously people what are we saying to the rest of the world when the best we can come up with is a show about a state that was ran by the biggest moron in america (besides bush jr) hey palin how about after this documentary you do one on the COUNTRY of Africa.
This is great – you poeple are a hatefull self entitled bunch.
The republicans get some time from hollywierd! This is great. I will watch!
You guys are hilarious. So much about how hateful this woman is, have you even taken a second to see the comments? You liberals are the hateful ones. Boycotting? Cancelling cable? Please, you all look like first graders! Emotionally unintelligent remarks. Watch the show, see what she has to say and look at both sides. You're obviously not capable of that.... ignorance is bliss
You poor hypocritical libs. Hillary does the exact same thing and you think she is a genius. News Flash: I bet this gets better ratings than NBC, CNBC, and MSNBC combined! hahahaha
I'm surprised .. how will TLC frame the investigation? Perhaps, hysteria in modern political movements? ;The tendency for the Republican party to attract nut balls?; Personality disorders typical of republican leaders?
What's next... are you planning on televising executions?
This woman is a disgrace not only to America but all women in general. Putting targets on the names of people who signed the health care bill (see her fb post on 3/25), how dare you Sarah Palin! She is nothing more than a puppet master for the American’s who cannot think for themselves. I really enjoyed the shows TLC has brought to life but supporting a woman with so much hatred is just wrong.
why would anybody watch this...lol? BAD TV CHOICE TLC!!!!
You liberals are foaming at the mouths with envy and jealousy of her. I love it and and can't wait to watch the show. For every one of you tha won't watch it, there will be 1 million who will.
This is a Prime example of the failure of our Education system. When a million will watch B.S and call it the God truth. TLC should be renamed to the BS channel if they run this dribble.
She's starting to pervade my thoughts as MILF material....when the hell did that happen?
Sarah Palin -thank you for standing strong and yes Alaska is a beautiful state. I look forward to seeing the show. No she is not a quitter, still going and doing well.
Yet another adventure that she will start off strong until she gets bored and then abandon it like everything she has ever done in her life. Will she ever be able complete one thing in her life?
Sarah is way smarter than you libs who only know how to bash and blame. Frankly, I'm getting sick of it. GO SARAH!
You've got to be kidding me. Of all the people who could have been chosen to help provide personality and insight to a documentary on Alaska- Iditarod winners, Alaskan native chieftains, bush pilots- they chose "giving up when it gets tough is only looks bad when you don't have enough spin" Palin for the job?!
Sarah Palin on TLC? What a joke!! It used to be called The Learning Channel, now TLC must stand for The Loser Channel.
Palin says she represents the "real America". Really? Real Americans don't make a million bucks per episode for a reality show. How can the people of Alaska and TLC say she best represents that state. She QUIT her job as governor so she can go on her book signing tour and prep for life as a reality tv star. She's a QUITTER folks!!! And for those saying this is about female jealousy, let me speak up for all of us women out there. I'm an attractive hard working educated woman and trust me, there is nothing about this woman that I envy. The fake winks and the "you betchas", and that squeeky helium voice, and the dumb answers to everything from politics to foreign affairs, makes my skin crawl. I personally think she is horrible for the women's movement. Good luck TLC, I won't be watching.
GOOD FOR HER!!!!!
Yes------
Its why people watch jersey shore and Jerry Springer, you never know what crazy S**T she is going to say next and it makes for good entertainment. Maybe she will point out Russia from her porch while cleaning a rifle...as long as the gun oil doesn't smear the notes on her hands.
If Discovery Communications allows Sarah Palin to do an 8 part series of anything, it goes to show that they will accept a person with absolutely no substance.
Palin is divisive, distructive and lacks intelligence!
This says a lot about the Discovery Channel. Who are they going to sign next, Limbaugh? Hannity? Beck? McCain???
I can not believe that TLC has picked Palin as the spokesperson for their program. Her comments and her negativity are shameful. She is not truthful and incites people by her comments. I will not watch TLC ever again.
It's unseemly, isn't it? Lacking in dignity and propriety for both the station and the possible candidate? Well, it is the station of John and Kate plus 8, isn't it. Frankly even if I wasn't kind of tired of documentaries about Alaska, which is a fine enough state but just overexposed for what it has to offer, Palin's folksy screech would keep me away.
Wow... What a joke! Lets see "Sarah Palin's Alaska", the most environmentally destructive governor we have ever had, and not to mention a quitter. There are much better people in Alaska that could show the True Alaska, very disappointed in TLC I would expect it from FOX. For those of you planning a trip to Alaska just remember it is not "Sarah Palin's Alaska" there are plenty of us in Alaska that can't stand her....
...oh and Satan also had charisma. Not a compelling argument.
The world will end on December 21, 2012 if Sarah Palin is elected in the 2012 presidential elections. The Mayans foresaw it!
BTW – Read her rambling nonsensical dreck many people mistakenly called a "book" ... and I'm frightened most of her supporters are still snowed into following her.
Why didn't Fox pick up that show? She's their darling. LOL
Is it wise to give a narcissist their own show? Anyone else wish this moronic train wreck would just go away already?
Oh gee, is this idiot going to take viewers on a personal viewing of the aerial slaughter of wolves?
Let's see if she'll include this in 'her Alaska'.
Pathetic b****.
What a joke. Sarah Palin continues to embarrass Alaska. Please, people, don't believe that Sarah Palin represents the real Alaskan or this great state. While we all enjoy watching shows about Alaska, many of us won't bother with her new show. She's only fun to watch because she doesn't know what she's talking about. Why doesn't she go away??!!?
Wow! you libs are sure hateful of this woman. Maybe you are scared of her..... she's just a mom and a person like anyone else. oh well, you can choke on your health care reform thats being rammed down our throats and watch anything you want on tv.
Will she be shooting wolves from helicopters or gutting a moose on the show? Or digging oil well in cariboo calving grounds?
Alaska's treasure is it's wild beauty and nature and Sarah Palin who would undo every environmental protection law and exploit that beauty for commecial ends is so not the person show case the state.
It's hypocritical and a very poor choice by the producers who are obviously blinded by thoughts this choice will generate buzz and viewers. Those who care about our natural treasures won't watch this travesty. And that is alienating the core base of Discovery Channel viewers for short term gain. Bad decision.
should be canceled before it even airs
I have lost all respect for Discovery/Learning Channel.
The words Palin and Learning do not belong in the same sentence.
Wow. What has America come to? People want to point fingers at Palin for doing a documentary on the state she once Governed like it's a bad thing, but when Obama spends millions on his inauguration, bails everyone out and put this country on the verge of bankruptcy, apologizes to other countries ON BEHALF OF AMERICA, and hasn't done a thing for this country worth merit. But he's such a "great" president. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
Really Diane? So you hope someone dies becaues you don't agree with her politics? And you want to watch it on TV because you would love it? Unreal.... and Democrats are the party of inclusion, huh? How about focusing on what Democrats and Republicans can agree on instead of being so incredibly hateful and mean-spirited. I hope that your spirit of violent ill will isn't the future of the new Democrats- either believe what we believe or just die, hopefuly violently and painfully.
this looks more like a thinly covered political contribution at a million
dollars per episode. there are a lot of narrators who would have done this for a lot less. I have no plans on seeing this and probably will not watch TLC for going into politics.
Let's face it – Sarah Palin has charisma. She is a dynamic force in many ways. However, is this woman even remotely worth the attention she has received? She is attractive, in spite of the flight attendant hairstyle, and she has the persona of a high school homecoming queen, but let's face it; would she even be given the time of day if she had the looks and personality of, say Janet Reno?
Her folksy vernacular may be appealing to some, but though we want our political leaders to know and understand us, do we really want them to actually BE us? Imagine her in the White House – GOD FORBID -juggling the economy, terrorist threats etc. while irritated by the renagade (daughter's) ex-boyfriend's spread in Playgirl magazine. Can we really trust the integrity of a woman – so instable in her commitments that she simply stepped out on the people who elected her as governor of their state as soon as a larger carrot was dangled in front of her nose?
Can we trust someone who, at any given crisis, may hear God tell her to reload?
Only in America! In other parts of the world this bimbo would be asking: "Would you like fries to go with that shake?"
good bye tlc i enjoyed watching you.but that idiot on it is just too much.
See ya TLC - I can't support you if you are going to run this. A well-educated and informed voter cannot support your channel if you are going to give this woman a minute of airtime. We had some good times - I guess it's time to move on.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
It is not jealousy that drives me to despise this woman..it is her greed, stupidity and nasty nature. She is going to show the wildlife of Alaska? what, while shooting a bear from a helicopter? Obviously she is is not interested in being a mother to her children with all her travels for a book full of lies, rallying with McCain again and now going to do a show that I nor anyone else I know with half a brain intend to watch. What a waste of time and money. I will block TLC from my channel lineup.
I wonder if this special will highlight the gruesome, wolf-slaughter, currently in high-swing in Alaska? How about big-oil decimating the Alaska environment? Maybe the special will touch-on the nepotism and corruption that was rampant under her regime? This special is nothing-more than a propaganda campaign, designed to shine the image of; a horrible woman, an inept ex-governor, and an insipid liar. Maybe her illegitimate grand-baby will make an appearance and be eaten by an endangered wolf!! Now THAT would be a good special to watch.
This channel was created to enlighten and teach people responsible co-existance with nature, and is now going to let a person who is against science, conservation and environmentalism. Funny how priorities change when ratings are involed.
For those (like me) who are pissed off that Discovery Networks is giving this idiot, hate-monger, hypocritical racist b***h an opportunity to pick her brain (no easy task) to present her view of Alaska (I think she gives a bad name to the majority of Alaskans), go to Discovery Communications & flood their Viewer Relations with your comments. Here is the link:
http://corporate.discovery.com/contact/viewer-relations/
Let your voices be heard & let them know that you don't want her show on the air.
wow TLC, what a shame.
GREAT!!!!!! can't wait to see it. alaska is a beautiful place and it being described by sarah even makes it better....GO SARAH (someone who has common sense is refreshing)
Who said that the world was running out of left-wing cranks. There must have been an all points bulletin issued on Daily Kos or the PETA newsletter that summoned every bitter malcontent to this thread. How a travelogue on Alaska generates so much extremist hate speech is beyond comprehension. Anyhow, I won't miss a single episode. As for the rest, they will continue their desperate search for something to be outraged about.
Sarah Palin's Alaska is one without wolves.
I just have to wonder... how exactly is it HER Alaska? She walked away on her position as governer, It makes me sad that so many people buy into her and all the ridiculous, and often false, things she says. Still, I hope that this is what it should be... a showcase of the beauty of Alaska, and not about her.
Don't forget to show all of the slaughtering of defenseless wolves from helicopters. To be fair to the reality of Alaska and it's politicians' you must show how little they appreciated and care for the gifts they have been given up there. In Alaska it is all about money, killing and destroying their environment. Try to be honest, if you and Sarah Palin can, although I am sure honesty and reality is not in her DNA. Obviously the people who made this dumb ass decision to create this show are Republicans' who continue to promote Sarah Palin and make her rich. Disgusting, obnoxious and self serving. I will not be watching.
It's a documentary, not a reality show. pay attention. Alaska is a beautiful place. i will watch for sure.
Americans have become a fickle bunch. Who cares if you don't watch TLC because they are giving Sarah Palin a show? Does that really matter in a whole scheme of things? Don't we have more important problems to solve? Let's get our priorities straight. Take up a cause worthy of your time and effort – Sarah Palin? Really?
I too will be boycotting TLC and discovery channel. It's not that I mind Palin appearing in that series; after all as former governor of the Alaska she is very well qualified to show the beauty of the state.
What is outrageous is the amount of money they pay her for each episode. There's so much quality programming that could have have been made for that money, but instead they chose to hire one "superstar." Executives of Discovery Communications are idiots.
I sent an email to Discovery letting them know I will not be watching any more of DSC and I will also let their advertisers know.
Discovery channel has obviously lost its collective mind and whoever closed this deal with the Palin self promoting camp should be fired.
Its beyond stupid given THE FACT THAT THIS FREAKSHOW IS ONE OF THE MOST DESPISED AND DISLIKED PEOPLE in front of cameras.
How can we make this woman go away? Thanks, TLC, for putting yet another nutcase on television. I won't be watching but if I hear anything about her killing some animal for sport(?) on this program, the TLC channel will never again be on in my house. So the revenue loss will ultimately be for TLC, because I'm sure many, many others feel the same way. Very poor judgement, very poor management. Only bitter voters who didn't like the outcome of the election will be watching, so the ratings will be low anyway. Alaska is so beautiful; I shudder to think what erroneous facts will come out of Palin's mouth. Or read off of her hand. Not enough to last for even one show, let alone eight of them. You lose, TLC!
I am not a Palin fan, but this is the smartest move she could have made for her "political career". If social networking worked for Obama, I am certain the plague known as reality t.v will appeal to her fans and those who are undecided.
Well the TLC has completely gone crazy now . I don't know why any TV station would put this useless piece of $#!+ on any program. What a stupid over paid { @ & + she is.
Intelligence ...Hhhhnnnnn Can you guess who said the following?
"I've now been in 57 states - I think one left to go."
"In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died -
"The Cambridge police acted stupidly."
"Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain...administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change
"No, no. I have been practicing...I bowled a 129. It's like - it was like Special Olympics, or something."
"The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries."
And you People are talikng about Palin's Intelligence Give me a break... If you want more examples I have a ton more...
I've never seen such a hateful group of people on any website. If you don't like her, DON'T WATCH!!!! Geez.
Can't wait to see this. I am planning a trip to Alaska next summer.
I am an independent voter and I have to say I find the most hateful comments coming from liberals. Why is it if you don't like someone everyone that does is a fool or just stupid? I know it is hard to wrap your mind around this but there are others out there who actually like her and can't wait to watch.
Wait, wasn't it ok win the Al Gore did all his documentaries about the way we screw up the water supply. Why is it so wrong to have Sara Palin do a documentary on a place that she truly loves. She had no choice but to quit. The media is to blame there. She did what she did for Alaska so why would she not be the perfect one to share what she knows about it. Apparently the "big time" directors look at it with a different outlook as well. For people to claim Republicans are full of hate, the Democ"rats" sure do throw enough of it around.
I'm so glad that I recently cancelled my local cable. I just can't fathom paying/supporting a network that places a spotlight on this hate-mongering fame vampire who openly referred to our president as a terrorist. But really, I'm not surprised. Just look at the Gosselin fiasco. What was once a novelty turned into a PR machine for disfunctional marriage that is now forever preserved on celluloid-just in case their kids want to watch the implosion of the marriage in re-runs. TLC clearly isn't in this for "quality" programming-just $$. Well, she's certainly not getting any of mine. .
I see lots of you are doing what you are told...hating on Sara Palin. How obedient of you! Keep spreading that media spin! Don't think for your self, repeat what some media elitist tells you to say! Good job!
If you want to be a bad person, read her book. Its an eye opener!
I believe there is a misprint in the news article. Shouldn't the network identified TLC be TCC for "The Cartoon Channel"?
Are you people total morons or what? Do you know how many stupid people are hosting television shows? And you're going to "boycott" TLC because of this one?? Have you seen the crap on television lately? At least this sounds somewhat educational. All of you who have harsh words for Sarah Palin, what the hell have you done lately?
I'd rather watch paint dry; it would certainly be more interesting than this bimbo. And, no, I am not envious. I am disgusted. She has nothing I'd want and seems to be missing some essential ingredients.
I too, will never watch tlc again. Boycott any scum sucking network that would air this waste of human flesh!!!!!!!
She keeps her fifteen minutes going. I wonder if she can still see Russia from her back door. She is after the the money or she would have stayed as governor. I do not want to hear anything else about her. She has out lived her fame.
Seriously people. Get over it. It's a TV show for God's sake. Turn the channel if you don't like but just shut up about it.
The only reason this woman left the govenership was due to the ethics investigation .... remember! And she and her family were buried in debt because of it.... the only way she could make any money was to quit...... which she did.... I do not call her "Govenor Palin .... she is not, I do call her an entertainer... and she should not be on the Politics tab of the internet but the Entertainer tab.. because that's what she is.. no substance, all air and a lot of it. I will not be watching this channel and I am sad to see that the programers have bought into her sell of the show to them....... she is good at what she does... and that is con people........... Say good bye Sarah and go away............ Please take your hate mongering with you.... talk like yours only insites people it does not enlighten them to think only to act irarationally......... you are not a lighting rod for change but a rod for discontent ..........
really? and obama wouldn't of had a show had he lost and found himself unemployed in a recession? 😛
face it, she's a hypocritical moron like 90% of DC.
I wonder if the show will feature her view of "Russia from here". Or if halfway through the broadcast she will "do what's best for the show and not quit, but not continue"
Seriously this woman is the worst kind of human being.
Mo' money, Mo money, Mo Money.......
Please, do we need to ask WHAT her motives are? For this piece of work its all about the cash-ola!
And ya know what she is raking it in, but....in the mean while I wonder, who is knockin' out taking care of her tribe O' children?!
The Family Values Party platform is going to be pretty difficult to pull off next time, lets just play here that were to be a next time....
They are going to be able to use all of her Hollywood-ness to show once, yet again, what a hypocrite she is. I almost can wait for some Saturday Night Lives skits on her.
Knuckleheads the whole lot of them.
Republicanknucklesheads..wink, wink! That would look great on a t-shirt I'm thinkin', perhaps I could retire with that one....???
As an Alaskan and someone who knows Sarah, I can say I don't agreee with her politics, but she does love Alaska. I look forward to the show and hope she does our beautiful state justice...
I hope it doesn't turn into some "Political commerical"...
The only tv show that I would ever consider watching S.P. in is The Apprentice. I'd like to see her first fall apart trying run anything. And second watch Donald Trump tell her, You're fired.
I'm interested in the story of Alaska, but not from Palin's perspective.
I'll pass.
Are you F'ing kidding me?
Sarah Palin, a "dynamic personality"??? You're kidding, right? The only reason Palin is liked is because of those tight skirts she wears. Anyone who encourage people to "reload" and take aim at humans need to be in jail not on a reality show. If this happens, I too will never watch TLC ever again. TLC you will lose viewers if you go along with this farce.
Nice knowing you, TLC.
Alaska is a beautiful state, and I cannot wait to see this documentary! Who said this had ANYTHING to do with politics? This is just a documentary to showcase the beautiful scenary and tell the tales of the history in Alaska. PALIN WENT TO SCHOOL FOR JOURNALISM! So good for her! She is putting her college degree to use to help with this documentary, and through the articles she has written lately. If you ever dare put your political views to the side you would be able to see that she is a remarkable writer, and a talented person. Why do politics have to get in the way of everything for so many people? People are people, now lets celebrate what they have to offer without being so close minded about it! STOP BEING SO CRUEL! And while I'm at it, STOP FIGHTING ABOUT POLITICS! Don't we all want the same things? To have this country strive to the fullest? Then lets start compromising and make things work in this country! Our culture and country as a whole are in great need right now. We are teaching our children to not play along well! Isn't compromise a backbone to everything!?
Discovery Channel executives–have you lost your collective minds????? Alaska is one of the most beautiful states in the US. Surely you could have found an intelligent, knowledgeable person to showcase Alaska.
I hope you do not pay her in advance, she might not finish the series. If this is the best TLC can offer, I will not watch the channel anymore.
By the way, where or who is this huge amount of money coming from???? I smell a political agenda behind this very big boo-boo!!
I hope the idiot falls out of a helicopter right into the middle of a giant moose stampede on the very first episode! I'd love to see them drag her carcus off all trampled by moose footprints!!!!!!! Bye Bye Sarah!
hmm... i guess sarah palin has 2 titles under her belt:
1. alaska's proudest daughters
and
2. the nationan's biggest embarrassment (sorry dubya!)
good job sarah!
now, just don't quit halfway thru, try to follow thru on something~
Boycott her sponsors and let them know you are boycotting them and the reason why.
Also, don't forget to tell TLC.
TLC is playing with fire. Thankfully, there are enough sensible people who will (like me) boycot the network for giving this moron a show. She is a disgrace to this country and to women everywhere.
Ok, ok, ok, ok (that was my Leo Getz impression from "Lethal Weapon 3," btw)...
Here's my question: Does TLC have a back up plan? I mean, I know this is supposed to be an 8 part series, but Mrs. Palin's track record doesn't do much to convince me that she'll make it past episode 4...
I DO NOT want to "get to know Alaska" through her skewed eyes. Please. TLC, you should be ashamed of yourself. I understand that you may want to branch out to other types of programming that don't focus on one uninteresting family after another, but this isn't the way to go. Just re-run What Not To Wear or that show about women who don't know they're pregnant until the kids enters kindergarten...
Sheesh.
OMG!!!!! When will she go away! Just go back to Alaska, bring up your kids, and your daughters kid....take care of your kids....don't shoot anything, and shut the F#$% UP!!!!
She is just another hate monger, racist, half-educated, corrupt, manipulating, self-centered, enterprising hillbilly who needs to stop wasting country's time with your snake-oil ideas. Go back to your hole in Alaska where your own people think that you're the biggest failure in the state's history. What have you done for others lately?
Has anyone noticed that many channels have morphed lateley. I think they are owned by the same company. History channel doesn't have much history. Instead it has ghost stories about historical places or documentaries about predicting the "end of the world" with the Mayans and Nostradamos. Animal Planet is all about scaring people now. What ever happened to the shows that teach about animals in their habitats. Every show is something about animals attacking humans, ghost stories with animals, and even one show about small/little people and pit bulls. TLC is all about people with various types of disorders or problems, exploiting their pain for entertainment. It's sad.
Please go to TLC.com and complete the webform to boycott this show. Discover should have more sense than this.
Sarah Palin deserves a reality show. Knowing what I know about these type shows and the stars of the shows the are all reflections of the mind set of the person. Sarah Palin wants to make money let her. Maybe she quit making stupid political commentation. God I pray she shut up!!!!
She is a disgrace to this nation and should be shunned instead of highlighted. But I guess the network is just trying to cash-in on her short term fame.
I would gnaw off my own arm before I ever watch this show.
Coooooooooooooooooooooooooool !!!!
TLC – doesn't this name stand for, "The Learning Channel!"
So now you want to do a documentary on a well known wolf killer.!!!!.
I'm sure tons of viewers will want to see this show. NOT!!!! I don't get it. I will NEVER watch this station again and I hope in the
near future it totally goes of the air. Shame on all of you at TLC.
In the media's dog pens of republican and democrat, liberal and conservative, I'm recalling something comedian Barry Sobel once said. "if you want to see a closed mind, disagree with a liberal."
Disocvery and Sarah Palin together? Knowledge and Sarah Palin together? You've got to be kidding!
One step closer to a magazine 'spread'...wish she'd stop taking baby steps!
According to CNN she is being paid $ ONE MILLION per episode. Is she going to donate that to charity? I guess not! she is an entertainer and that's exactly what she has being doing all along. It's good her kids will get good education after all their mom is earning millions. However, I'll loose my faith in America if she ever becomes president. You should consider yourself lucky that you have President Obama.
How much more stupid you have to be to be a Republican? I thought W. Bush was the pinnacle.
Anyone who watches this show is encouraging this idiot and anyone who puts crosshairs on a map and encourages people to shoot (in couched terms) these politicians in the districts crosshaired on her map should not be watched by anyone who has a conscience.
If she crashes and burns on tv maybe she will go away once and for all.
why does she still exist........so she abandoned her job in Alaska to become a celebrity while others are looking for jobs and don't have a choice to have their own reality show.......she is the main mouth that should have remained silent about healthcare reform.....how does she know anything about the issues that middle America is dealing with....i blame McCain for using poor judgement in placing her in the spotlight.....now we are unable to be free of her ingeniousness.
I look forward to seeing this show. I think Sarah Palin is kind of dumb compared to Obama, but I like Jersey Shore, so her show should be good.
1 million a show. No wonder she QUIT her job as gov of Alaska. That is really how much she cares about Alaska. She only cares about Sarah.
Peter, mark, and Eileen need to get a clue – Palin? Since when is Discovery Communications a political mouthpiece? perhaps its time to organize a boycott of companies advertising on Discovery shows.
Maybe her first episode can be about who beautiful and precious fluffy little baby wolf cubs look snuggling in their den – just before before you kill them. Or the majesty of an adult wolf, running throught the forest – just before you shoot him from a helicopter.
I wonder if there's enough room on the palm on her hand to write each show's script?
who says quiter's never win lmao
If you morons on the left want to hate someone hate that knt pelosi. SHes ugly, bitter, spiteful, hates America. Palin has proven her worth in what she did for Alaska. YOu koolaide drinking clowns on the left are so stupid it makes me vomit. Cant wait till november when things swing back
What does she know about Alaska? This woman would kill an endangered species for oil and money. She probably believes the world is 2,000 years old - and flat.
I find it ironic that The LEARNING Channel would select a spokesperson with such dubious education credentials and consistent pattern of demonstrating a complete lack of knowledge of the world, history, politics, literature, etc. She wrote notes for a speech on her hand for goodness sake. And let's not forget that she has shot the beautiful Alaskan wildlife from a helicopter. Seriously TLC?
This is a joke right, TLC Is a learning channel. Not a channel to watch someone who did not even know that Rhode Island was a state.
What is the matter with you people! You are really blind ? All you can do is complain. It is about ALASKA. Good for TLC
is she going to show the world the arieal wolf murders she backs?
Can we Russia from the show? I've no idea why ANYONE would watch!
Sarah Palin, one day she's patriotic, next she is organizing a riot or giving out address for people to be targeted for health care aftermath. She is nothing but a white gangsta without the sheet! I give her credit for showing her face and her ignorant arrogance to the american people. I really hope she runs in 2012 so that once and for all, she will take her humiliation this time with class and realize, she should have stayed in school. sarah Palin is is such an influence on me as a mom and why I promote her to my 11 year old to stay in school....I can continue to use Sarah Palin as the subject... Keep up the good work sarah! My child continues to benefit from your short comings...
Nicole writes: "Can't wait to see it. I read her book, which was well written (I sometimes wonder if politicians really write their own books, though)"
were you born yesterday? can you compare her manner of speaking (incoherent sort of sentences) with what her ghost writer wrote in the book? I hope some investigative journalist finds out who thinks up and writes her Facebook and Twitter and whatever else she pretends to write and communicate! It certainly ain't coming out of her brain and mouth! How about a compilation of her verbatim statements - for a humor column?
Like watching a car wreck
I love seeing Alaska on TV. However I will NOT be watching this show. How could people possibly pick her to represent Alaska? She said she saw Russians near her house, she shoots wolves from aircraft and she is just a plain old moron. Alaska deserves so much better than this.
Oh dear god no, someone stop that crazy witch!
Maybe she should go to Russia to see if she can see her house from there.
Please STOP addressing this bimbo as Governor Palin...she quit mid-way remember?
LOL.....I can't stand Palin....and I am a Canadian for frig sakes......but I will watch the show....it could be the funniest thing yet on TV....and when the Late Night talk show hosts do their comedy routines I want to be able to know what they are making fun of........seriously....what is TLC thinking, and Mark Brunet "and to have a great documentary filmmaker in Mark Burnett " Really? Survivor and all those other crap shows are considered great documentaries.........I can't wait....haven't had a good laugh in a long time......
Wow you people are brutal, Is it really necessary to put people down that much. A conservative and proud of it. What I am even more proud of is that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.
All politics aside, any program narrated by her is a program in which I will gouge my ear drums out with a vegetable peeler. Her voice is THE most annoying sound in the universe, I couldn't even listen to a thing she had to say during the presidential debates, I had to mute the TV and put on the closed captioning.
TLC's programming has gone downhill for years, now its all Enquirer programs (freaks, freaks, and freaks), so I guess she'll fit right in, sad as that is. I'm sick to death of reality television to begin with, this is another nail in the coffin.
To all of the Palin supporters calling the rest of us "haters", au contraire, I can disagree with a politician and still find them a decent person. But Palin has nothing in her worth liking, nothing. She's vapid, ignorant, bigoted, divisive, hateful, whoreish...need I go on? She is the antithesis to what Alaska represents to most Americans, hell she's the antithesis of America itself.
Since this is a capitalist democracy, as pointed out by several pro-Palin folks, I will be doing my capitalist duty and voting with my dollars, or lack thereof. I will henceforth be canceling the Discovery channel package from my satellite subscription and emailing Discovery LLC to tell them why. Its 10 minutes of commercials for every 5 minutes of programming anymore, anyway.
I think whe is better suited for a show entitled, "Americas Next Hot Mom"
Shame on The Discovery Chanel for blatant coat-tail riding. Would Mr. Burnett be producing a documentary on Alaska with any other name in front of it? Would any chanel pick it up? I fail to see the fascination the right wing Americans have for this woman. She has demonstrated time and time again how woefully inadequate she was as Governor of our neighbor to the north, let alone VP. Here's one person who will not be supporting the Discovery Chanel nor any of the companies that choose to buy ad time during the airing of this program. I'm embarassed to live in a Canadian city that recently gave this nutball a warm reception at a speaking enagement. I'm embarassed to be a member of the same gender as this woman.
She is from Wasilla which to Alaska is what 34th Street is to New York. Actually it is a giant strip mall. She runs snow machines, she would last about a day if they and her cell phone broke down at 20 below.
Is she going to cover the box stores of Wasilla for the show or the ice problem? (and I don't mean H20) Put her on a dog sled? That should be fun. Watch her blow away wolves from a helicopter?
She is becoming the Paris Hilton of ALASKA!
For those of us who've lived here awhile, former governor Jay Hammond hosted an Alaska show on PBS. We got to see Alaska from his float plane; very cool stuff.
Widely known as the 'Bush Rat Governor', the man was a gentleman, unassuming, and he loved sharing his favorite places with the rest of us.
We all loved him, and his passing a few short years ago saddened many of us; we celebrated his remarkable life.
Palin will never enjoy such a legacy; we wish she'd shut up and leave.
I, for one, am looking forward to seeing the show. I have always enjoyed TLC's programming, and trust that their decision here is a good one! TLC has my support on this one (and I'm not even a Palin supporter). Anyway, the whining here seems ridiculous, considering all of the serious CRAP on television these days. Seems to me if you're going to complain, there are A LOT of television stations that need your letters and phone calls. There is much more damaging stuff out there, and I am much more offended by some of the horrible programming that is currently running.
Thank you so much to all CNN staff, we love your sense of humour and the same goes for all the poeple who left these comments.I laughed to tears.
We Alaskan's wouldn't reelect her to pick up the dog poop following the Iditarod. We DESPISE quitters!
I am appalled that TLC would pay Sarah Palin to host a show about Alaska. Her footage shooting wolves from airplanes shown during the campaign was appalling. I, for one, will no longer support TLC or any of its advertisers. This is outrageously offensive to a person who respects animals. It should be offesnsive to everyone who cares about what the world we leave our children looks like.
The Learning Channel (TLC), the Science Channel and all the various Discovery Channels have dumbed down their programming to a ridiculous level. Just when I thought they couldn't go any lower, here comes the Sarah Palin "documentary" series. What the heck do the TLC shows; "LA Ink", "Toddler and Tiaras", "Cake Boss" or "Addicted" have to do with learning? I guess that's why it's now known as "TLC" instead of "The Learning Channel." The people programming all the Discovery networks are idiots.
Reading the comments is far more interesting than the story itself. Thanks all.
Stage-struck narcissistic Sarah took a crack at beauty pageants, sports-casting, church witch riturals, politics, Fox News, a Leno comedy act and now a TV series but her true talent is making people laugh. Sarah the hockey-mom’s sarcastic “hopey, changey” is part of her mixed bag full of the smugness of Dana Carvey’s “Church Lady,” plus Peter Sellers “Chance the gardener,” who also walked on water for those ignoring the obvious under the surface, and a wacky Vaudeville illogical logic which makes seeing her and McCain on stage like seiing George Burns and Gracie Allen together again. Say goodnight Sarah!
McCain will be remembered as the one who picked Palin to be only a heartbeat away from writing the nuclear launch codes on the palms of her hands.
I think this is great!
Sarah Palin is very well spoken.
She loves her Alaska.
She is not afraid to step-up and do something new.
She is a great women – and I like her!
leave Sarah alone and mind your own business. it's just plain and simple envy and jealousy over her success. if you guys don't like to watch her I will. stop whining and learn to see good on people.
I'm a lifelong staunch democrat, as liberal as they come, but I have to confess: I really like Sarah Palin. She is intelligent, personable, and energetic–a truly viable candidate for the office of President. Admittedly, I was skeptical at first, but she has really grown on me. Good luck, Sarah!!
Alaska deserves a show but not one with Sarah Palin in it. I lived in and love Alaska so go visit Alaska in person and don't give Sarah the time of day.
Good for TLC. The string of comments posted previous to mine does not surprise me considering the audience.
This is an April Fool's joke, right TLC?
TLC – The Learning Channel. Just what would we learn from someone who just walked away from her job of serving the Alaskan people, shoots animals from a helicopter and (until her unsuccessful VP bid) supported a group who wanted the state of Alaska to secede from the United States? Count me out.
Come on TLC, are you serious????
she went from the political news section to entertainment news section. Haha. She is still pretty hot thought. Seriously thought how can anyone vote for this woman to run the country.
Beautiful, honest, righteous people are not attracted to politics and do not make effective politicians. Palin is hot in a sinfully lusty kind of way, but she most certainly is NOT beautiful!
hahahhahhaah this is a joke right... no really it has to be
Go Palin 2012!!!!!!!! I love her!!! and I love Alaska!
Austra had the best comment, "Cool, now I can see Alaska from MY house."
Mark Burnett, is a genius. Sarah Palin is a great advocate for Alaska and a perfect choice to narrate this documentary. I look forward to tye premiere of this show.
Yep, I would boycott TLC over that – looks like some ownership is attempting to boost her image – gee I wonder for what purpose?
It is a disgrace. The channel that used to stand for everything scientific, technological and nature is giving platform to this disgraced excuse for human being, who does everything she can to damage natural environment and discredit science. She believes that dinosaurs lived 10,000 years ago along with modern humans. Let discovery know your opinion: http://extweb.discovery.com/viewerrelations. There is option few pages down to select Palin/alaska show. Let e-mails start flooding.
I am seriously nauseated by just the idea of this show. WTF
I pray Palin keep trust up to Jesus Christ. I know America Modern and liberal real hate her, because herself born again as Jesus Christ as saved. but pray america modern and liberal or un-savlatoin will wake up in someday. GREAT TRIBULATION.
Another example of how bad behavior is rewarded. No wonder everyone acts a fool with no thoughts of consequences. They see people like Palin are rewarded and not shunned as they should be.
. . . Told by one of the state's proudest quitters! She is a national embarrassment. I am continually stunned by people's admiration for this empty-headed, arrogant, and deluded woman.
I really hope that folks realize that even Alaskans aren't big fans of Palin! I'm sure this is just going to be an even bigger embarrassment to them.
I LOVE TLC...I will NOT watch again if this show airs, what a waste!!
Please just let this re'tard fade back into obscurity. She represents everything that is wrong with American politics right now.
by "Sarah Palin's Alaska" do they mean the one that she would like to see –ie devoid of wolves,whales and bears , and crawling with camo -clad hunters roving around in 4 wheelers looking to shoot anything that moves???She is a shameful example of what Alaskans can be like.Amazing how no matter what awful things she does , she manages to find someone to bankroll her further.Yucck.
I can't imagine Palin having time to be in this show. Remember – she reads EVERY magazine/newspap Or as she put it in her interview – I read all of them.
I have always loved Discovery – but that channel has now been marked OFF my list. How can they be so blind.
Sarah Palin is stirring up hatred in our country and we are going to feature her in a show about a beautiful and diverse state? Shame on TLC. I enjoyed watching What Not to Wear, which often takes people in average life and help them feel good about themselves. The rest of the shows feature people who are trying to make money off their large family, small family, now divorced family, excessive wedding, and what about the brides who spend more money on their dress and wedding than people in most of the world make in a year. What is wrong with America? TLC and Sarah Palin.
whats the TLC?
only in the united states...
can a beautiful , intelligent , very successful and powerful lady like mrs.palin inspire millions.
only in the united states ...
can the frustrated, jealous ,unsuccessful and weak critics of mrs. palin
vent their anger because of our great freedom here
these losers will NOT bring this country down despite trying so hard
It's all about the money!
Amazing how much hatred the left has. So much for tolerance.
Maria?
Don't be a hater 🙂
You better not be my daughter making comments about Sarah Palin... I will kick you out of this house. LOL LOL
If all of you understood that Sarah Palin is the smartest woman alive... the hate will go away!
You don’t need to watch Sara Plain’s Alaska just read the following gist:
Trailer Park Trash, Red Neck, Meth Lab infested, Moose Killing, Inbreed (I think Palin has a retarded kid) State that allows oil companies to drill and kill endangered species. Because most Alaskans live in oil Dividends.
Superbit@#$h Palin asked the courts to overturn an Interior Department decision earlier declaring polar bears threatened under the federal law.) This sick F@#k state allows killing of Belugas (we just keep them at SeaWorld here in Ca….. I know not funny)
Imagine the State of Alaska as God’s freezer – after all they share border with Russia. – That makes all Alaskans Foreign Policy Diplomats.
I can not only see Tijuana from my hometown of SD I frequently go there (Cheep booze & hookers) that makes me The Head of US -Latin American foreign Policy.
That sums it all
Ta...Tah...
One who can be Dumb and Dumber
Oh no not Palin again? I love TLC and one of their show "Big World, Little People, now I won't be seeing Matt, Amy, and the kids. Palin deserving a million plus per episode that's ridicules. Well, sorry but GOOD-BYE TLC, cause I am discontinuing you. You are the biggest fools around. Can't you tell the majority of the people posting don't care for the woman. She should be home taking care of her special needs child.
Soooo disappointed in TLC. I hope they change their minds about airing this publicity stunt.
I cannot wait...I think this will be a terrific show – so unrelated to politics, refreshing. GO SARAH!!
I really feel sorry for you Palin haters. What would it take for you small minded and uneducated people to accept the fact that Sarah Palin is not going away? Like it or not, she's staying in your lives.
Oprah interview of Sarah raised the show's ratings.
Same for Barbara Walters' and Jay Leno's.
Sarah Palin's memoir sold 2.7 million in one and half months, beating both Bill and Hillary Clinton's books. Her speaking fee is in the six-figure. Tell me why people would pay that big amount.
As the saying goes "money talks".
So your stupid rantings amount to not even a red penny.
Sarah Palin is enjoying her fame, and while you haters spew malice and lies she's laughing all the way to the bank.
VIVA SARAH !
I can't stop laughing..."reality" show???
I will never watch TLC again, she and all her meth labs are what wrong with Alaska!
What's Granny Clampett up to now? And why is she wearing a Chairman Mao cap? That traitorous little Klondike commie! I bet she can see China from her backyard, too!
Shara Palin is an insult to even the most well meaning conservatives. This is a women who thinks that Genetics is a joke, she has made fun of fruit-fly research, not knowing that research on fruit flies has discovered cures for many genetic disorders (to many to be counted). She thinks humans lived on the earth at the same time as dinosaurs. She has poorly evolved reasoning faculties, as it always seems to show whenever she comes on public television. On top of that she is nothing more then a power hungry scum bag, who has to write on her palms to figure out what she has to say in front of public. –Oh, and I live in Alaska.
Better make sure that you script every episode – Palin only "knows" anything when somebody writes it down before for her. If you've read the book "Game Change" then you know how unsuited this sad person is for anything important. I usually like TLC, but I will not watch this series. On the other hand, I am looking forward to Robert Hansen's "Paranormal Court" on TLC this Saturday night – I have seen him in person for a reading and he is the real deal. He gave me messages from a departed friend that were exactly right and very particular to that person. Mr Hansen is a much better idea for a series than sad, sick Palin, who sells herself and her family for money at every turn, and told lies about fake "death panels". Shame on her. for working against the best interests of the American people and our country.
I am so very sorry to see that people still don't get the fact that this women is not a good representive for the nation, for women, for politicians, or the state of Alaska. Sarah, is for Sarah, with no respect to those who believed she might do some good in government, she dumps on people when she can not use them any longer for her benefit. What a disapointment to the state and to the nation! How do you explain a quitter, a liar, although in her words, she is not lying, she is explaining the answers to her benefit, showing no regard to the real facts. Please, understand anyone can write a book and everyone can make themselves look good, all it takes is a few words. You too can have a book printed in your name. Sarah will lead you down the path and convince you to take the pill for the betterment of all man kind, but guarantee, she won't be standing by your side when you do take that pill, her fangs will come out and she will be laughing at you! People just read the facts, they will help you more than you realize.
Too bad it will be fiction.
Oh puh-lease. Not Sarah. . .anyone but Sarah. Count me out from watching. What's her pitch going to be? Oh! I can see Russia from my house!!
I love how all these male "traditional family values" types can only focus on how she looks and that she is making millions of $$. As we have seen over the last many years a good republican is uneducated (or pretends to be) can't speak american english even wyle ralling agin unamerican forners.
I truely believe Discovery and TLC are promoting a right wing agenda by paying outragous sums of money, and as many have noted, i also have contacted my cable provider to drop the entire Discovery family of channels and congress to require cable companies an "OPT-IN" so i am not required to pay for trash tv like this. I recomend everyone to write congress requiring an OPT-IN so you can also use your purse to determine what you pay for not Rupert Murdoch and his ilk.
Hell yeah. I love Sarah Palin. All you people bad mouthing her need to be quiet. Didn't your mother ever tell you, if you don't have something nice to say about someone, don't say anything at all. And besides, all your rage and anger only make her more powerful. She will win, she always does....except that one time when she was running for VP.
Discovery already did an entire week of programming about Alaska 2 or 3 years ago, and it was fantastic, so not sure why they're acting like this is some new endeavor for them. From the guy who brought us Survivor and the Apprentice – maybe the moose will vote Sarah out of the state.
Actually, Disc overy PR person, she's FORMER Governor Palin. She quit, remember?
$1 million per episode. Remember when she quit and was crying about all the legal expenses her family was facing, and people donated their hard earn money to help her? Wonder how they're feeling now.
she talks about the hate for the media then can't get her face on t.v. fast enough she quit as gov. so quit calling her gov. now she talks about going after dems using bullseye targets to get her point across wow if my kids were small i would block discovery channel i will make sure to tell anyone that will listen not to watch discovery channel
Well I am a fan of TLC but if they air a program centered around Sarah Palin I will NO LONGER EVERY watch TLC. How dare they give her a sounding board for her conservative bias. Alaska is a wonderful state and frankly the residents are embarrased by Sarah Palin. She needs to get a real job like the residents of Alaska and stop milking her 15 minutes of fame!!!!.
As a person of Tlingit and Tsimshian heritage, I do not think Sarah Palin is the appropriate person to host a show about Alaska. Or anything else, really. Waste of money, TLC, and it will make even more people think all Alaskans are nuts. I remember when TLC stood for 'The Learning Channel', but now it's tawdry 'reality'.
It is sooooooooooooooooo wrong that Discovery and TLC are doing this... common enough of Palin's, common wherelse we need to take from this idi...
Sorry, but I am NOT watching this one and losing my fate in Discovery
Wouldn't it have been wiser to choose someone who actually watched the channel once, even by accident as she was surfing for the WWF? If there is a more absurd combination of words – "Palin" and "Learning" – I'm not aware of it.
Discovery, TLC...don't worry about all these losers saying they will boycott the show, they are not going anywhere,i'm hispanic, I have enough relatives (legal and illegal) to cover all the people that are boycotting. We love Sarah and I hope she does great! I have never seen so many people sound so jealous and envious. If u people don't like her show then watch your wheels off , last in ratings MSNBC news station! Obama, the one term president!
I won't be watching!!!!!!
Trust me, these comments are just what the Discovery Channel wants...the more negativity out there, the more interest in the program. I just bet that some of you commenting on here will actually watch it to witness the train wreck that she is. I can't stomach her politics, voice or her comments, so I won't be one of them, but I am curious to find out the ratings. She has followers...somewhere. I don't know who they are, but they are out there.
It's just a matter of time before we will be commenting on the "remarkable" Blago's Illinois documentary series!
I think Mary Baum needs to look up the definitions of noble and Christian, because these terms most DEFINITELY do not apply to sarah palin.Unless, of course, promoting violence, disrespecting nature, and lying are new virtues that fall under the noble and Christian headings.Wake up Mary, you obviously cannot see how truly evil this lady is.Come up to Alaska.we'll help you understand.
It's not Sarah Palin's Alaska!!
"One f Alaska's proudest daughters"??? What a joke.There are SO many more real, intelligent Alaskans far more worthy to tell the story of this state.
This woman is a dark spot on Alaska's history, a liar, and likely the worst governor in the history of this state.
I am done with this channel starting TODAY.
I live down the road from the woman and am thoroughly disgusted with her. She is not the person to narrate the beauty, wonder, and excitement called 'Alaska'. She embellishes, exaggerates, lies and even downplays her own bad behavior. I do not believe for one minute she quit her governorship so someone else can do a better job. She did it for the money! Am I concerned she will turn this series into a Sarah fest? Why, you betcha!
I would love to watch this show.. Sarah Palin is a gem and so is Alaska. A refreshing change to the crap that liberal media always put out.
Please go away you stupid, stupid lady.
Can't wait for the episode titled "Kodiak Bear Eats She Who Will Not Be Named".
Ms Palin is a disgrace , not only to Alaska but to all Americans.
Thank goodness she is not our governor anymore.We awill be cleaning up her mess for years to come.SO GLAD SHE IS GONE!!!!!!.
Shame on TLC for indulging this horrible, narcissistic, and yes, IGNORANT woman.
Maybe the consummate mom needs to spend some more time with her special needs baby.Yeah right.
I vote for her again
Reading her book (though not voting for her & McCain) made me see a very different aspect of this person, and made me want to visit Alaska to see all these wonderful places she talks about with such affection.
Her life is far from what the media portrayed her to be, and I'm glad that it's a media event that enables her to show her real self. Her education in broadcasting should help make it a quality program, and her love of Alaska will help us see the real Sarah Palin and Family.
and you know what......people will watch it.
I am disappointed in both Discovery and The Learning Channel for fanning the ego of this wretched example of an Alaskan. Burnett said "Palin has "a dynamic personality that has captivated millions ... I can't think of anyone more compelling than Sarah Palin to tell the story of Alaska." "
As an true Alaskan, born and raised in the Kenai Peninsula, I can't think of anyone I would want less to tell the story of my Alaska. She's not in touch with the people, the people of Alaska HATE Sarah Palin, they feel she abandoned them for fame. Peter Liguori called her "one of the state's proudest daughters," she wasn't even born in the state – she is not an Alaskan. She has used Alaska's unique status and capitalized on it's mystique to propel her agenda. I don't want the nation seeing "her Alaska," then all those rednecks, Republican, gun-toting, prejudiced, bigoted, homophobic, jerks will think to go move there. oh wait, that has already happened.
$1 million an episode...good God!!!! Clearly this will help her campaign fund for her run as president. Yes, you betcha.
My brother is a resident of AK for the past 18 years, and is no fan of SP. She would probably love to shoot down those polar bears that he is trying to save!
I don't know what is worse, Animal Planet airing a show about Mike Tyson racing pigeons, or TLC airing "Sarah Palin's Alaska". One thing for sure is that they're both losers. Even "Dirty Jobs" has more class than Tyson or Palin.
Give me a break! Is there anything she won't do for a buck?
To hear that her husband ran the show in Alaska during her term as Governor was a reality slap in the face of all Americans. To think she could have ended up as PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES if McCain had won the election and didn't survive his term in office. What a scary thought – Just imagine, Sarah jetsetting in Air Force One and her husband at the controls. It's a worry!
There is nothing remarkable about a person who ran for office and could not even finish her term as she was looking for ways to make a quick buck. Though I do think the state of Alaska is better off without her.
To all of you posting about how you will watch the show because it is so beautiful up here, I can understand that. It is fall-down stunning up here. But Sarah Palin couldn't care less about Alaska except for where there is money to be made. She refused to block exploration in polar bear habitat even though her own F&G people told her the polar bear population in Alaska is on a decline. She also refused to mark as critical habitat Cook Inlet for the belugas even though once again her own F&G people told her they are dropping in numbers drastically. She has done everything possible to open up more wildlife to being killed and in some pretty brutal ways. The only reason her $150 bounty on wolves (per right foreleg brought in to Fish and Game) didn't go through was it was taken to court and found illegal. She would open up the entire North Slope to oil and gas exploration and development and not care a bit what happens to the wildlife.
Frankly...and this may seem harsh but it's true...from the perspective of one who has lived here in Alaska for 40+ years, who has hunted and hiked all over the place, having her hosting a program on the beauty of our land and its wildlife would be like asking Hitler to host a program on the Jewish culture.
(BTW, for those in love with her as an "experienced" politician, a few facts... When she was mayor of Wasilla she tried to have a list of books banned from the public library. When the head librarian refused, she tried to have her fired. So much for the First Amendment.
When she was elected gov she charged the state for transportation and dinners and hotel rooms whenever she dragged her family around to various events, claiming they were also acting as representatives of the state at the time. She was taken to court and had to pay back almost $9,000 in these billings.
Recently, it was revealed she has not been paying property taxes on a vacation home she owns just south of Denali. The place is 2 stories, has a sauna, running water, electricity; frankly, it's a much nicer home than many of us have up here and she paid $0 on because she claimed she didn't know she was supposed to declare it to the borough tax office. She will now be paying about $9k on it as it assessed at around $100k.
I will be watching to see what companies sponsor her show. They won't be getting a dime from me.
Series to be called "I Can See Russia from Here"? What a chasm of disconnect between 'compelling' and Palin 'chatter' – not to mention any possible level of integrity and excellence
You Have got to be kidding me...Sarah QUIT her Governors job. in Alaska. She deserted Alaska. to go off and make more $$$$ .
Alaska is not hers........
What a disappointment. Sarah Palin has little to offer in the way of substance or genuine knowledge–lots of opinion with little fact to support them. She is not a good example of a person who values an education and to use her to host an educational program defies logic.
Accompanying Photo- Alaskan version of shooting us the bird?
As a woman actually born and raised in Alaska (Sarah was not), I feel compelled to comment. I have never posted a comment on a site before but I have to this time. Former Governor Palin is not as popular in Alaska as some may say. She may claim to be the state's proudest daughter, but I would argue she is more proud of herself. She has not had a presence here since she quit the governor's office. She had her first book signing in another state. When she did have a book signing here it was not open to the public – she blocked out her fellow Alaskans she claims to be so proud of. Most of her time since she quit has been spent traveling and speaking in other locations outside of Alaska. She is not the most compelling person to represent or present our beautiful state full of hard-working, intelligent people from all walks of life. She was divisive in her role as Governor and has continued that path unfortunately on a national stage. As an Alaskan woman, I am embarassed by her.
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." Abraham Lincoln 16th president of US (1809 – 1865)
She will make a fool of herself, if she was smart (which she isn't) she'd see that and cloister herself & her family somewhere other than Alaska assuring no further humiliation.
So hopefully the people that watch this because they identify with her will see how foolish they have behaved and try to reform their narrow minded ways. If we don't hope for the ignorant to learn and reform there is nothing left.
Sarah Palin has been given a TV show on TLC. If you want to complain to the channel's ethics folks, in the U.S. and Canada call 800-398-6395. I think there is an ethical problem with someone exhorting followers to violence and at the same time being given a show on TLC.
How can TLC pay her all that money to a QUITTER.. I'LL NEVER WATCH TLC AGAIN.
I love Alaska. Not a big fan of Palin. She is dangerous and reckless. I wish she would just fade back to obsecurity and leave us REAL Americans alone. NO MORE PALIN! NO MORE PALIN!
So many haters... and so quick to judge. I'm sure the show will be fine. You want to complain about it – withouth having even seen it or knowing exactly what it's going to be like – but all you have to do is not watch it. And to compare what is supposedly a documentary on Alaska to Kate plus 8??!! Seriously? You people and your fake 'reality' TV. Get a life.

sign the petition and pass the link along...
Please, Please, Please, Stop giving her all this airtime. I am so disappointed! I love TLC but this will be it. I will never turn your channel on again if you do this.
I am sorry Discovery, this is so wrong, you lost me, I will be canceling all of your cable channels.
Maybe someone who knows something about Alaska should host. As someone born and raised there, whose family has been there since before statehood, this is appalling...Palin is an utter failure who should never be on tv with a speaking role!
hopefully she'll have cue cards. i'm fairly certain there is more about alaska than will fit on the palms of her hands.
i guess now i'll have more free time to read!
Way to go Sarah!! I love you making "fools' out of the far left and Demos. You're doing exactly what you want and being amazingly coy!
Keep making millions and making Obama and Demos look like the idiots they are! She's laughing all the way to the bank!
What is TLC trying to demonstrate? A lack of common sense and disregard for the english language will get you a TV show.?
Shouldn't this crap be on MTV along with Rock of Love and Tool Academy??
TLC change your name!!!!!!
In the mean time, let's hope this stunt prevents her from ever ever running for anything again.
Spoiler alert! Palin will indeed show up on Discovery Health next season – starring in "the woman without a brain"
Please don't come to Ketchikan. You've already smeared our town in the national news.
HAHAHAHAHAHA ... when will people get it that its all about the money. She wants her share and hey you can't blame her. This should be an real Emmy winning documentary (not) ... opening scene will be her hanging out of a helicopter shooting animals or showing the lower 48 the pipeline she help build or maybe the bridge to 'nowhere' (Gravina Island) or hey, we can all get a chance to see Russia.
This is disgusting as I really enjoy most of TLC programming and consider it educational. There is nothing educational or informative about Sarah Palin!! TLC is on the bridge to nowhere...
She sounds like a cat with her tail caught in the door!! How can anyone sit through a program she will narrate??..(probably with notes scribbled on her hand)....TLC usually has good programming, but someone there has lost it in my opinion and I will never watch this BS program with this fringe lunatic as a host (ess).
Unbelievable! Will the first episode show wolves being killed from helicopters? This woman does not "represent" Alaska; she is dangerous as she only knows (or reads off her palm) buzzwords that make her sound like she is knowledgable; she is a quitter; she can't put a coherent sentence together; need I go on? Get a clue TLC!!! I could name countless true Alaskans that could tell Alaska's story better!
I find it ironic that Discovery Communications would even consider Palin for a series like this given her record of supporting the aerial gunning of wildlife in her home state. Are they going to feature some of that in their footage? I bet that would sure appeal to the nature documentary viewer demographic...
MONEY......
Great, this idiot is going to make all of us in Alaska look like simple minded hillbillies. Sarah Palin lived in a tiny town full of mini malls. She doesn't jack about Alaska.
wonder if she will walk over to russia during the show since she said she has seen if from alaska
I hope she has to spend lots of time doing this. We can stand some time without her hate speech and weapon threats.
Paying 1 mil per episode. I don't understand that. But it is worth it if she stays in Alaska.
I didn't think she was worth watching during all the campaign mess, and I sure am NOT going to watch this program! Sorry, TLC, but we'll be viewing another channel! ...and I won't be buying anything from advertisers who support this!
How does this woman get so much support when so many people hate her so passionately? Just hearing her name gives me flashbacks of all the ridiculous things she's said...She's a woman George Bush!
Phew! I was worried this might show up on Discovery Channel. Palin can't take away my Dirty Jobs or Mythbusters! (Though she's told a few myths that deserve to be busted!)
OMG!! How can any reputable company give an idiot like Palin her own TV show. Can't they see what a hateful, dumb and narcissistic person she is? Not to mention a huge liar. All she's interested in is her own glory. I will not watch TLC again, and I loved it's programming.
SP is my idol! Hooray for folks who choose to earn their money rather than sticking their greedy hands into every taxpayer's pocket. I admire SP's wholesome values. She is a great role model for my kids – male and female. Long live capitalism. And long live confident bright successful women like Sarah Palin.
Wow, and this is the old broad who called President Obama a celebrity. What does this make her?
Why would we want to hear her view on seeing Alaska. All she can see is Russia from her house and can't seem to see the real America Alaska is a part of!
Wow, from the network that brought us Planet Earth, comes a new series featuring the anti-enviornmentalist Sarah Palin. Well done Discovery Communications. You should be embarrased. Whoever made the decision that this would be a good idea for a show, should be demoted. You want to show the real Alaska, you don't hire Sarah Palin.
I've deleted the Discovery channels from my remote.
hmmm....who are the sellouts
Lets see....Discovery, Mark Burnett.......anyone else......come on people, you are paying this trick to host a show.......sorry, but I am NOT watching this one....and now you are shattering my image of Discovery and TLC channel for bowing this low to host this program..........last I heard, the state was "Alaska" and not "Sara Palin's Alaska".....she is a joke!....and that is not a male chovanist talking.....just the fact, she QUIT being a governor to run the Tea Party campaign and books, and shows......if I were a resident of Alaska, I would be pissed knowing that she quit her job when times got tough and now she calls it "Her" state........
Goodbye TLC and Discovery.....too bad cause you actually are one of the last networks with decent programming, but by supporting Palin, you lose my interest in ALL your programs.
Just what we need is a dumb nazi minded retro grade woman telling us anything. She has shot off her mouth as much as we want and more!!!
Wow! There is some serious haters on CNN.com. I've never meet her and I don't agree with her policies but I'm not going to cut her up so much. Why are you all so cruel? Can't we all just get along?
The end is near!!! Palin will doom us all!!! D:<
Can TLC get any cheaper and tawdry!!! The rare Alaskan Ding Bat and Kate Gosselin ought to get together over a lovely cup of favored coffee and.... Oh Who #@*& cares... They both disgust me!
TLC=DUMB LOONEY CHANNEL
they should put her show on at like 2 or 3 in the morning so no one has to watch her. when it comes to her, less is more.
I'll be sure NOT to watch.
Shara Palin's Alaska? That must be the part where ya can see Russia.
It seems overwhelmingly that most people think she is a joke, but not in a funny way. To reduce her likeability to how she looks is about all she has going for her and the people that are praising her efforts to cash in on 15 minutes of fame are the few people who have a lower IQ then she does. I hope TLC is reading this and rethinks their decision to add this bottom feeder to their payroll.
Mc Cain will burn in hell for inflicting this woman on America!!!!!
Maybe Rod Blagojevich will be a doing a TLC documentary on Illinois once he finishes with The Aprentice. The Learning Channel has decided that what Americans are interested in these days is the life of midgets, high explosives, and families with birth irregularities. It is nice that they are now focusing more on wilderness through rifle scopes.
Sarah:
Pl go back to college to learn more before u may talk real and handle all type of situation !!!!!!!!
Gosh, I can't believe all the hateful comments about Sarah Palin. Could it be some of you feel a little threatened by her. I think she's a great person and I'm willing to bet her morals are far better than 99% of the people posting these nasty comments.
I hope she doesn't accidentally shoot santa claus while out moose hunting from her helicopter which is not carried aloft by 'lift' but by the wings of angels.
I'm very excited over this, I know it's going to be a great show. Love Sarah Palin, she should be the next President of the United States . All Barry the photocopier has done is make a crisis into an even bigger crisis. Dark times for America, we need a real hero to come to our rescue. I think Sarah's the right person for the job, she thinks differently than most politicians in Washington today. AND she's had more executive experience than the two bums who are in there now.
Can't wait for the show!
What ever happened to Real Housewives of Wasilla? Sarah would have been a natural for that one!
After the comments she has made in the last few days about what should take place with variouse politicians TLC needs to seriously rethink putting anything with her on their network. I thought TLC was here to learn from. Please reconsider putting her on!!!
I hope they show us how she can see Russia from her house.
"Can't think of anybody more compelling"??? Are you f'ing SERIOUS? I can think of EVERYBODY more compelling to tell the story of Alaska than this piece of junk. Please, at least get someone who can read and write! I'd bet my bottom dollar that EVERYONE in Alaska knows more about it than she does.
Please, get real. Don't inject this twisted woman's politics and ignorance into an ostensibly educational broadcast. What in the name of all that is right and good in the world is the benefit of having a quadruple college dropout and recidivist life failure narrate? What could she POSSIBLY contribute here?
Sarah is a good choice and Alaska is beautiful. Can't wait to watch!
My friends, I plan to watch. Maybe I'll even make a guest appearance! Keep your fingers crossed! Btw, if you want to help me repeal health care, please go to my website and donate. If I don't get re-elected, this health care scam may stick!
.
When I read our comments, I clearly understand, we all are unbelievably important, astoundingly intelligent, have greate social skills and are incredible interesting persons with unmatched life experince!! Please tell us why, TLC ! Why Sarah`? Why?
.
train wreck watcher – very good point! I admit, I have done my share bashing Palin. But, I feel that I'm justified for one simple reason. She never realized her limitations. "Nearly" every person I have talked with agrees that she is not qualified to run the use... or lead the free world. She seems to believe she can and gladly raised her hand to be one heartbeat away from the job. If McCain were elected and died in office (a verly likely possiblity), we would have been calling here Madam President. That would have been scarry. So, I think I am not alone in being mad at her for the carelessness she had with our future.
Relax people the election is over. Her political career is over after all the bashing she took so now she is taking advantage of what is in front of her. Give her a break. I'll watch. I want to know more about Alaska and Who better than an ex-governor to show us around. Nice job TLC for keeping an open mind and not thinking about politics while putting TV programs together. She is a american trying to make a living for her and her family. Lets put our political views aside for a minute here. My god. CHILL!!
Honestly I hope she runs in 2012, so she can be soundly beaten by Obama – who is not likely to lose to anyone – and then hopefully she really will disappear from public life. I'm a Republican and I can't stand the woman. even I'm glad Obama won. Maybe the world will see sense, no one will watch this show and she'll get the message. A girl can dream.
"Sarah Palin's Alaska" is clearly going to be a travelogue for ultra conservatives. Hopefully it will be so popular that they'll move there and then secede from the Union. I heard that if it's as popular as they think it will be they'll follow up with several other shows... "Sarah Palin's America" and "Sarah Palin's World". However, they think the shows will only run for two years at the most or until something new and shiny attracts her attention..
Well, I guess TLC is running out of ideas.
"The remarkable Sarah Palin" – are you kiddng me? Remarkable for what – hunting? Really – you couldn't find anyone else?
I guess I won't be watchng TLC anymore...
guess i'll be boycotting TLC.
WOW.!....All this HATE...Its really Gross..I think you all need to get a LIFE!
Break TLC's windows, then sneak around to their brother's house and try to gimmick his gas grill to explode. I heard on the news how that's the new clever way to protest things ya don't like.
REALLY?! REALLY!? Are they going to show how Sarah Palin shoots coyotes from a helicopter, lands the copter, cuts off their paws for the $150 bounty she instituted while governor only to leave the animal to bleed to death in the snow.
Is THAT the Sarah Palin's Alaska they are going to show? When they should be showing Sarah Palin the QUITTER who abandoned her elected post to pursue $$$$$$$ and the camera opportunities! She should be HOME taking care of her children!
Sarah Palin = Quitter!
She's an interesting person from a fascinating state. I'm looking forward to the series. I hope it is well advertised so I will be able to find it when it starts!
I would rather that $arah be doing this than meddling in American politics. I might even watch the show!
This is funny! Unfortunately I think she will have enough of a following that the show will stay on air. I will not be one of them. Bravo has the best reality shows.
I can just see it now....."Oh gahshhh...look over there, a bird, here in Aleahska.......theres a penguin...captured by that 'gotcha' media." I wish this woman would just go away, or pose for Playboy, because she's one hell of a cougar!
Can you belive this. And I read yesterday that she is getting 1m per episode, yikes. If I were from Alaska I would be totally offended by this "Sarah Palin's Alaska", wow.
When is she going under a rock some where? I just wish the networks would stop giving her a platform to instill hatred in people. Go away Sarah, we do not want you here!
Love to see this lady in a bikini in the Alaska's snow
Wouldn't the hunting channel be a better choice for Miss "Lets Shoot Wolves from a helicopter"?
I really hope someone else wrote the script so she gets the facts correct.
This lady is a wack job! and so is anyone else who thinks she deserves any credit. And what's even scarier are the number of wack job supporters who stand behind her. What is this world coming to? Ignorance and stupidity is the lesson she'll pass along. What an embarrasment to all women!
E,
You are a moron. Do some research. I know you won't though. You don't want to have to think. So pathetic.
I urge everyone to watch the program and then contact the advertisers and let them know you are boycotting their products. Except for her obvious advertisers like the KKK and the Nazi Party, that should work to drive away the advertisers. and if you do that the next show wont happen.
Will you be able to see RUSSIA...will wait to the money runs out and she does PLAYBOY...
Hopefully advertisers on TLC will not support a program that showcases a woman who has contributed extensively to the creation of a hate filled and dangerous climate in this country. During the presidential campaign, people at her rallies yelled "Kill him." Sarah Palin claimed she didn't hear the comments but even after being informed of what had happened, she chose to condone the possibility of murder through her silence. During the recent health care debate, Sarah Palin's repeated lies regarding end of life decisions as well as her recent reload statement were both designed to stir up a bunch of ill informed and scared people who don't even realize that they're being manipulated. While it wasn't politically correct, President Obama's observation that when people get scared, they turn to guns and religion was certainly accurate. If you don't believe it, take a good look at many of the Tea Partiers. It's only a matter of time before one of these people that have been whipped into a frenzy by Palin as well as the Republican leadership actually harms or kills someone. I personally have no desire to watch a network that is advocating hatred and violence through its choice of programming.
I am an Alaskan, I live in Fairbanks. Sarah Palin is not liked by most Alaskan. She sold out and makes all Alaskans look like a bunch of illiterate retards. She has no right talking about alaska and or alaskans and no one should listen to what she has to say. SHE MAKE ALASKA LOOK BAD,SHE DIDNT PUT US ON THE MAP OUR OIL DID.
TLC = Totally Ludicrous Content
I know – let’s open the first episode with Palin hanging out of a helicopter with one of her favorite high-powered rifles chasing some horrible, evil wolf down. Then get a great close-up of how these guns practically cut these animals in half – what great viewing for redneck families and other NRA fans all over America.
If she had her way, there wouldn’t be any more wolves (or any other animals) in this beautiful state. The environment would be ransacked by the oil companies and this state would have plenty of taxpayer funding for another ‘Bridge to Nowhere’.
This is the same woman who didn't know South Africa was a country. Times like these I'm really glad I don't have cable. F Sarah Palin.
will they be talking about teenage pregnancy...or making millions off idiots
I'd like to take a poll of all the people who responded here – taking an inventory of all the functions you perform in your daily lives. I wonder how many of you have managed people, or a budget in a business. How many of you have risen to a place of leadership close to what Sara Palin has?
I'm not saying she's the best politician in the world – I'm not saying she's made good decisions along the way – but it's amazing how little respect she gets from people who have no idea what it would take to operate at the levels which she does and be succesful.
Now, she takes the opportunities that have been presented to her – to "strike"while the opportunities exist – generate some income for her family..now and down the road....and that makes her a bad person?
I bet you anything – that if CNN reached out to any of you and offered you a few dollars to appear on a TV show to discuss your views you'd be all over it.
Unbelievable.
Yes.. it is a free country. She is free to make her show and we are free to boycott the Discovery Network chennels. They just want publicity from this media WHORE.. if it's negative that is their problem.
She is not an intelligent speaker either... whoever said that should seriously go back to school and learn a thing or two themselves.
Where is the petition? I am ready to sign!
Joe Sixpack does not watch The Learning Channel.
The only HATE in evidence within these comments is being spewed by individuals who seem to have no grasp of free speech and a non-intrusive government. SP is a fair-minded breath of fresh Alaska air.
I used to like TLC (remember it stands for The Learning Channel), but I don't see what there is to LEARN from Sarah Palin. She is a slap in the face to truly educated, smart, working women everywhere...especially the more deserving Republican women who should have been chosen by McCain as the VP candidate. What is she supposed to be a model of....How to be a Quitter at everything you do??
will they be talking about teenage pregnancy...or making millions of idiots
It would be more productive if the liberal trolls would point to specifics, instead of name calling.
There is nothing wrong with making money, good for her to get paid on this show.
In this picture Sarah Palin resembles a red communist Fidel and Mao.
The show is not about politics – GIVE IT A REST!!!!!
I would love to see a documentary on Alaska – and wether you like her or not, she was Governor, so I wouldn't mind hearing about her either.
All of you listened to the lies that Obama gave, I would think you could stand this for a while.
you wonder whats wrong with this country...you give attention to a BACKWOODS BARBIE....she's laughing at you followers all the way to the bank.
Nicole, Susan..and the few others fooled by Sarah...
I've lived in Alaska more than 40 years, which is longer than Sarah Palin. It might be a good thing for you to know some unpleasant truths about her that somehow were not in her book (which was ghostwritten, btw).
Under her the war against wolves and bears reached horrific depths of brutality. Wolves (and in some areas, bears) can be gunned down from planes or helicopters. The wolf pups can be pulled from their dens and shot, or gassed to death in the den. Nursing females can be shot from the air which means the litter starves to death. Black bears, in one area, were open to killing at bait stations where they would be snared then shot, unable to get away or defend themselves. This included females and cubs. All of this she said was done to help the rural residents put food on their tables but if you look at a map, most of the areas are those heavily hunted by city hunters, sports hunters.
She approved charging rape victims the $82 a rape evidence kit costs, this at a time when we had almost $30 billion in the bank.
She claims to have gotten a gas pipeline deal going but here we are 3 years after and still not one bolt or nut closer to such an agreement. Further, the deal she said she made was with a Canadian company not an American one, and they get a $500 million tax credit right off the bat.
Many of her appointments within the government were friends and family friends whose qualificitions were meager at best. A good example is Corey Rossi, appointed to a position Sarah created especially for him at Fish and Game where basically he was in charge of killing as many wolves and bears as possible. He has no college degree in wildlife management and recently 39 biologists retired from F&G wrote a letter denouncing his presence in the department, demanding he be removed. However, he and Sarah belong to powerful trophy-hunting organizations and so he will be staying as they have a lot of say in Alaska, unfortunately.
Sarah Palin is all charm and no substance. It amazes me that she was able to quit mid-term ("to spend more time with her family" she claimed), something which had a Democrat done would have had Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck screaming like banshees. But because it was Sarah Palin, it's fine and dandy.
Alaska is going to be a long time recovering from her 2 1/2 years, if we can do so at all.
Believe me.....when McCain lost the election America dodged one horrendous bullet in the person of Sarah Palin.
I'm sure she will do well hosting the show as it will be scripted. However, if she wrote it or spoke without notes, you would not understand the vast majority of it. And mind you, as she talks about the beauty of the wildlife in truth she has only viewed it through rifle sights. As she talks about the wonder of the land, she has only looked at it in terms of dollars.
That is the truth of Sarah Palin.
When the show comes out, I will be boycotting any advertisers and I will be certain to let them know.
Boehner was right, it's Armageddon!
To all of you who adore Sarah:
she doesn't care about you or your family's welfare, she is in it for herself.
But I suppose if she reinforces and makes you feel comfortable with your shared bigotries, then have at it.
I'm a proud Democrat and not a big fan of Sarah Palin but I do find her interesting and compelling. I do not agree with her politics and would've been horrified if she were President/Vice President. But I still admire her tenacity, drive and conviction. Also, I do agree there's a great deal of 'hate' directed at her. I find this to be an unfortunate and sad truth.
Btw, I think most of you will tune in and watch Sarah Palin's Alaska.
Sarah Palin is laughing all the way to the bank.....the joke is on everyone here for denouncing her. Ignorant you are and intelligent Sarah is....simple truth! Wise up.
WT#@!...... Is someone really watching this CRAP!..........TLC better think twice I know you guys are smarter than that.
She is such a friggin idiot. Who can possibly take her seriously at anything?
This is hysterical to me, I mean what better way to represent Alaska than one of it's worst figureheads who quit her job as governor. The responses to the shows proposal are quite amusing, it seems most feel the same. What a bad idea.
WTVR, cnn wouldn/t post my original comment...
but Sarah Palin is just laughing her way to the bank along with all the other "hater" politicians. Dude, she's lame.
The first episode could be titled: "Is it wrong to shoot wolves from helicopters?" and the second, "Quit your job as Govenor of Alaska the Palin way!"
I will never watch another show on TLC again.
What a terrible choice! In fact I was going to vacation in Alaska, but cancelled my plans as Palin ramped up her hate speech.
I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. Uff da, are they kidding me?
I wonder if the slaughter of wolves from airplanes will be part of her show!!!
What. The. F? I may just be one viewer but T.L.C here is how imma roll. from now on i will block your channel from my tv, every hotel room tv, and every other tv i can find access to. This is by far the worst idea in the history of television.
I am an Alaskan resident and I DO NOT want to see Sarah Palin hosting anything about Alaska......she's not even really from here, first off. Then there's the whole moron factor. And honestly, our tourism is suffering enough, we don't need her to make it worse. TLC please stop this farce.
This just in – Sarah Palin has quit "Palin's Alaska" after just 2 shows because... well that's just what she does!
I really wish , she would just disappear from the face of the earth. She is a disgusting human being and should be in Jail.
I shudder to think what Sarah Palin's Alaska would be like. She's hell-bent on destroying the natural beauty of her state, not revering it. Remember 'drill, baby, drill?' Arrgh!
There are just so many things wrong with this I don't know where to start. I'll just leave it at this: I hope Palin falls out of her helicopter and is eaten by the wolves she hunts for sport. I have just blocked TLC and would encourage others to do the same. Shame on you Discovery letting such a fool have her own television program. I expected this from Fox but not you!
An 8 part documentary? TLC is going to air this after Palin's last stunt? I guess TLC has turned Rogue? Oh by the way I can see other channels from my house. Good bye TLC!
Most Alaskans are very ashamed that she is doing this. I'll be boycotting the show as will many others up north. Also it's ironic that a Creationist is on the Discovery Channel.
I have lived in the US for the last 20 years and I have seen the country degrade lower and lower with time...Palin is a case in point of why people think the US is a joke...Some of the propaganda and hate tactics are comparable to what I have seen in 3rd world countries. Intelligent Americans, please take back your country...Organize a website or something to let TLC and discovery know that you do not support people that encourage hate and elimination of other Americans....
Episode I : Death Panels
There are so many things wrong with this concept....Goodbye, Discovery Channel, it's been fun, but I will not be watching any more of your programs, since you think someone who shoots wolves with a high-powered rifle is the right person to showcase Alaska on a channel that has long been an advocate of natural areas.
SP she is a fake..all she wanted was the money and the fame and I am pro female (but woman that are worthy-she's is shameful, her intentions are clear and not only will I not waste my time I question who is behind the learning channel...you want us to learn from a complete moron..wow
God, change the title please!!! I am from Alaska, and who the $%# does she think she is, calling it Sarah Palin's AK, that ninny doesn't deserve 1 million an episode, what a waste of TLC airtime!
What a waste of airtime.
Never watched TLC, now I know I never will.
I'll watch if Tina Fey plays Sarah Palin. Now that I can handle. Otherwise, I will pass.
Ugh, you have GOT to be kidding me!
As a former resident – and passionate fan – of Alaska I can tell you there are a ton of people far more qualified to tell the story of the state. Prior to her quitting her job as Governor I would have said "at least she loves Alaska" but now she is just a polarizing figure who I'm sure will not to the last frontier any favors.
Should you really warn a hatemonger to ignore tha hate mongers?
Remember folks... The cable channels can be permanently BLOCKED – seems like a good time to use this feature if you haven't had to in the past.
What I want to know is considering the title, Who the hell gave Alaska to her?
I hate this women...
It's very sad and embarrassing that other countries will associate Sarah Stupid Palin with American politics... sights...
Can someone pay her just to go away please????
Wait, watch and see... She will use this as a political platform. She thinks she will reach millions more and convince them of what a great person she thinks she is... Wait, watch, see – this is a political platform for her campaign...
I cancelled my subscription and will not support advertisers who sponsor this hate monger. You Betcha!
Being from Wasilla, Alaska, I believe gives me a unique perspective. This is the woman who, as Mayor of Wasilla and Governor of Alaska, did NOTHING to protect and honor our great state. Drill for oil and too bad for the wildlife. Sorry Polar Bears, Sarah couldn't line her pockets by protecting you, so you're on your own.
Wait - there is an oxymoron here. Palin...Learning?
Maybe if we all cross our fingers.....Bear.
May Stephan Colbert get some good laughs out of this. I am only crying now. What has this country come to. TV was once said to be a medium because it was neither rare nor well done. These days its just reaching raw.
So long TLC. Once you were great.
Please rethink your decision to back a show that is hosted by Sarah Palin. Do all the documentaries you'd like about Alaska but DO NOT use her as the spokesperson for that state. If this is truly the programming path you wish to pursue then I can assure you that you will lose many viewers...my family included.
I'm sure this show will be a winner....not! With Mark Burnett as executive producer like for "Survivor" and "the Apprentice" her show will be half witted like these two.
Too bad, for them, that Hitler isn't alive still. They could do a runner up on Hitler's Germany too.
Cathi, have you researched Sarah Palin? She's an idiot. Not to mention her idiot husband, who BTW belonged to the coalition in Alaska that wanted to secede from the union, (the United States of America) and Sarah Palin was even a guest speaker at one of their lame events. She's a hipocrit who won't speak @ an engagement unless $100K is thrown her way. She's a fool, and she is the HATER.
Sounds like another chip in the tree for Palinism (the kind of half-truth, no one really knows) kind of program to show up on FOX News, not somewhere classical like TLC. I USED to have respect for them. I live in Alaska, I live in Wasilla AK, she does not know where she is coming from, how to talk to people here and only looks out for herself. How retarded is that?
I honestly think this is a GREAT thing i love her and i dont believe that obama should of WON!!!
What a farce. I think TLC is making a big mistake. They will get a spike when the first show airs, I'm sure a lot of people will want to see how horrible it is. After the first episode when the novelty wears off, no more viewers, and people will have lost complete respect for TLC, (if there was any left.) Sarah Palin, you are a gimmick, period, and our generation isn't fooled easily.
Wah Wah to all yall haters. I LOVE SARAH. She would have made a better president then that freak Obama. What a joke he is. I will be watching.
Well said JAY.SON
this woman, along with all the other hater politicians, just keep laughing themselves all the way to the bank. dude, Americans live such an adolescent culture. Palin's lame.
Are you kidding me? Way to spread propaganda, TLC. TPC is more like it.
More compelling???????????????????
How about the Alaskan Natives...........you know.......the one good ole'
sarah starved....................................
then all those that have seen the wolf legs daggling offf skids??????
or how about those that have rescued the 9 day old wolf pups, before
she could blow them away?????????????????????
I rather watch 30 Kids and Counting or whatever that awful thing is called
FOLKS...she will be in prision before it's all said and done allrighty????
My attorney is drawing up papers that once I sign them and they are on a plane to DC then it's all over folks...she extorted a HUGE trust fund that never was the property there of...her fathers best friend extorted funds to buy land, start businesses, build houses, live extravagant for being on a teachers salary...and the monies were NEVER the property of anyone but the minor who owned the account...paperwork of the attorney establishes that in 1989 the account had a cash value factor of
108.401500 dollars...and land records show properties owned by alot of this " family" that was to care for the minor with account...child asked a Kennedy for some advice and can he take and asprin and help a kid out
since they know all about " trust accounts" and those that try to steal it.
Nice to know folks of expertise...of which Palin does not have...thought she did and she WAS in a position to do the RIGHT thing...instead she went mean girl without knowledge that the kid she was having crucified is a blue-blood baby so that kind of made her RESIGN...lol..I have no ill will but for peats sake DO NOT STEAL!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't that in the Bible??lol.
Sarah called Obama a celebrity who has no leadership experience...well Sarah, you quit your job and got two new jobs on TV...Fox News and TLC...um...uh...wait...celebra-who?
Seriously? To all you haters of the Republican world! Where in the title "TLC" is the word Democrat? You sure preach about acceptance and being "liberal" but you will refuse to watch a network for reaching out to a more conservative audience for ONE show. Talk about prejudice!! What have we actually learned from John and Kate plus 8 or shows about little people, or little children in tiaras? Honestly, this may be a breath of fresh "air". I look forward to the show.
I will NEVER watch TLC again. EVER.
It's really just hilarious, whether you're a Democrat or Republican. I would laugh equally hard at Obama if he had lost the election, then quit his job as a Senator and got his own reality TV show earning $1million per episode.
It really shows just how little commitment she had to being an elected official....way to go Sarah, you are just making us all glad we did not elect you in the first place.
Yep, seems like JEALOUSLY to me. This has nothing to do with politics... she is narrating a television documentary, and that angers people... WHY?? Should she never work again?? This is America people... get over it. You got your big-eared Obama and your plastic face Pelosi... you should be happy, not angry!
There sure is a lot of hating going on here by some of the people who voted for Obama. This is a free country and Palin can have a show if she wants so get over it!!!! This show is about one of our 50 states. If you don't want to watch it then don't!!! Some people in this world need to get a life.
Boycott TLC, this woman has been offered so many jobs and she quit her job as Governor. TV has gone to He!!
Beautiful Alaska ...
The people of Alaska must cringe every time their fine state is linked to this nut job – – the greedy witch QUIT their state to go "Hollywood"
Please dont call her Governor !
Her facebook page targeting crosshairs on congress makes her a criminal – she should be in jail !
Great move, TLC! I can't wait. SP has been unjustly-maligned by folks who are threatened by a conservative feminist. The phrase is NOT an oxymoron!
Why?! TLC has gone off the deep-end! Who cares about this ignorant woman? Go away!
Someone wrote "What a JOKE !!" I think all the haters are the Joke !!
Unbelievable the hate that pours out when you mention Sarah Palin.
I know I won't change anyone's opinion, but just go back and read some of the comments. Most of you guys are very mean spirited people. Very Hateful !! I would be ashamed !!!
WHAT A HYPOCRITE!
For someone who incessantly talks about what a cesspool Hollywood is, she's been on SNL, done stand-up comedy on Leno, her daughter's been on "The Secret Life of the American Teenager," she helped herself to Oscar swag, and now this woman has her own show??!!!
If Hollywood is so terrible...why has Palin (apparently) sold her soul to the devil?
Republicans...this is sooooo typical of your party. The whole "do as we say, not as we do," message of your party. The sad part is that you morons are too stupid to realize that it's not left wingers that Palin is making fools of...it's you. She's milking your ignorance all the way to the bank. So, go ahead and keep filling her pockets. It says loads about your party that she represents the best you got!
LOL – I love how Republicans come on here and accuse everyone of being haters. If I want to learn about hate I'll go to the GOP website that is currently raising money to “fire” Pelosi or I'll go read FOX, which attempts to persuade Americans through fear.
Republicans = Hypocrites.
BTW- I love how people both Republicans and Democrats repeat rhetoric that they here on TV and radio – how about taking the time and doing your own research and using your own brain to make decisions! Think people, think!
only those soccer moms going too watch this shet of a show people really need to see her for who she is a money grabber nothing is wrong with grabbing some money buy please she needs too fix herself as a woman before she comes into our house through our tv,s i hope tlc have technical problems everytime she come on
Amazing...and very very entertaining!!! (the bloggers here I mean...)
They spew their outcry against the hate they ascribe to Sarah, then scream how much THEY hate her!!! Hilarious!!!
I'll definitely watch. It'll be a very good show. I'd vote for her too.
Wish she was President!!
TLC still has time to cancel this. Please this must be a joke!
This excuse for a woman should be arrested as a domestic terrorist, someone should have the guts in the US to do just that. She has 'cross-hairs' on Democrats in certain states, who is this piece of garbage anyway. BOYCOTT ANY CHANNEL THAT SHOWS HER UGLY FACE.
TLC is my favorite channel. Can't wait to see Sara and beautiful Alaska. She is a very noble woman and a strong Christian. That's why so many people hate her. Enough of the bitter ridicule! Let's tour this magnificent state with the former govenor.
I also love 19 Kids and counting. Keep up the good work TLC. It's the best channel on television!
This is absolutely horrible. (And for the record, I don't stand with any particular party). Politics aside, she's a complete idiot.
I can't believe this is happening... You've lost another household of viewers, TLC. Good job.
Doesn't the "L" in TLC stand for Learning?
How can anybody learn anything from Palin?
Excellent. A woman of sorely needed values and a much-needed break from the yammering adolescent Left. We've created a nation of whiners, complainers and simps, of aging hippies who now wield the same corporate power and dirty tricks they claim to despise and of "enlightened" youth who loath themselves and their heritage to the point they wouldn't know a good thing if it bit them in their multiculti a**. Like it or not, kiddies, Palin's here to stay. And the imperious strong-arming of Obama's gang is ensuring a return to sanity and stability and respect for this country.
Although I did not vote for McCain/Palin, I can see why she would do a great job on this type of documentary. Don't forget that she had an 88% approval rating as governor of her state before she decided to run as McCain's VP. She truly loves Alaska as a physical state, and knows a great deal about its resources and beautiful landscape.
I think it's time to stop being so angry with a politician who did not even win the election and appreciate that she is doing something that is not remotely political with her time. I think this is a good indication she will not be running for president any time soon.
She loves Alaska, she has a uniquely Alaskan heritage to share, and she's good on camera. Although most people posting here thinks she's dumb as a box of rocks, she's only inexperienced in national politics. I also think she stinks at that, but I think she will do very well showcasing her home state. Plus she's pulling down $1M/episode. If YOU were offered $1M/episode to take a camera crew around your state, YOU'D have to be dumb as a box of rocks to turn it down.
I'm surprised that The Learning Channel would give a show to one of the dumbest women on earth. Ironic huh?
TLC seriously needs 8 parts for Palin to show us how she can see Russia from her house??
Just what we all need-another reality show disguised as a "documentary". Suddenly, "Jersey Shores" is looking rather appealing..
I really like a lot of the shows TLC puts on, but if they choose to pay this woman to talk about the state she promised in good faith to run and then just quit and left in the lurch I won't be watching TLC at all.
It isn't hate, I just can't stand her voice, her ideals and her dumb act...I really don't think she's as much of an airhead as she acts like, but it seems to work for her.
Ewwww.
I will never watch his channel again if they give Sarah Palin a program on TV, she is not a travel consultant, she has proven that she is not too intelligent and why give her the time of day, it is disgusting
is she going to splatter some wolf from her 'copter for the big screen?
Wow. I just read a LOT of comments. I'm NOT a Sarah Palin fan. I don't see what the hype is about. There is nothing I find impressive about her
What I DO find interesting is the sheer amount of abject HATE spewing forth on the comments. The funny thing is many of them are calling the "Right" the party of hate and discrimination. It's the pot calling the kettle black. If you can't see how intolerant you yourself are, maybe you ought to keep your hate-filled speeches locked inside your heart. "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks."
On that note, I will not be watching the show as I have no interest in the life of Mrs. Palin.
.
Former governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, a real entrepreneur ! -Looks we are jealous, why didn't TLC call us? What interesting story do we have ??
.
If this is a documentary on Alaska, then sure. Why not learn a little more about a state? If it turns into a documentary on Sarah Palin and she starts spewing her GOP rhetoric, then he11 no.
Hey BW, I would have voted for McCain if not for the brainless twit he and the GOP had the stupidity to put on the ticket for VP, and I'm sure there are plenty more people out there like me. She is an embarrassment to anyone with a brain that can see past the cutesy, wink wink, you betcha! baloney.
Get a grip people! This will be a fantistic show with a fantistic American. I can not wait until it airs.
I don't watch TV so I can't threaten a boycott of what already seems a ridiculous waste of a channel.I will choose to stop purchasing products that advertise during this show. Sarah Palin is "captivating" just like seeing a train wreck. Like Jerry Springer.
Is she going to present the polar bears that she wanted off the endangered list?
I'm with Marla. I am a regular TLC watcher but if this show happens I will no longer be a TLC customer.
TLC, "The Learning Channel"... right. Palin's Alaska has nothing to do with the Alaska we live in, it's about more neocon drivel and giving this quitter a another chance to sell some air time. If this were on FoxNews it would make sense–but on a channel supposedly designed to provide academic insight? I will not be watching. TLC, you traded your soul for gold. Sad. This has nothing to do with "left" and "right"–this is about money, and an idiot, and a stump. "Reload!"
did you morons forget about the 6 years of no compromise in the government that preceeded obama? yeah. Fact of the matter is that a two party system is NEVER in the best interest of the common citizen- only a three party system or more can guarantee the need for compromise.
I have never boycotted a channel before, but Discovery -if you're reading this, I WILL boycott You, and every sister channel you own.
I don't need to go into the specifics why, I'm sure you are being hammered at the moment.
Sarah Who? Oh yeah...that media ho! Why anyone is still listening to her is beyond me...oh yeah...we like train wreck personalities...and she's so out of touch with reality and the people of Alaska that she QUIT being governor when being a media ho started paying more!
Will the show be subcaptioned "How to rape your state's natural resources, alienate your constituency, quit your responsibilities (althouth that was a blessing) and foil social progress at every turn"? Will TLC show video of her gunning down wildlife from a helicopter and show the receipts indicating public money paid for it? I may have to watch to find out. Maybe she will guest appear in the Duggar show to indicate how she supports unrestrained breeding and supports the view that both purebred people and pets are always superior to adopting foster varieties. Now that's great TV! Spike TV is more and more appealing, especially...MANswers...which says something about TLCs recent choices.
This is from the Discovery Channel Corporate website:
--------
"Discovery Communications is so excited to help Sarah Palin tell the story of Alaska, and to have a great documentary filmmaker in Mark Burnett helping to reveal Alaska's powerful beauty as it has never been filmed, and as told by one of the state's proudest daughters," said Peter Liguori, Chief Operating Officer, Discovery Communications.
"TLC is grounded in great storytelling, strong characters, and passionate audiences drawn to extraordinary people doing extraordinary things. We are confident SARAH PALIN'S ALASKA will be another compelling television event," said Eileen O'Neill, president and general manager, TLC.
The series reunites the company with Mark Burnett Productions, which co-produced ECO-CHALLENGE, the precursor to Survivor, for Discovery Channel from 1996-1999.
"With a dynamic personality that has captivated millions, I can't think of anyone more compelling than Sarah Palin to tell the story of Alaska," said Mark Burnett. "I'm thrilled to reunite with Discovery on this project, which brings together one of the most fascinating figures of our time with one of the most wondrous places on earth."
--------
Just listen to the claptrap quotes from those corporateers. How can they sleep at night after this programming choice?
IN my opinion the Discovery Channel should be ashamed – very ashamed. They will lose many viewers to gain what? The anti-science crowd to watch their idol? Palin is anti-science! How can you possibly allow this woman to host a show that will showcase the geography and culture of our Northern most state when she know nothing about it's location in the first place? You will be a laughing stock if you go through with this so called "travel"show. IT"S POLITICS! and nothing less. This woman has helped to make a shambles of civilized discourse in our country and you – Discovery and TLC – want to give her this kind of airplay!! I hope you give this some hard and long though before airing this show. I will boycott/block the channel and the advertisers of this show should it continue.
Will this show be about hunting wolves from helicopters?
I find it comical that some of the people who have posted on there actually think people dislike Palin due to jealousy. I think it has more to do with her actions and the lack of knowledge that spews from her mouth. And although I would love to see this documentary of Alaska... saying that it's Sarah Palin's Alaska.... is well....just wrong. She QUIT being the govenor.... and having to hear her voice or see her face during the documentary would simply ruin it! Stick to Survivor and Amazing Race Burnett....
TLC used to be one of my favorite channels, but not if they are going to have that moronic woman on. I for one, will not watch it. TLC has sunk to a new low. She gives the rest of us woman a bad name.
Sorry my soccer mom not soccor. I guess I should proofread before sending but you all get the point. I was sick of Sarah on the campaign trail telling us about being a NORMAL soccer mom but she is far from normal
I've had the priviledge of visiting Alaska 3 times. It is a beautiful and magical place. I will watch. As for Sara Palin, get over it people. She has moved on to a new career and it's time to let it all go. She has always had and presented a positive image of Alaska. Why wouldn't she want to let the world see for themselves.
What's really funny is that you Sarah Palin haters don't say boo about reality shows with gratuitous sex, drugs, and bile... but when a former Governor/Vice Presidential candidate that you don't like gets a travelogue miniseries you freak out. You people are such wastes of time.
Like bad fish, this show already stinks on ice!
For someone who totes that she is a SOCCOR MOM and has values.... HOW many soccor moms make millions talking about a state that they dumped for money...Where were her values of trust when she left us in Alaska in the middle of her term that she promised to finish?????
FAIL
WOW! Just look at all the hater Democrats! You want to protest this, and boycott that. So determined to have your way or else. No wonder nothing can be accomplished in DC except spending money we don't have. I don't care if the President is Democrat, Republican, Black, White or Purple. What matters is that they represent the citizens of this country, ALL Citizens and not push through legislation that is self serving and pushing laws and taxes through that won't apply to the DC elite. Obama, the senators nor any of the "powers that be" in DC will be included in the health care plan they just created for the rest of us dumb worker bees. If it's good enought for us then they should be using the same damn system they are so proud of!!!!
OMG. The posts here show just how much hate exists on the left.
HATE=LEFT=HATE=LEFT=HATE
I wonder which corporations will sign up to advertise during this joke of a show? Snowmobile manufacturers?? Hope TLC doesn't take a bath on this one financially. $1 million per episode for Palin? Absolutely undeserved. Maybe she will just quit after 2 episodes and spare us all.
There was a time, long, long ago in a far away decade where TLC stood for The Learning Channel. Unfortunately, that was then. Now it seems TLC stands more for "Totally Lacking Content." So I suppose Palin fits.
While I'm thrilled that Discovery is keeping Palin off of the Travel Channel – which would have been a downright slap to the face of just about all of their viewers (people who, oh you know – actually have a passport and have a clue about the world at large) it is sad to see Palin associated with Discovery in any shape or form.
The woman is the epitome of all that is wrong with America. A flagrant, unadulterated lack of intellectual curiosity combined with an astounding xenophobia. She's like a Paris Hilton that wears underwear and the media personalities that continue her fame-dom should be ashamed.
I'd be excited to watch this program about the beautiful state of Alaska
but if it's going to show or I have to listen to Sarah Palin I won't watch it. Her 15 minutes of fame are up!!!! Instead of TLC it should be aired on the Fox news channel. TLC is going to lose a lot of viewers including me.
I can't wait for this show. Alaska is one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited and I think Sarah Palin and Mark Burnett will do a great job!
Seriously–she's gonna make some big time money off of this. She has a following (of sorts) that will watch it. She has a host of haters, who like at a train wreck, they STILL can't help taking a peek! She's gotta make money off of this while she has the opportunity.
This IS her career. She's like Marie Osmond and Paris Hilton and all those other vapid celebrities that sell for the sake of celebrity alone, in spite of a lack of beneficial or true substance.
Don't hate the player; hate the game. *wink*
After reading these comments, I would like to know how anyone can say Republicans are the hateful ones.
Cant find anyone more compelling? You have got to be kidding coming from a woman that says Jesus and dinosaurs walked the Earth at the same time and that writing notes on your hand is comparable to Bible scriptures.... Give me and the American people a big fat break!
Instead of shooting wolves clearly Alaskans should take her and her stupid douchebag buddies outback and put one between her eyes.
P.S. Not everything is about politics – get a life. Let her be. Why is everyone so negative – that's why people are so unhappy. Always willing to bash someone else's life.
Nothing like rewarding a quitter!
What a load of crap. She wants to insult President Obama by calling him a 'rockstar'??? What kind of behavior does this exhibit? Sarah apparently wants rock star status like Obama...which she will never get because she lost. FOR A REASON. She is SO fake. I will definitely NOT be watching this show. Come on, TLC...what's next? I thought John & Kate was ridiculous...this is WAY worse.
Bummer....I love Alaska and I love great nature documentaries. But I can't stand Palin. Since I don't have TLC in high def...guess I'll skip this one. Especially if she narrates...her voice is like nails on the chalkboard.
Why would you select someone who has to be the worst political candidate in history to show case Alaska. She never completed her first term. She QUIT and now wants to be taken serious as a political figure. The only she thing she proved to be good at was to fan the flames of hatred and to confuse everyone with her waffling style. Let me pose provocatively for a running magazine but complain when the same picture is used in an article she about here that she didn't like. Hmmm should've thought about that before you posed for the picture. I find it interesting that the only positive comments about Sarah Palin refer to her looks.
How desperate is TLC to run a show with that whack job Palin. No way will I be watching it.
COOL! Can't wait for it to air. I am a Palin Fan, and have always enjoyed learning about Alaska. GO SARAH!
"Sarah Palin's Guide to Wasilla For Under 5 Grams-a-Day"... now that's great TV! I guess there was no place for her on "Bad Girls Club", after all they have standards.
When I saw this article, I thought at first that it was April Fool's Day. But then I realized it was only March 25.
No surprises here...America loves to produce unreal "reality" shows all the time and consumers eat them up. As there also seems to be an "unreal" obsession with this "uninteresting" woman, I'm sure the show will be a big hit in America. I wonder how many Alaskans will be watching?
Everyone should boycott both the TLC and the Discovery Channel!! She is attractive but has no substance!! Next, she will try to run for President in 2012 but will America vote for a reality person for President??
Thus right-wing nut encourages terrorism..
She should be put in jail
What a joke.
I agree with Maria, I watch TLC a lot but will absolutely never watch again if this show airs. There are few channels that we can depend on for quality programs, now apparently there is one less!
What Mark said in the 1st comment.
There is NOTHING remarkable about her on ANY level.
I wish she would just fade into oblivion as quickly as possible – if the only the media would let her.
Yes – if I wanted my kids to learn that climate change is not real, killing wolves for pleasure from an airplane, violence is ok if it supports your opinion, underage drinking and pregnancy is ok as long as you tell others to not do it, lying is ok if it gets you things and utter hypocrisy is acceptable as an attribute she would be the perfect spokesperson.
At least no serious person would consider her presidential fodder after this and by the time its done her looks will be gone (whats left of them) and with that that last vestige of her attraction to middle aged undereducated men running the farms in mid america.
it makes me sick this idiot is now a millionaire thanks to john mccain and lord knows what uses she will put that money to
Wow, I can't wait to get a giggle at how poor the ratings for this show are. It's still amazing for me that people purchased her book. She is garbage and a prime example of FAILURE.
Sarah Palin is no friend to animals. First, she considers shooting wolves from a helicopter a hobby (and now the state of Alaska has officially given permission for hunters to wipe out 80%!!! of the wolf population.), second she conducts an interview while a turkey gets beheaded behind her on live TV, third she sued the U.S. government to take the very much endangered polar bear OFF the endangered species list. She disgusts me.
Yesterday when I read about this, I was thrilled by it. Various articles made it sound like the show was going to be about Alaska, in a Planet Earth-like documentary, hosted by Sarah Palin (who, being resident and Governor of the state, she knows a lot about and can be a great asset to the show). I was thrilled because she would be doing something apolitical, for the greater good of educating the nation.
Now, after reading this, this show can just be placed in a dumpster. I don't want to watch a show about Sarah Palin's family, in which inevitably politics will come up. I just. don't. care. I hate Sarah Palin's views on life and politics, and I'm sorry I gave my hopes up that she would finally be doing something good.
Shame on TLC/Discovery for yet again feeding the dumb masses out there that have a sad addiction to "reality" drama. Just another show to dumb people down. Woo hoo!
She is anti-environment. Why promote the phony?
I feel embarrassed for Alaska already. I find it hard to believe one of their proudest daughters is a quitter.
8 episodes? Let me know if she makes it to six without quitting.
Do NOT pay her in advance guys.
I don't have a problem with this at all. I love Howard Stern and plenty of people don't because of false assumptions. While I may not agree with all of Palin, a lot of the comments above are based on the same exaggerations and false assumptions people throw at Stern.
You don't like the show, watch something else. Don't act like a bunch of Harpies and deny the right of others to watch or listen to what they feel like checking out. Please keep this a free country, Geez!
I can't believe the hate directed toward this woman or the complete disregard of the facts some of these posts display - whatever a person's politcal beliefs are, we should be concerned about our country's & the world's true problems rather than attacking one of our own citizens. Just my take – I happen to agree with many of her "down home" beliefs and find them refreshing in the current political "business as usual" atmosphere.
Also...for the person above who wrote "I think a lot of libs are jealous of her because there aren't many physically attractive democratic female politicians."
Are you kidding me? I'm not even a liberal but the idea of a woman who incites and promotes violence at her rally and now on her website, who probably couldn't even read a book (c'mon we all know she had a ghost writer for her compelling biopic) let alone write a piece of legislation, who misused Alaskan funds and law enforcement for her own personal gain, and who sees ANY form of media as a way to whore herself out to the general public (2012 baby!).....THAT is why liberals, independents, republicans, and intelligent people worldwide wish this woman would drown in the Bering Sea.
How did TLC give a show to a person who advocates violence against our elected leaders.Just one more reason not to watch.
I thinkTLC should do a show hosted by Obama showcasing Chicago politics. Maybe a segment on Michelle's stint as a 300K hospital administrator.
who gives a crap about her show. It wont last trust me!!! she's an idiot!!! anyone who would write "reload" we all know what that means. Some role model for her children and children in this country!!. She's just promoting hatred and racism!!!
Amazing, she didn't know the difference between North and South Korea, I hope she knows the difference between a Moose and a Bear. Watching her is like watching a cartoon.
Oh good Lord! Hasn't that moron's 15 minutes been used up yet??? TLC has lost it! Then again, she quit being the Gov....maybe she'll quit half way through this.
Wow – this money-whore is grabbing for whatever she can before her 15 mintues of fame are over (none too soon, by the way!). TLC is really scrapping the bottom of the septic tank....
what ARE you people smoking there ?? This is just a horrible waste of Kodak film !!
This woman quit her role as governor in order to rake in the dough on book sales and now a stupid reality show. Can anybody really tell me why we care to hear anymore from her? She has no smarts whatsoever that I can tell.
Can Tina Fey do the show instead?
Note to the president of TLC: I will no longer watch your programming nor will I patronize the advertisers on your programing. Fini!
She is having the last laugh.Feed into the witch of Waslla ..Thanks to dunbass McCaine her spell was cast ..Now reap THE REWARDS .
TLC has done the country a great favor. Sarah will be too preoccupied to be involved in politics.
And here's hoping that TLC has some great editors. They have their jobs cut out for them.
Sarah Palin is a disgrace to politics. How she became Governor of Alaska, we'll never know. I would much rather see Tina Fey "doing" Sarah Palin than her "doing herself:. That's one contribution she made – lots of laughts....
I will not watch this wacky woman do any kind of tv show. They should have someone less contriversal do the series, someone that isnt cutting down our president every chance she gets. I would love to see more of the state just not involving her. Yuk!!!! Bad choice Discovery Channel.
She's an idiot but a pretty good MILF, I'd hit it.
Here is what does not make sense to me: 1. Sarah Palin approved aerial hunting of wolves 2. Did not think the Beluga Whale needed to be a protected species
I do not think that this woman deserves the opportunity to show the world Alaska just because she lived and governed there. America’s last frontier should be shown to us by an Eskimo. These people really know Alaska; they have been there the longest after all. If Palin loves her state as much as she is claiming they why did she step down? I have an answer for that, because she had a taste of fame and is now addicted. Nobody cared about what the Alaskan government was up to until she was the vice presidential candidate. I see her as another Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.
I am shocked about all the negative posts about Sarah. She is an awesome person and deserves everything she has coming to her. You people are so jealous, it just spews from your posts. I bet all the people who call her names are the same ones who love the obamacare we just got forced fed down our throats. I can't wait til november and then 2012. Obama, the one term president!
Just another tool for Sara Palin to continue brainwashing uneducated righty's and tea partiers. No doubt this show about Alaska will include many less-than-subtle comments about how Alaska is the last "free" place in the country and how everyone should move to Alaska if they want their guns, paychecks and children to be safe from the clutches of Obama and modern democracy.
Sadly, I'll probably watch just so I can get a good laugh for 8 days. I guess i've been brainwashed too.
Next on TLC: "Dick Cheney's Wyoming."
"Sarah Palin's Alaska," -- ARE YOU KIDDING ??? You MUST be kidding !!! This is a joke, right ?? If so, FUNNY AS HELL...you almost had me going there. If this is not a joke....WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE SMOKING THERE AT TLC...and can I have some ??
Do yourselves a favor and drop this like a hot rock now before you embarrass yourselves any further...although I'm sure you can embarrass any better than with this.
WOW, tough crowd. I'm looking forward to the show. Sarah has a wonderful personality, she will make a great TV host. She will be talking about a beautiful state. I think everyone should stop bashing and watch the show. Give it a chance
What could She Who Was Half-Governor possibly add to The Learning Channel? TLC was (past tense) one of my favorite channels, but no more! Cate, tedbear8 and several others said it so well, and TLC just lost another viewer. Oh, I just heard the Faux (Fox) Network purchased TLC and Glen Beck will be directing the show!
Wow... just WOW! Is this what America is coming to? A TV show about one of our most embarrasing politicians? I wish I could have been at the round table meeting when someone said "This is a GREAT idea!"
I always knew that TV is so dummied down, this proves it.
Thank you, TLC! I will be watching and I can't wait to tell my friends. I love Alaska and Palin! Yeeesss!!
TLC, this will be the death of you, don't do it!
The Litter Channel, best known for coverage and endorsement of mega families is expanding and will henceforth be known as The Loser Channel.
What is TLC thinking? There is nothing about Sarah Palin that makes her fun to watch. The woman is a disgrace to modern politics and TLC wants to give her more attention? Get a clue, TLC. This half-term governor is an infectious joke that will never be taken seriously, just like any network that chooses to give her a job.
Great! Can't wait to see. I expect the show will provide all the facts and highlight the brutal slaughter of wolves that Sarah endorses?
I am just so happy that we now have Joe Biden one heartbeat away from the Presidency and, even better, Nancy Pelosi is two beats away. God help us.
TLC is NO LONGER on our favorite network list. I don't agree w/ the exploitation of children..like on Jon and Kate and I ABSOLUTELY do not agree with the way Sarah Palin treats animals and nature. I just don't understand how TLC can think that this is a good move for a newtork called The Learning Channel...what can we all learn from Sarah Palin about nature...how it destroy it? I've been a contributor to several animal advocacy groups for 20 years now and SHE undoes EVERYTHING that I PAY to help out...if everyone acted like she does to animals we'd have no more animals. TLC...you will NO LONGETR get our support or our viewing our your network..and i'm sure we aren't the only family who feels this way.
And to several people posting here...shame on you if you think that shooting animals from a heicopter is "entertainment".
Observant – Get real!! Maybe you envy this brain dead idiot but don't try to tell me everyone else does.
Since she's called on her followers to reload and her facebook page has crosshairs on the congresspeople she intends to target, I'm waiting to see what The Discovery Channel does after some wingnut attacks one of her targets. The Discovery Channel will have to distance itself from her (after paying her, of course). It's distressing to see The Discovery Channel supporting anyone who calls for attacks on our elected representatives however obliquely.
TLC and Mark Burnett may be sorry; by the time they finish filming, her star may have burned out. Former Gov. Palin has peaked, and she's moved from polarizing to fringe as she escalates her hate speech as the only way to draw attention to herself.
...I hear the working title is "Burnett's Folly" ...they may end up paying her a lot of money and having nothing they can use with her likeness or voice.
WAAAAAAAAA......we ALL hate conservatives, we olny love goverment funding, please help me because I cant help myself liberals, if we see somone who has traditional values get attention, what will we do? Why dont you tree hugging liberal dems figure out why the wonderful president and his lackies have put in option for them not to have to be on the very health plan they are fighting to pass, When Obama was asked about it he said, "I'm the president so I'll wont have an issue with healthcare myself"!! Unreal....Oh yea, let's blame Bush for that too after all Bush is the cause of everything thing wrong
that has ever happend, econmomy, war, earthquakes,floods, so you all elected a movie star this time....... That was brilliant, hey maybe Clooney,Hanks,and Sean Penn can get into the house of reps this fall too!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!
It would have been a smart thing had TLC researched the official transcripts collected during the initial "Trooper Wooten" divorce proceedings which exposes the lack of the Palin & Heath family in so many areas of their lives.
Yeah right, all of you who will not watch this will be the first persons to TiVo it. Why, because just like everyone else you are curious. Also, you haven't even seen it yet so how do you know if it is going to be good or bad. Regardless if you like her or not you should give it a chance you may be surprised. We are so judgmental, this is the problem with this world today.
First of all Mrs. Palin needs to stop using the title GOVERNOR or former GOVERNOR, because she has slipped away so far from being a respectable authority figure. Second, Mrs. Palin needs to stick to one profession and go with it (mother, politician, blogger, reality wanna be) because she is proving to everyone that opposes her to be right. Third, no one is taking her serious at all. Lastly, TLC must be hurting for ratings, because out of all the nature experts in the whole world or even Alaska, Mrs. Palin was the only one available???C'mon TLC, you can do better then this. What's the matter Kate Gosselin wasn't available????
Right on Cate – agree with everything you said
I quess the TV show has nothing else better to put on. Too bad, I want be watching it and no one else in my home. We watch bad behavior and violence all the time on day to day news all day long now so why spend more time watching make up lies, non truths, child play, fantasy ideas on what she want you to hear or believe. We try to teach are children non violence and to tell the truth. Most of all don't mis-used God words for wrong and BAD behavior and deception of lies being made up or told. I quess Sarah maybe put out a HIT List on the show if they didn't put her on.
Sarah's first script:
Sarah: This is snow – – I think (she stops, looks at her hand) yeah this is snow...
Then Sarah yells, cut cut cut – – hey when do I get to do some shooting from a helicopter – – there's too much wildlife out here. I want the camera on me!
I can't stand her or her politics at all, but damn, I'd still like to boink her.
This photo of her is hot.
I hate to say this because I call AK my home, but I wish Sarah would just fade away. She has done nothing but make AK a laughing stock since she burst onto the national stage. She had no intention of working for the American people after that, even if the Republicans did get elected. That became clear after she turned her back on the people of AK. Thank God she and McCain did not make it to the White House.
This is terrible! Her 15 minutes of fame should have been over a long time ago....great....now this is just another media opportunity for her to continue spouting her complete and utter ignorance. Sadly, because of this, the ignorant, ill-informed and mostly uneducated people who follow her, will be driven into and even more poorly informed and ignorant state..........It's a shame that Darwinism just isn't efficient enough to weed out these people any more.....
"He who angers you controls you." I love the fact that Sarah Palin is able to control so many unhappy, disgruntled, pesimistic, and sometimes Godless human beings just because she has character.
I hated that woman during the campaign and would never vote for her. But I'm intrigued. You have to admit that her post political life has been kinda of fun to watch. Now that I can step back a bit, I have to admit she's kinda fun to watch.
You can hate Sarah Palin i f you must, but personally I am looking forward to this. Alaska is a beautiful state and I'd like to see more of it.
lol TLC sucks anyhow. This is a perfect fit for Mrs. Palin
TLC is a good learning Network and Gov. Palin must make it better; not with hit remarks but with positive.... We all like her b/c of the role she plays in our children lives. So Gov. Palin, on behave of all human kind, please turn down the rhetoric and be positive while reloading your pocket with da millions.
NO, no, no! I will not be watching this series! You betcha!
Everyone: Take action on this beyond this blog!
1. Go to Discovery's website, get HQ address, and write letters!
2. Call their ethics hotline!

*They should know it would be a disgrace to have someone who condones killing wolves, who hunt caribou for their survival, only to leave more caribou for humans, who hunt for mere entertainment.
*The should know it would be a discgrace to have someone who promotes oil digging over the preservation of our forests and would be an insult to viewers.
I really hope she shows the rest of the lower 48 the ruthless way they slaughter wolves by running them down by helicopters and them once exhausted they shoot them. Sarah Palin pays a bounty for each wolf shot and also if you bring in a leg she pays for that as proof of a kill. She is despicable and the show can go to hell. Mark Burnett paying this woman a million dollars an episode needs his head read. I hope it bombs... thank God it's on a channel nobody watches anyway. TLC stands for The Lunatic Channel if she is on it.
Yea, Discovery Channels and TLC air shows pertaining to evolution and how the earth was made.. quick question.. How the hec are you going to have someone who is a creationist (believes the world is 10,000 years old) host a show about one our countrys' last untouched landscape? I think they got sold down the feed-me-a-lot-of-BS-as-long-as-the-price-is-right-river. Im a little mad to say the least. She is one of the most thick-headed woman to have air-time.. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!
The thing I find best about Sarah Palin is her pioneering spirit. She is hands down my favorite politician, and I can't wait to watch her new show on the Discovery Channel!
LOL... are they serious??
Looks like I won't be watching TLC/Discovery channel anymore.
For those of you who think Sarah Palin is wonderful, look on her website where she has posted a map with crosshairs aiming at the democrats who voted for the helathcare bill. Here's a woman who spread hate and violence, she ought to go to jail.
TLC has just lost this viewer.
I'm open minded, but this is despicable.
Awww that's disgusting.
Mark Burnett? Really? A "great documentary film maker"? I mean I don't know hardly anyone who who would say: "Oh wow, I cannot stop watching these excellent documentaries on CBS, it's called Survivor!" I don't even recall if that's the correct channel or not, same with "The Apprentice". Nor do I care because reality shows are a joke. So is this what I should expect from a Sarah Palin propaganda film.. I mean great documentary film?
Why hurt the natural beauty of Alaska by posting her face all over T.V.? Lewis said in 1885 or so I believe that Fascism would show it's face wrapped in an America flag, holding a cross. I'm positive I have seen a photo of Palin with the same description.
TLC although, I can see where this sorta crap can be profitable for you, I mean obviously exploiting popular social situations has already proved to be quite lucrative. Why not exhibit the things that make American so great! Such as: associate with groups of radical hate mongering right wing nut jobs (Tea Party woo-hoo!!); making a name for yourself as governor, quitting, then making another name for yourself as a VP loser.....and um...well whatever she calls herself now; and mountains.
Of course TLC wouldn't say when it's coming out, they first have to read these comments to decide whether the controversy is quite literally worth it. No such thing as bad press when it comes to TV because enough people will want to see whether her personal politics are discussed, and i'm sure some people think she's hot enough to stare at for what i'm guessing at least 8 hours.
The DVD that will obviously be produced could possibly be a great outlet for Palin to further perpetuate her righteous positions on everything. I'm sure for some people this will be the highlight of their Alaska experience.
When she wins an award for best documentary, maybe she can thank the people shooting at elected officials' offices, calling them names, making awful scenes with highlighter pink protest signs, and God., or by his slave name: Glenn Beck.
Maybe the extras on the DVD could be some of the U.S. Army weapons manuals that (myself as a former infantryman) and the countless militias forming across the U.S. no doubt will want to refresh themselves on. I'm glad that the Constitution allows me
to keep weapons, because from the looks of things, citizens that aren't into hating on entire groups of socially opposed or otherwise different from them, are going to need to protect themselves.
But this could not possibly be that bad, or could it?
Maybe the show should be called "Cold Under Northern Terrain".
And if that's too long a title, just use the acronym.
you have to admit, it would have been heelarious (Not SP, thats a palinism) to have had Obama name H. Clinton as his running mate in 08 and then watch the VP debates. Biden took it easy on her. Clinton would have had no mercy as women have had to fight tooth and nail to get to where the two of them would have been, and i imagine she would be pretty vindictive against her. And before some retard responds with "thts becuz she wuz jelus lol" go check your room temperature to see if its dropped enough to allow your IQ to be the higher value for once in your life.
So many people – so negative.
It’s a documentary about Alaska – you people need to grow up and get a life.
Don’t you people have something better to do than throw rocks at this woman?
This has nothing to do with politics – it has to do with Alaska and its beauty.
Stop making this something it is not!
Alaska yes...Palin no. Won't be watching.
Way to ruin a perfectly good documentary on Alaska, I'll won't even bother downloading it.
Bye bye TLC... I will never watch this channel again. Sarah Palin (and her name is NOT Gov Palin) is repulsive and ignorant. Shame on TLC
There's nothing remarkable about Sarah Palin. She couldn't even finish her term being governor. We don't need to hear the story of Alaska from her. There are many, many, many more qualified and respected Alaskan's out there if anyone wants a story. I don't know what people see in her, she's a gloried pig with lipstick on!
What, filming a documentary of Alaska couldn't be done by someone intelligent, like an environmentalist? Suddenly the beauty of Alaska is interesting why? Just because Palin was a retarded candidate who lost an election, and she just happens to be from Alaska? Please, what garbage. You better hope she doesn't quit in the middle of filming. Ha, ha, ha. Discovery and TLC are going downhill fast, they don't even have interesting shows anymore, and they continue to prove it with garbage like this.
I can see it now:
Alaska was discovered by a Russian named Bering in a ship inefficiently built by the government which is why it crashed and sank when discovering an Alaskan Island. In 1867 a Republican named Seward secured the purchase of Alaska by the United States. In 1880, Joseph Juneau and Richard Harris, on an expedition using no government funding, found gold. Juneau said, "Dig, baby, dig!" and soon the town of Juneau was established by many gold miners. In the meantime, socialist Tlingit Indian tribes caused problems with claims made on what they called "their" land, but as they had no property certificates they were obviously lying liberals.
There's nothing remarkable about Sarah Palin. She couldn't even finish her term being governor. We don't need to hear the story of Alaska from her, I'll watch the Discovery Channel. I don't know what people see in her, she's a gloried pig with lipstick on!
Something Positive.....but REMEMBER, ....She's a TRANSPLANT !!!
It's trualy remarkable that only in America can we see these possibilities. Only in America, can mean spirited person who promotes violance be rewarded a television show. Only in America, can we see a fighter quite's in the middle of her own cirsis yet uses heroic mythology to exploit fellow Citizen. Only Iin America, do we see these things happing; a leader so gifted with charms of extrime rhetoric in public arena is seen as Patriots, a leader that could use her gender to bring Citizen together yet chooses to reload her pockets with millions from sport politics. Only in America is this story possible. We speak hit you reload our pocket inspit of your high unemployments, big wars, budget cirsis, millions of undocumented immigrants situations, millions of un-insured hard working Americans, difficult housing market, and crippling infrastructures, I will give you what you want to here and make my millions.
TLC has reached a new low. It was one of my favorite channels....no longer. The woman borders on being moronic.
This is so hilarious....well hopefully they have people that can tell Sarah about Alaska so she actually has a clue about Alaska. Perhaps it should be called "Sarah Palin: How to make money without knowing a thing."
Is the public this foolish and gullable? Still?
DeeDee, nice post. I was born and raised in alaska, and i do not identify with either political party- i am a TRUE alaskan. the kind that votes with their brain and not with their wallet. There is a huge reason why alaska was one of the first states to legalize medicinal marijuana and is still considered a red state.
Fact of the matter is that Palin is representing partisan politics that plague the 48 continental states and were absent from her speeches BEFORE she was thrust onto the national stage. THAT sarah palin everyone loved. Thats how she was elected governor in the first place, she rallied against the partisan politics that Frank Murkowski represented when he was governor. A true alaskan would remember that. A true alaskan remembers Palin from that era, the one before the BS. and no, i dont mean her laughable 6 year degree that she ended up with. What she is now is a mockery of the state of alaska.
TLC
Total Loser Channel
Never in a million years would I have predicted that this woman's 10 minutes of fame would have lasted this long. She is an embarrassment to our gender - one of the most unintelligent, uneducated, closed-minded and divisive personalities I have ever seen rise to such popularity. Her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard and her "charming" little witticisms are snarky and inane.
I love Alaska, but will not watch this show. Shame on you, Discovery Channel! What in the heck were you thinking??
We love you Sarah, go for it! Thanks TLC.
Will she be taking the viewers on a helicopter wolf hunt?
Did Fox News buy the Discovery Channel?
"remarkable governor" she QUIT what's so remarkable about that and I guess if it's her Alaska we should get ready for bloodshed is she gonna take us on a hunting field trip? I really expect more out of Discovery that to let someone who will do anything to keep her dopey name in the public have a show. Can't we just forget about her already.
Wow – lots of haters here. I pity you for your negativity and closed minds.
Wonder if she will quit the show after a couple of episodes. And why does everyone refer to her as Governor Palin . . . she quit that job and does not deserve the Gov reference/title with her name.
Great move TLC! You're giving a show to a person who abruptly quit her job as Governor of the state you are featuring. Not to mention, if it was up to her "Alaska's powerful beauty " would be carved up by oil companies.
I used to think that Discovery stands for something. They will go down with this project and they will loose most of their viewers, and people that will watch her don't even believe in dinosaurs. Go figure.
People don't get this woman, we think she is fake she is not sincere, she will do anything for money and its never about the country. I can't believe we will have to put up with her for the rest of our life's, thanks McCain and by the way that's how you going to be remembered. Some people sad that she should be arrested for promoting violence on her Facebook, I sad "yea sure" they giving her a million dollars just to show her pro-life face on Discovery channel. Violence, pro-live just doesn't match.
TLC is openly supporting Ms. Palin as a potential polictical candidate by giving her this time to up her exposure. Surely they are aware of this and must be supporting her goals. I am a fan of many of the programs showing how America lives, but this is a fake attempt for political purposes. Shame on you TLC.
For all of you that are commenting about the "Russia seen from her house", your argument might carry more weight if you ACTUALLY made a correct statement. If you cannot differentiate facts from a joke performed in SNL, then I would look in the mirror before you call someone ignorant and illiterate.
In addition, since I am sure that 99% of you have never visited Alaska have no knowledge about the oil business, it might come as a surprise to you that Alaska is one of the most environmental conscious state when it comes to oil exploration and no, you cannot just drill anywhere. Please educate yourself and contact the other states that cull wolves since you are so incensed. Better yet, donate some money to buy wolves and I am sure that Alaskans would trap them instead and send them over to your neighborhood. I am sure that when they start killing your pets and harming your family, you will think twice about it.
She's a right wing racist. I'm so disappointed in Discovery.
we made fun of miss south carolina for her "maps" answer and palin makes her look like a genius. i can't believe this bimbo gets a million dollar an episode show. TLC just lost another viewer.
I can't wait to watch. Sarah definitely lights up a room with her charisma and I know it will show on TV too. Especially when it's about the state she loves.
This is what entertainment has come to the BIMBO from Alaska gets to show the world how our politicians really are. Sarah Palin is a common dirt bag of a politician she screwed Alaska and the Republican Party now she is going to screw TLC. Once they put her on, I will shut them off. Thank You TLC for stooping to the gutter.
well there is one thing she seems to be good at- producing downies. Shes still fertile for a few more years, maybe her and Todd should get to making more downies and THEN TLC MIGHT actually have a subject that fits into their current programming. you could call it "The R Word with Sarah Palin" or something ridiculous like that.
Sara Palin is a joke beyond any joke that isn't even funny. She is a quitter and a LOSER. SHE certainly does NOT represent what my home (been in Alaska 42 years) is about. I would love to see her leave Alaska with her trashy family and NEVER come back. GO SARA GO - has a whole new meaning – GO and NEVER come back.
I don't why TLC would have Sarah Palin's show on their channel. All the trailer park folks that support her only have antennas for watching local stations.
How lame is that. All the exposure she gets and she only rates a mini-series on a third tier cable channel. Maybe you should try yet another career. You're bound to get it right one day, Sarah.
I had no idea the Discovery Channel was owned by idiots. What a shame.
I'd rather watch paint dry.
Can't this awful, blithering idiot of a woman please go away.
Congratulations Sarah. It's about time they put a woman on the air with something between her ears. You accomplished a lot contrary to what the previous posters have said. Not just anyone can be a Governor nor run for the President of the United States. I am so very tired of the tv shows featuring women who have way too many kids. Ever heard the words OVER POPULATION! What feat is that?
Angry? No, it’s just TV and if you don’t like it, change the channel. It’s as simple as that. But honestly, no matter what your politics, IQ, ethics, race or religion might be, how can anyone stand behind and defend any person who quit only half way through a Governorship? Remember, it’s a job Palin swore under oath to the state of Alaska to fulfill. Palin can’t get anymore unpatriotic then giving up on a job only halfway through that thousands of people supported and voted her in to do. So are all you Palin supporters quitters to?
GO AWAY!!!
what are you dems afraid of? You wish you had a pretty gal in your corner....get over it, she is hired to be on a show just like IL gov, Rob Lagosonofabitch, why is that o.k., but not sarah??
I will no longer be watching TLC. First Kate Gosselin, now Sarah Palin...apparently "TLC" has become code for "pandering to the lowest common denominator." And I do mean "lowest."
I hope they show the footage of hunting down wolves from helicopters and slaughtering them when they are too exhausted to run. And killing cubs in their dens, this would be real family entertainment, the kind Palin particularly endorses. Shame on you Discovery.
I wonder if she will show us the arial shootings of the Wolves? Thanks Sarah for supporting the killing of wolves and their pups for $150 a shot to save the caribou which get $15,000 a pop from your big supporter..The Hunting Lobby!!! She is such the naturalist.
Not only complain about Sarah Palin here on CNN, but go to discovery.com and let them know how unhappy you are about them employing Palin. I absolutely will not watch this programming, although I would love to know more about Alaska.
I now know what TLC stands for " The Losers Channel" Thank goodness they didn't taint my Discovery channel for this schlock.
All I have to say is, if Sarah is choosing to speak about Alaska, I hope TLC doesn't have her speaking about Russia too. You know she can see it from her backyard. Anyway, this woman is a JOKE ! The whole crib note thing was heelarryous ! (Not spelled right on purpose) It is sad to me that so many people think so much of her.. I have to agree with another blogger that stated "all it was , was a female running for VP....and her daughter having a kid? Dang if that’s what it takes to get paparazzi and tabloids and "famous"....we can all do it! Get our own reality show..." Every time I see a bumper sticker with her and McCain... I have to laugh.. Did he ask her last minute to get the female vote? Why her? She is an idiot !
The only remarkable thing about Sarah Palin is she managed to learn how to tie her shoes.
i love how the new republican moniker is that dems are mad because shes attractive... HAH. thats fine, the "libs" as you "repubs" like to put it are generally represented by the younger, more affluential portion of the voting populace anyway, which includes a great deal of hollywood stars and starlets. Might i remind you that your "hot" palin is in her mid forties and will soon look like every other old bag around (that is, unless she goes nuts with the plastic surgery- and having met her before and know exactly the type of woman she is, I can almost guarantee you that this will happen. Yes, a good deal of alaskans have met palin BEFORE her little outing to the nation. What she is now is completely contrary to what she was before)
She has a nice butt
Todd, you don't need to make posts on here to defend your wife. Yes, we get that she is an attractive woman. Does that lend credence to her being a president? since when do politicians appearance even matter anyway? IF we elected a dumbass like sarah palin to be our president, the rest of the world might have to nuke us into oblivion based off of pure principle. Nothing so stupid should be allowed to wield so much power in this world.
yes...i do agree tho it is a waste of TIME, air time, and money!! what's next she's gonna be on...Survivor? "I Love Money 3""???
This honestly makes me ashamed to be an Alaskan. Ask most people living there these days and they will tell you what they think of sarah palin: the same that everyone else does of her. She should NOT be representing alaska in this publicity stun- i mean television series. Seriously, get a real alaskan, someone who was actually BORN here and didnt quit when the job got tough in the middle of their term as governor. Sarah Palin was born in Idillaho, not alaska. She graduated from the University of Idaho (not even the best school in Idaho) with a degree in communications.... and journalism.... yeah, reeeaaaaaaaal qualified for whatever political office she set her eyes on.
They should have got an Iditarod musher or something to do this series.
Could somebody please point out Palin's hypocrisy in pretending to be a "normal" gal, a joe-six-pack advocate, when she is getting millions just to lend her name to any project. Decent folks like most Americans work for a living and this capitalist gluttony is what destroying our society. Selling an empty product is not a family value.
How can she be a commentary about Alaska when she doesn't even know where Russia is ?? I think the TLC channel seems to be looking in the bottom of the barrel to find someone to do a show for their channel...I will not watch her little show about Alaska...I really cannot stand listening to Sarah or watching her...she is so stupid, she can't even talk about things..she just wallors around subjects.. If TLC can't have more respect for their channel, I will no longer watch it..and quit calling her Governor..she is not a Governor..she walked away to be in the spotlight..thats what she is interested in..not this country. I don't care what political party someone belongs to..I listen to them, watch them, etc so my distaste of her has nothing to do with political parties..she must never get near the White House..never,,,
Yea! You go Sarah. I'll watch every episode about your beautiful State.
Haha- Ignorant.*
quite frankly Sarah can do whatever she wants in her life as far as profession goes LOL!! just like...i'm doing whtever i like...EMT...Recording engineer...graphic designer...I'M DOING IT ALL!! show em/tell em how we are in AK Sarah!
although...i really don't see what makes her, her daughter...and levi all famous...all it was , was a female runnin for VP....and her daughter having a kid? dang if thats what it takes to get paparazzi and tabloids and "famous"....we can all do it! get our own reality show...
the media needs to stop putting Palin front and center. seems like every other day there's some media story having to do with Palin. Enough already!!!
They are so negative, I.am a fan of Sarah Palin, I'am excited and looking
forward to see the documentary about Alaska. GO SARAH , GO!!!!
Contact your Cable or satellite provider and voice your self about this evil woman!
So far Reddit has voiced theirs to Discovery Channel and now TLC.
But don't forget the cable/sat companies either.
She really doesn't care about doing a documentary about Alaska. She's just in and out for the buck. That's all it is.
Liz,
Ignorance, really? Yes I am a middle of the road American. But I’m not blind, deaf and dumb. Yes, she sure does know what she’s doing... Quitting a very important job she was sworn in to fulfill and then selling out her constituents to make lots and lots of money. Liz, open you eyes up and get with…
Wow, so much anger, and so little information. It tells me more about the author than the subject they hate. Are you just jealous that she's so hot and you are not? Seriously, wow, you guys are REALLY pissed, and best I can tell, 90 percent of you happen to hate her politics, without which she'd just be another hot chick. It's encouraging to see how much emotion she inspires; that's what gives viability to her candidacy. If people were ambivalent then she could never have won an election in the first place! Personally, I never thought I'd see a half-black president in my lifetime. Just goes to show how far America has changed, and proves to me that even a woman could get elected nowadays. Wow! I don't care if Palin gets elected, but I *do* care if Hillary gets elected! Do I want America's first woman president to be some old bag? No way! When we get our first female president, I want her to look GOOD representing US! Palin will do, but she is a rarity in politics, most female politicians are hard on the eyes.
Let me gets this straight , this women tried to be a vice president failed and now she is trying to cash in her fame . The sad part is that she is one of the people trying to promote hate and violence in this Great Country . One she needs to stick with one thing and be good at it . I won't be news to me if next she is on dancing with the stars show !!!! lOl that would be really funnny . I am sorry but she is among the most air heads who just speak but not think
Ha! That's funny...anything to make a buck!
@RVE – They don't have to worry about health care because the president as well as Congress get health care for the rest of their lives. They don't need to worry because they will have it. Get a clue!
Sure you right-wingers love Sarah! So great watch the show and fuel her next campaign. Meanwhile all those "tree huggers" will be in Alaska fighting to keep that beauty. While Palin tries to lease it out to the highest bidder willing to strip it clear of all it's resources.
Looking forward to seeing the series about Alaska
and TLC could not have found a better person than Sarah Palin to illustrate it.
Good for the Discovery channel.
And yes I read her book and found her highly intelligent as well as very patriotic, a true American.
Sarah Palin is such a hypocritical IGORNORANT person. I agree with banning TLC because of her show, and all discovery channels as a matter of fact.
I think the majority of viewers are probably pretty upset about this, and discovery channel will soon learn that its either: (A) Get rid of Palin, or (B) Lose the majority of its viewers. This is definitely one of the biggest jokes yet to come for Sarah Palin.
I guess that I will be cancelling my cable subscription to TLC and Discovery Channel which I watch faithfully and frequently. I am not so concerened about the politics of the person; but the divisiveness, fear generation and hatemongering that the person condones and promotes.
Ryan
Good thing they aren't capitalizing on her "fame" while she's using it as PR and Outreach for her next candidacy.
Sarah is honestly an embarrasment to the State of Alaska. Plus, she QUIT her job, mid term. If it once was her state, it isn't anymore. Please don't call her governor. Quitter or drama queen would be more accurate.
Wow! I never knew that there were so many "ladies" of the hairy-legged variety that hated Sarah Palin. That alone makes her program a must-see! Couple that with the beautiful Alaskan outdoors and a gracious hostess and this show is an instant hit!
BJ, I am looking forwad to watching Sarah Palin show off Alaska!
I will record it so my 4 grandchildren can see that beautiful state!
Travel is too expensive, so this way they will be able to see it "live" rather than in book form!
Thanks TLC. ...much better than fake, bad mother KATE!!! She just wants eight of HERSELF!
TLC figures they'll make big money/ratings off this stupid lipstick wearin' pig-I just hope it blows up in their face and bombs big time!!!!!!!!!
Oil vs polar bears- Take all of the polar bears, put them in a museum, and charge a dollar and a half to go see them.
Heaven help us.
One of the great things about a remote control and cable is that a person can choose to either watch or not watch a television program if they so desire. Personally, I think it appropriate that the former Governor of Alaska presents her State to the people. Oh, by the way, it is appropriate to use the title "Governor" to a former Governor unless the person has gone on to a higher title such as President or Senator.
Second – I dont' know where most of you studied your history but I would remind the person claiming that the Republican party is the party of slavery of this one fact: Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.
One could also point out that the Democratic Party was the party in power in most ot the Southern states from the time of Reconstruction until the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This was during the "Jim Crow" years – laws passed by Democratic controlled state houses that denied minorities of their rights and privileges.
Lastly, most of the people posting here show their complete intolerance of any point of view other than their own. To be certain, Sarah Palin has a very conservative lean – but that doesn't make her immoral or a racist or any of the other names listed above.
To Al Janus: Democrats, get a life! She is an excellent speaker and has always spoken well of Alaska. Why do you fear her so?
Why do you confuse fear with LOATHING?????
I so cannot wait to see the SNL skit on this bit!?!?!
So many of these right-wingers here and elsewhere say the liberals hate Palin b/c we don't have anyone "hot" like her. Actually, liberals hate Palin b/c she's an idiot, a liar and a craven opportunist. She can't survive in politics; she needs the warm, soft and brain-numbing realm of a TV series or talk show to spew forth her outmoded divide and conquer self-righteous redneck crapola.
Wow, all you demo- libbers are really wound up about my honey Sarah. You should know in the big scheme of things this cable show means nothing, or does it? If Sarah is so stupid & unwatchable as you say dont watch it. But you cant, you have to tune in because your sweatin moose antlers about this gun totin deer killin down to earth Alaskan hottie taking back this country from you knuckleheads. We are done with your liberal B.S. Our military will continue to keep you safe, we will conceal & carry protecting our family & property and we will watch Sarah on TLC if we choose too. Complain all you want because its almost over for you! Dont forget to tune in-
Shes kinda hot in that picture? As long as she never spoke shed be a MILF
Sorry, but Sarah is not "one of Alaska's proudest daughters" as stated by Mr. Liguori. She was neither born nor raised in Alaska, & though she may be proud of her present state of residence, I doubt that the state is proud of her.
the ignorance goes both ways to conservatives and liberals.
she knows what she is doing,she wants to make money and that
is what this country is all about.she is no longer interest in 2012.
closed-mindness is in both sides conservatives and liberals.remember that most people in this country are in the middle.
i honestly donot believe that she represents most women in the US.
she is however the mother of a special needs child and that is not
easy to do.both sides get with.
I read earlier on CNN that she will get a million dollars an episode (go to politics section on CNN.com if you don’t believe me)!!! If anyone is wondering why she quit only half way through her term as Governor of Alaska…. She sold out her constituents in her own state… She could have done what she was sworn in to do for the state of Alaska, serve her four years as Governor of Alaska and then make her Millions. Wholesome values and someone you can trust to finish the job you were elected to do even if the going gets tough? Million dollars an episode says it all…. Such great work ethics!!! And what a great moral values lesson. Why fulfill your duties to your state and country even if it is under tough conditions when you can just quit to make lots of money… Now that’s a maverick!!!
It's funny that her show is about "Alaska's beauty", yet she is responsible for killing the native creatures of Alaska. How Christian like!
What the heck are they going to document...her numerous gaffes and stupidity or the fact that she quit her job as governor of Alaska? Is this really necessary to inflict on the American public? Will this woman ever just go away? A million an episode...that greedy pig wins again!
TLC & Discovery suck!
Unbelievable! Have Discovery and The Learning Channel lost their collective minds. I don't understand how two respected educational stations could stoop to bring this vile woman, who advocates for killing animals from planes and potentially destroying habitat and environment with her "Drill, Baby Drill" mantra, into our homes to share "her" Alaska! I just struck TLC and Discovery off my viewing list.. Sarah Palin is a money hungry, exploitive, not very bright, narrow minded quitter. This is a role model for our children? I think not.
TLC and Discovery may want to re-think this! I will contact both TLC and discovery with my thoughts and outrage.
And now TLC becomes a sponsor of Sarah Palin? We are to believe Ms. Palin has now risen from the ashes of a ridiculous bid for the vice presidency of the US after stumbling over minor facts and demonstrating her ignorance regarding financial, civil, and economic data to become a "dynamic personality." We have been fans of TLC for years, but assure you that will not be the case in the future.
I had respect for TLC. Not anymore. Sarah Palin is not someone who I would like to watch on TV. All you are doing is giving this person their extended 15 minutes of fame and contributing to their personal campaign to ruin the republican party. I am a democract, but am saddened that she and her tea party followers will be the demise of the republican party. It is a party with justifiable values that balance the democratic party. She is just leading a pack of uninformed people under the republican flag, which is not right. She is only doing this to stay in the spot light and not be forgotten. A total hypocrite and does not deserve to be called "remarkable." What did she do that was so "remarkable?" She was so ignorant that she even thought Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11. Please, please TLC, do not go down this route. You will lose so much respect from many of your viewers. Next time I turn on the TV, I'll be looking at Bravo.
to all you people who think the people who comment on this board are hate mongers. Maybe you want to check out Sarah Palin's facebook page and you will see who the real hate monger is. SARAH PALIN IS THE REAL HATE MONGER.
I love just saying the name, "Saha Palin" and how much it upsets the Left. 🙂
A documentary is a scripted narrative about a specific topic. A reality show is an unscripted show about people. This is clearly not a reality show. Only the left can make a documentary about a state controversial – lol.
The true reality show happens every time Joe Biden is on camera...lolololol....
TLC marketing survey, with comment fields: http://bit.ly/9WWavI
I love Discovery and TLC and Discovery I.D. and Science and all the channels that are part of the Discovery group, but as soon as I see one commercial promoting this show, I will no longer watch any of these channels and their programming.
The Hateful Democrats are at it again. The Democratic Party wished they had somene like Sarah Palin, all they have is Barrack Obama, who will be finished after the 2012 elections.
Get over yourselves..bunch of whinny liberals.
I usually watch TLC to gain brain cells and get smarter...watching anything Sarah Palin just sucks you into her void of stupidity. TLC will successfully kill off billions of brain cells.
She'll quit after 4 episodes.
No matter how much the media and the Republican Party try to repackage this woman, they will never have a viable candidate for President in her. This is an absolutely amazing thing to watch though! No offense to Sarah Palin and I don't mean this literally to her, but no matter how much you polish a turd, in the end, it's still a turd! She may be a nice person and probably an intelligent person (just by the fact she was the Governor of Alaska) but in the end, she is NOT capable enough to run this country nor will she ever be.
Perhaps we will get to see the side of Sarah Palin I have always wanted to see. When she talks about politics I usually cringe. But if she is going to be on a show about Alaska that might be interesting. I would love to hear her opinion on which of the Susitna tributaries has the best salmon run and when. I'll bet she could give a darn good answer to that question.
Now if this had been a democrat I am sure you people would be bowing down and pouring on the praise.
I am so happy to see this! I love how Mrs. Palin, is able to help so many Americans think, and talk. I do not agree with all of her idea's, but I can say the same about the liberal Obama.
I'm just HAPPY that so many of us are talking, thinking, and expressing thoughts.
Thank you Discovery Channel, and thank you Sarah!
TLC is pretty much at the rock bottom now. Between Jon and Kate, 19 kids and counting, LA Ink, Toddlers and Tiaras and a dozen other shows with midgets, this channel has nothing to offer anymore. This used to be my main channel to watch but now I never bother anymore. I mean seriously, Cake Boss? Really? That's interesting? TLC is supposed to stand for The Learning Channel but what is there to learn about parents who dress their kids up like whores. They completely lost their mission. Turn it on now and I bet there is a guy baking a cake or a parent exploiting their child.
I wanted to add that I have never voted democrate before this woman came along. I'm an army wife and still voted for "W" twice. I volunteered time with the McCain campaign in my area until he chose her. It is not only liberals who hate this woman. I did not especially want to vote for Obama, but I could not in clear conscience vote for McCain knowing that this ignorant woman would be one heart beat away from the presidency. She encompasses all that is grossly wrong in america at this point in time. I just hope we have a republican candidate that will appeal to America, because if it is Satan...ummm...Sarah...against Obama I will surely be voting for him again. She exemplifies ignorance, close mindedness, and the desire to force everyone to live by her values. I want to decide what books my children have in school, not Sarah Palin. I will not watch this show simply because she is earning money from it. Me not watching it won't change that, but at the same time I don't want to watch it and thus support her.
What a nightmare, Sarah Pailin again and again, is she that needed for attention? Chip way for exposure. Losers? American people , honest people, real women with values and brains and society as a whole. Unbelievable that Discovery is giving its reputable platform to such an instigator of hatred, racism covered by her so called love for America. She is a joke and so will be Discovery. Will look for geography some where else.
– The women who hate Sarah Palin speak so evil of her because she represents everything they wish they could be but are not. May these enemies fade away into the night. God, may you continue to bless Sarah Palin!
– The men who hate Sarah Palin speak evil of her because they fear what she would do in a position of power which is hold people accountable regardless of party. May these enemies fade away into the night. We desperately need accountability in Washington DC. Lord, may you continue to bless Sarah Palin!
– Lastly Lord, we don't need socialism, as individuals we just need to acknowledge you. Obama has had his opportunity and failed. Could he be an example of one that honors with his lips but his heart is far from you? If so Lord, please give us more leaders whose hearts are close to you. May you continue to bless the USA!
Discovery and TLC have hit a new low! I only read two positive comments to this announcement indicating this is a big mistake. TLC, where do you think that a good chunk of this Million per episode will go? To support Palin's Political Pac to "Target" Dems that voted for healthcare for all of America. To help the wing nuts "reload" and incite more violence based on political voting records. Will Discovery and TLC be funding (as allowed by the Supreme Court) more wacked out Republicans in November? Palin and her kind (Rove, Beck, Hannity) have helped to destroy civil discussion of important issues facing this country...
I agree Sarah Palin does not deserve her own reality show. She has a child with down syndrome and a teen daughter who is trying to raise a child when she herself IS A CHILD! As an american i feel like everyone has a story and i belive that Sarah Palin has a story herself i think it will be something intresting to see how she does everything and handles all the pressure of motherhood and being the ex-govenor of Alaska.
Leave Sarah alone!!! Your lucky she even performed for you bastards!!!!
Just one more indication that American television has gone completely to the dogs. Even a dolt like Jessica Simpson would have a more enlightening political viewpoint to espouse than the excremental Mrs. Palin.
As long as she keeps her politics out of it, it could be ok. I can't stand the woman's politics, but I think people should be fair and not blast the show. Who knows, if this works out for her, maybe it will be her new career and she'll leave politics alone! Now that's something to hope for!
What is wrong with just not watching it if you don't want to ?
Where is the tolerance I keep getting preached about from the left ?
Chuck, I think we've all heard enough to know what Sarah Palin is about. DO. NOT. WANT.
I cannot believe ANYONE at Discovery believes Sarah Palin has a "dynamic personality...". We've only been watching to see a preview of Tina Fey's material. I was utterly appalled to read she is going to do a series on Alaska. Quite sure there are many other individuals out there fully capable of telling Alaska's story. Can't imagine she'll see this through either. She flits from thing to thing like a butterfly, never staying long enough to complete anything. Sarah's record on the environment , wildlife, family life, etc is pretty dismal. Also can't believe Discovery is paying that obscene amount of money to her.
This is one person who won't be tuning in or watching any Discovery program again – and we watch a lot of Discovery. How can we find out which companies are going to advertise on her program – or other Discovery programs – and let them know we will no longer purchase their goods?
Why in the world does Disvcovery channel want to use Sarah palin to represent Alaska. They may have forgotten that she disowned that state as soon as she resigned as its governor after only a few months. They should have approached some one else to do it. Does Palin live in Alaska any more. She seem to be in the mailand most of the time busy with her get rich schemes.
Is TLC the same network that had Kate Gosselin? If so, they providing a platform for another nutcase.
Eight evenings when I will have a cure for my insomnia!
Why run a documentary, her inbred mutant family is ready made for reality TV.
Wake up people! Just like Beck and Limbaugh, she's laughing all the way to the bank. They are all entertainers.....nothing more.
What's with the hat? She looks like a latin american dictator.
Another comedy show!!
What has this pseudo-intellectual of a "bail-out" ex-governor done for Alaska???
I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and the Iraq everywhere like such as and I believe that....
To Marianne: THANK YOU FOR COMMENT!!!
I got an idea for a show. It's called "Sarah Palin goes back to college...again". Every time that woman opens her mouth she damages not only her own image but those of people associated with her.
There was a time when the only television I wanted was Discovery, TLC, and History Channel. During the past 6-8 years, the "reality" crap has infested what used to be quality educational and documentary programming. TLC was the first to go down the toilet, and now Discovery hangs on by a thread (with the occasional release of quality programming like "Life"). History is has become the paranormal garbage channel.
I already have enough reasons not to watch TLC, I didn't need one more.
Sure I'd love to watch the natural beauty of Alaska on TV. Maybe I'll wait until PBS re-airs the Scenic Railways of America mini-series, or order a copy of Ken Burns' National Parks: America's Best Idea.
Compelling to tell a story? What are they thinking.
There is nothing compelling about someone who is inarticulate and her radical views are highly twisted.
She resigned as Governor to become a reality star and think she was almost Vice President. This lady is so contradictory!!
She's probably only going to make one episode then quit. Why not make a show about me and give ME $1 million per episode? I mean cmon i have the same qualifications. I'm reallly lazy, I never follow through on anything, I hate all majorities, I hate all minorities only more, I'm nostalgic, I split up members of my own cliques, I advocate getting money for nothing, I have experience dealing with children because I watch them through binoculars at my house, I lack any amount of intelligent/coherent thought. . . wait what was i saying? fgsfds
Palin may be a loving mother, no one would attempt to deny that. To claim that liberal women are bothered by this is just insulting. I am bothered primarily by the fact that she uses Alaska's inherent beauty as part of her advertising campaign whilst she does nothing to protect it-quite the opposite really. And how can I have any respect for a politician that grabs on to any money making endeavor?
I'm sure TLC will make a good buck on the program, along with Palin. A lot of people will probably watch, including myself, in order to learn how a former cheerleader/weathergirl with no political or communication skills made it as far as she did. I'm guessing it was just "dumb" luck....
I am so proud of Sarah Palin and all that she has accomplished in
her life. To have a good idea isto have a lot of ideas. I am looking
forward to learningmore about Alaska, one of our states. I wish her
well in all her future endeavors. As Americans we should always
look for the good in people and not try to tear others down.
My husband is from Alaska and Sarah Palin is the most self serving, hypocritical, dishonest and evil person you could have selected to tell the story of Alaska. She quit the people of Alaska to pursue the almighty dollar. When will the media stop allowing this nitwit to rape our wallets. Now if you were doing a story on the Wild Alaskan Dingbat, then you picked the perfect subject. You have lost us as viewers and we will be writing your sponsors and boycotting their products as well.
I hope they don't plan on too many views. It should have been a show about vengeful women, with her as the host because she knows the most about being one. What a waste of air time!
You know, you call the GOP the party of hate and repression, but it is all of you liberals on here that want to censor Sarah Palin and spew all kinds of hate towards her and anyone that might be interested in her or her viewpoints. Isn't the point of democracy to hear all sides and then make an informed decision of your own? How is that possible if you will only allow the media to put on people that you like and agree with? The hypocrisy and closed-mindedness of liberals is unreal.
She is raking in the $$. So whatever you want but her family won't be missing any meals like the rest of you jealous slobs. Classic.
Oh, yay! I can hardly wait to see the alaska that would host a good ol' fashion book burning, doesn't know where Iraq is, doesn't know why we're at war, knows nothing of history, thinks bad grammar is cute and endearing, and can ruin a presidential campaign in less than a month. Seriously, I'm sure there is someone else who could show us Alaska.
I agree with Mike. Being forced to watch Sarah Palin and hear that god awful shrill voice, or have my finger nails torn out...I would have to toss a coin to decide.
TLC just went on my blocked list on my cable box. Promoting closed mindedness and ignorance is not acceptable to me.
How unfortunate – all the hate – the resentment, the negative spewing over another human being. I guess these are all "adults". Regardless, this kind of separative talk speaks ill of our ability to find that place of right human relations and goodwill. No one has to like another's personality – but are we so ignorant and negatively filtered that we cannot see beyond to antoher's good works – that we might not perhaps consider giving public service a try ourselves, providing something good – leaving something good – in our names. This level of abuse disguises something in the speaker – something that will surely circle around its toxicity to the source.
I love how Mr. Dayton calls Palin "politically passionate" – SHE QUIT THE GOVERNORSHIP. Someone needs to explain to me how you can be politically passionate and walk out on your sworn commitment to your state. She's an embarassment, and TLC should be ashamed of themselves.
To TLC, if this show goes on the air I am gone forever as a viewer and I as one will assist in any wide scale boycott of network and it's sponsors. Get real here.
I will boycott!! Palin's a domestic terrorist!
Sounds great. Sarah is an ambassador for her state.
Put your partisan politics aside and enjoy entertainment.
God help us all.
Really? Sarah Pahlin is a joke. If I want to watch a special on Alaska I sure wouldn't watch one that has Sarah Palin in it. Come on TLC, really, you haven't learned from the train wreck know as Kate + 8. Find a real show to air and maybe someone will watch. Sarah Palin...moved to Russia. Do us all a favor.
Palin out to make another $ at the expense of Alaskans – calling it Sarah Palin's Alaska? What a joke. She should be attending Klan meetings.
How sad, TLC, The Discovery Channel & all their subsidiaries have finally sunk to their all time "reality" low – that it's all about money. This has nothing to do with "discovery" or "learning", it has to do with greed.
Sarah Palin learned this & is doing quite well for herself now. Even though many of us will never ever watch these channels again, I am sure the additional viewers or should I say voyeurs, they will attract somehow is worth it to the executives who made this decision. If this person of no consequence is worth a million dollars an episode then I have no respect anymore for The Discovery Channel. For Sarah & this network "show me the money" should be their theme song. And how disappointing there are so many people willing to throw their hard earned money in their direction. I'm sure the state of Alaska & conservation groups would love to have even one episode of her paycheck to do something of significance for Alaska.
How disappointing – how disturbing that we are sinking to this level.
Sarah Palin is proof that 5 hours spent in the morning in front of a mirror with highly trained makeup professionals can fool most people all the time.
There is absolutely NOTHING hot about Sarah Palin. Nothing about her is in anyway hot. LOL. Because she is not god awfully ugly GOPers get all warm in fuzzy in their bibs.
These GOPers who like her because she has a full set of teeth is laughable. Her nose looks like she could suck up a Giant Slurpy on one inhale.
This is ridiculous, and you've just lost another viewer.
Excellent. I look forward to this event. Too bad for all the Sara Palin haters in the world. Arn't they just awful awful people.
Ohh man, and I love the discovery channel... What is amazing about documenting a Retarded mother? (yes Sarah, I said Retard)
I have seen shows on discovery about the tallest person alive, the shortest person alive, the fattest person alive, and now I guess its a show on the most Useless person alive... Guess who wont be tuning in!
Palin is a remarkable woman–a great politician, a brilliant person who speaks common language and not Washington mush, and a loving mother and wife (which seems to bother liberal women–weird). Mostly, Palin's detractors are just jealous of her.
Another thought....will Discovery show the footage of "Don't retreat...reload" Palin shooting wolves from a helicopter? How is that consistent with their programming?
Seriously??? When will this woman just go away? and yet there are people who REALLY believe she can be our next president? Seriously???
Who said she is easy on the eyes? She is a manly woman, huge nostrils and take away the makeup and hair and eyeliner and you have a man's big square face. I have no cable to watch her nor could you pay me to watch her, as soon as she speaks, it is worse than nails on a blackboard scratching away. She is not pro-life, after all she believes in the death penalty, you can't sentence anyone to death if you are pro-life, no euthanasia, no abortion, no death penalty, I guess she thinks she can pick and choose and label herself pro-life.
She is not a governor as she is not in the position and never completed her term. That title is reserved for those who complete the job. She seeks fame and only fame, why work for a few dollars as governor when she can earn a million per episode? Money talks.
Sarah Palin is not an educator. She is the poster child for closed minds.
Hey TLC,
Thanks for keeping this ambitious, not overly bright, not even close to being qualified, campaign killing, egotistical, opportunistic, glory grabbing, LYING, distorting, anti-American, crazy Pentecostal, believer in witches, evolution denying, exploiter of her Downs Syndrome child, failure to keep her teenage daughter from becoming pregnant out of wedlock, accusatory of others she deems less worthy or LESS AMERICAN, waste of space on television.
You guys rock. Not.
The only 'remarkable' thing about this woman is her need for FAME.
She is a loser.
Rock on ,Sarah...you go girl..looking forward to watching the show.
And looking forward to the elections..
TLC must be hard up for ratings/attention lately. They're more into the tabloid, pop culture trainwrecks than substantive programming the last few years. Sad. I've cut back on my TLC viewing due to the CRAZINESS of the programming during the last couple of years ("Toddlers & Tiaras", anyone?), and I am totally disgusted by TLC allowing an 8-EPISODE platform for Sarah Palin to spew her hate. I also will not watch TLC (nor will I Tivo the few shows I like on that network) at all any more if they air her ridiculousness. Come on, TLC, you were better than that.
After that TLC could do a documentary called moms who look the other way when their family is need or falling to peices. Other guests could inlcude Kate (form the Kate +8), the Octo Mom, and mothers of children who have become an ill to society.
Sarah Palin's Alaska, come on TLC there are better Alaskans more qualified and distinguished then her. She didn't or couldn't even reign as Governor the full time. If your heading down this path how about the following: Howard Stern's New York, Charles Manson's California, George Bush's Texas, Mariyln Manso's Nevada, and John Gotti Jr.'s New Jersey.
How utterly intolerant of all of you all. Your incredible snide tones should be reserved for someone who is deserving of that – such as the tyrannically insane speaker of the house – Ms. Pelosi. She's worthy of quite a bit of derision for circumventing democracy.
Still, look, if you think you should criticize this interesting and compelling personage, Ms Palin, that is, based on her career path or intelligence, I am just wondering how many of you are actually current or former or, even, future Governors of a State. I am suspectng the answer is none. So, you can put a cork in the "I'm smarter than Sarah Palin b.s."
She didn't get elected, she almost assuredly never will be President of the United States, so you can stop hating her for having the "audacity of hope" that she would one day amount to something far beyond her wildest dreams. But, I guess, in your view, the only ones allowed to aspire for anything are either victims of this society or guys like Rod Blagoyevich. You don't seem very even handed or even throughtful. You hate what she is and stands for without keeping an open mind. That's your intolerance.
Simple idea....email Discovery. Tell them you are going to boycott their channels entirely by removing them from your remote. A civil display of your disagreement with their decision. I already sent my email.
Discovery is a Great Channel, but she really should have been on "Are you smarter than a 5th grader." That would have made more sense. Then the nation would have seen what she is (not) made of.
Every time someone mentions Sarah Palin, the peanut gallery goes absolutely ape. This is how she's making her money!
No need for any real skill set, education or talent. All she has to do is get the news feeds to pick up on whatever she's doing and voila! More attention, and consequently, more money. Armed with a contract from the TLC folks, she's now tapping into the money generated by the entertainment industry.
She quit her job as governor – too much actual work; goes to rallys and tea parties, just to help stir up trouble; and now will be gathering in a hefty paycheck for smiling at a camera and chatting about living in Alaska.
How monsterously diabolical – Go Sarah!!!
This is one series that I will definitely miss. And family of cable channels – the whole Discovery "network" – that I will avoid watching again anytime soon. You can't fix stupid.
Between her disgusting cross hair facebook blog entry to TLC reality show she sure has shown her true calling.......a circus act that nobody cares a hoot about, Mike from North Port
What's with this "Hit List" she has?
Is that even legal?? What is she implying??
This show is going to be great!!
Not only will we get to see Alaska in all its' vast glory, but I am sure Palin will show us Russia as well from her kitchen window.
That is a two-for-the-price-of-1 admission!!!!
I will be watching. My country needs more people like her to guide the all you to the reality of the times that we live in.
If this program airs, I promise I will block all Discovery Communications programming from my TV!
I love how women are so determined to try and tear down attractive, successful women out of jealousy.
Keep up the good fight, sweetheart 😉
This is exactly where Sarah Palin belongs, in the entertainment section of the news along with Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton.
Just what is the Discovery Channel and the TLC network think they're doing? This woman has turned out to be the most divisive politico we've had in years and to give her another "outlet" is simply ludicrous! Just to start with, she didn't even finish her 1st and only term as governor leaving those who she mislead in Alaska to support her either scratching their heads in dismay or just furious at her for running away. If this woman is going to be the focal point or anchor of such a program, you can count on me and others simply not watching TLC or the Discovery Channel!
So what is the topic going to be? "Worlds Dumbest B--"
This woman is such a joke and has been so since her weather girl days...I'm just tired of her.
WAAAAAAAAA......we ALL hate conservatives, we olny love goverment funding, please help me because I cant help myself liberals, if we see somone who has traditional values get attention, what will we do? Why dont you tree hugging liberal dems figure out why the wonderful president and his lackies have put in option for them not to have to be on the very health plan they are fighting to pass, When Obama was asked about it he said, "I'm the president so I'll wont have an issue with healthcare myself"!! Unreal....Oh yea, let's blame Bush for that too after all Bush is the cause of everything thing wrong
that has ever happend, econmomy, war, earthquakes,floods, so you all elected a movie star this time....... That was brilliant, hey maybe Clooney,Hanks,and Sean Penn can get into the house of reps this fall too!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh boy! I hope she shares her Alaskan Moose Stew recipe!
Robert Dayton:
Great post and so very true. It's like when the hollywood rags show actresses with and without makeup. Well, I don't want to see my date's face on the pillow cover; so I don't date homely dogs. These NOW women, who have hairy armpits and legs are those that hate her guts. The men that hate Palin are under-endowed pacifists that have to try to please their women in ways that they can't reach. Or possibly please their men. We all know the types that hate Palin, self-sufficiency, a hard days work, honesty, and how to protect your family. These were the types that snuck into America after we tamed the West.
Interesting that she is worth 1 million an episode. I think we will see a lot more politicians getting their own 'reality' shows in order to circumvent the rules regaring political contributions.
I am a fan of TLC but would never watch any show with Sarah Palin in it. She resigned as Governor of the State of Alaska and is now profiting from it – shame on her.
Don't you know that attacks only make Sarah Palin stronger!! The more you attack her, the more folks turn to her. People are wondering, why do they hate her so much? I am sure you all have your laundry lists. Most interesting is her popularity.
SERIOUSLY????
And this bone-head had the audacity to refer to Obama as a movie star during the election. PLEASE. Palin go back to Alaska and crawl back under that rock!
The person/s at TLC who made this decision need to pull their head/s from you know where and give it a good shake.
This is abolutely asinine.
The more exposure she gets, the more she reveals herself to be an extremist, a fake, and glutton for attention (I was going to call her a media whore, but I wouldn't want her PC police coming after me). So I say, let's give her a show on every channel until there's not a single person left in this country who likes her!
Seriously, she self-identifies as a moron by doing these things. I much prefer to be able to readily identify them than be duped by someone posing to know what they're talking about. I wouldn't worry about a resurgence of Sarah Palin. I guess what I'm getting at is this: Sarah Palin will have a TLC show about her...so what?
I think the early poster was right. WTF says it all.
Ludicrous!
Maybe she's going to be talking about how 4000 years ago dinosaurs roamed Alaska and how she can see Russia without leaving the US!
Sarah Palen is a brainless opportunist. If she didn't have a script (or
probably a ghost writer), I doubt if shecould form a complete sentence.
If she thought so much of Alaska to tout the beautiful State, why did she quit the governorship? Alaskan residents should be affronted.
TLC is off my remote!
This is the tv station that has three reality shows about "little people" and two shows about people that have obscene amounts of children. I can't wait to laugh at the highlights on Talk Soup with Joel McHale!!!!
For Heaven's sake you can't be serious! I've always liked TLC but if they give this show to Palin you've lost me for good. Full stop. I have an idea. By all means do the show because Alaska is absolutely stunning but do so sans Palin. Find someone who is "worthy" of the position. And stop calling her Governor!
You're right. I'm so glad Obama won. Can you imagine this lunatic in the WH....
This is really fun to watch. Sarah Palin is to Liberals is like what light is to cockroaches – it drives them crazy. This woman has forgotten more about leadership than any Ivy League lawyer can ever have hoped to learn.
Good. I love watching the liberals fall over themselves to hate her in 0,2 seconds. So let hte Obama People Republic of America rage towards socialism. I think Sarahs smile gets them angriest.
:OD smile on Sarah and just be you. – Signed American Voter and verteran :O)
Can't wait to watch. Sarah Palin is a great role model for women!!
Ever since the addition of Deadliest Catch and the like (read that new ghost show) , Discovery programming has been going down hill.
What happened to all the nature shows?? Now its just ghosts,and reality shows about nothing .
I thought Discovery would have the right mind to NOT even consider Palin.She doesn't even consider wildlife (ie kills animals) and doesn't even have the right mind to preserve the beautiful Alaskan landscape. She is the anti-thesis of what Discovery Channel is about.
What is this world coming to?? She is the most ignorant, dumbest politician ever surpassing Bush.
Even as a Mythbusters fanatic , I vow to not watch any Discovery Programing from now on.
Well, between TLC's obsession with midgets and large families, is this really that big a shock? That channel blows.
More trailer trash "entertainment"....
I love it, another $8m to add to her $2.5m in book sales. Remember you liberals, CNN/MSNBC/HLN combined has less viewers than the Cartoon Network. It's always the 200 people who always post negative comments about her. Well, millions of Americans lover her and the Discovery Channel knows this all too well. A beautiful lady, a mother of a US soldier, a former Council member, a former Mayor, a Committe Chairperson for the Oil and Gas Commission in Alaska, a former Govenor, a US Vice-Prestidential candidate, and now a very rich woman because of her own efforts and not government hand-outs. You liberals are foaming at the mouths with envy and jealousy of her. I love it and and can't wait to watch the show. For every one of you tha won't watch it, there will be 1 million who will.
I bet her show gets better ratings than CNN
hi im olivia. im at school. lol. were doing a project on her.
The learning channel should do a story on personality disorders with the footage from this. Sarah is fascinating in her ability to be so mentally dysfunctional and still be seen as successful in spite of all her failures. They should be doing a story about the science behind h
