'Sarah Palin's Alaska' gets premiere date

Between her daughter Bristol’s on-again, off-again engagement to Levi Johnston and sharing her political view with the masses, it seems Sarah Palin and her family are never far from a press camera's lens.

But if you think you already see plenty of Palin, get ready for November 14, when “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” will premiere on TLC, according to THR.

TLC President Eileen O’Neill said that at the Television Critics Association press tour that the show is going “extremely well.”  She added that “it’s become clear that it takes a special individual to thrive in Alaska.”

It seems Kate Gosselin also fits into that “special” category, as she will reportedly appear on the show with all 8 of her kids for a camping session.

The program will also display Palin’s salmon-fishing and glacier-hiking skills.

    Sarah Palin is a pure idiot and a quitter! But she knows like many white Republicans that many white voters HEAR IT! BELIEVE IT! and REPEAT IT! They will drink the koolaid! And don't investigate past the information that racist and or stupid people feed them! The shameful result is white Republican have given the country. Richard Nixon ( a crook) resign in disgrace....Ronald Reagan suffer from Alzheimer and was a do nothing President that just wave and grin! Bush (1)..(a liar) no new taxes then raise taxes! Then the worst Republican President and the worst President of all times. President G.W. Bush! This idiot started a war in Iraq for NOTHING after finding out there where no WOMD ( Weapon of Mass Destruction)! Causing American troop death of over 4,300 plus for NOTHING! Then he started another war and didn't pay for it (Afghan War)! The idiot took a surplus and turn it into debt! He also made so many country hate American under Bush 9/11 happen because his administration took their eyes off security! The Bush tax cuts for the rich did NOTHING for the country but bring the country DOWN! President Obama needs to vote that mess away! Unemployment TODAY is a direct result of Republican control and the dumbest President in America's history! G.W. Bush and D. Cheney are the worst thing to happen to America. Sarah Palin would be worst! This is a proven idiot just like BUSH/CHENEY!! Republicans today are the party of the rich and the un American! Republican are voting NO NO NO against America recovery and President Obama! They could careless about Americans or America they care about power and the rich! Sarah Palin has the nerve to criticizing President Obama when she quit her job and fail to make it to the White House THANK GOD!

    Yeah, how's that science-y, learn-y thing workin' out for ya, America? TLC has now officially become The Loser Channel. Of course, it's not really their fault - they, and the Science Channel, both started with good aims, but the American public simply can't abide learning and science. 'S okay; we can sit our our fat rears eating pork rinds and drinking Big Gulps, watching Sarah on the tube and watching the developing world pass us by in science and math. 'S all good, right?

    What's next–the Housewives of Wasilla? Starring all the Palin Family? Kate Gosselin had every right to get upset with Palin. $arah tried to pick her brains about how to get money for being on the talk shows, to get on other TV shows, etc. and Kate realized that she was being used. The only reason that Palin had her Dad and her brother there was to give them some exposure so they could also get on the gravy train. Like Sarah's Dad went and recommended that the people of Idaho should vote for the candidate that he recommended–why would he know more about who to vote for than the people who actually live in Idaho? (Those Idaho voters showed him a thing or two!) Kate is no dummy–so her family gets a bucket for going to the bathroom and Palin and her staff get actual toilets! Kate's family gets a ice chest with snackables and Palin and staff get hot food–hotdogs and hamburgers. SARAH Palin thinks she is a DIVA and celebrity and treated Kate's family like sh*it. Not someone who has earned by respect.

    Yes I live in Wasilla, Alaska. Yes, about 1/4 mile from Sarahs old High School. Yes, Sarah was my Mayor. And my Governor. And, she did pretty well in both of those positions. However, since she started pandering to the extreme right wing of the Republican Party, she's lost her appeal. Way to sell yourself out, Sarah. I won't be watching, TYVM. And thanks for making everyone in the country think Wasilla is full of extreme right wing wackos. Let me assure you, this is not the case.

    Wake up pilgrims, "Sorry" $arah....the great "refudiater" is busy with her book$ , that $arah doesn't write and her TV $how about Alaska . $he quit being governor there to make some $ with all the the $peeches she makes for birther$, tea bagger$, NRAer$, et al. Fox is grooming $arah to run for the presidecy ( C R A Z Y ! ! ! ) as evidenced with all HER p.r. stuff, soft interviews, and her endless simple statements i.e., "drill, baby, drill!" instead of insight and intellect. But the Palin parade will cease when push comes to shove and she wiill eventually face major media journalists with critical questions re: her knowledge of politics, the military, immigration, drug policies, the UN, the mideast, and just exactly where Africa is. That's when the rubber hits the road and Sarah's ineptness in the ability to be a world leader becomes painfully, terribly, dangerously obvious.

    Then the question should be asked: DO YOU WANT SARAH PALIN TO BE THE PERSON WHO DECIDES TO SEND AMERICA TO WAR AND/OR PUSH THAT BUTTON WHICH.........

    Really, the whole thing is simply a ploy to get around campaign finance laws... If they say they "hired" her, they can massively overpay her and voila! suddenly she has the money in her account to "fund her own campaign".

    It's just a variation on the "book sales and talk" type of loophole that has been lining the pockets of politicians for years- (where a person, group or company buys tens of thousands of copies of a book written by a politician-just to turn around and throw them in the dumpster.)

You will never become a millionaire like Sarah because you have to use your brains to do that and from what I am reading you people lack them.

      – @ Mariann Pepitone –

      Since you seem compelled to talk about money, allow me to burst your bubble. I certainly want to.

      I started my own business 10 years ago. As a result, I enjoy knowing that I've earned over $3,200,000 during 2009. Not my company revenue, my salary. I don't think about it often because I'm not obsessed with it and I rarely talk about it because it's no ones business. My performance everyday dictates if my company will continue to be a success.

      People hate Sarah Palin because she is a genuine moron, not because she's been a success. She's believes in creationism – and that alone is enough to steer me away.

      You know what really hurts about earning 3.2 million dollars? Taxes. I paid more in taxes last year than most people earn in ten years.

    I'm a regular viewer of many TLC programs, but I will have to change that now that I know Sarah Palin will be a part of their line-up. Most reality programing is really annoying. I do not watch Kate Plus 8. I do like "I didn't know I was Pregnant" and a couple of their other shows. But adding Sarah Palin to their line-up has gone to far for me. I will not try to watch other programs on TLC if I have to see hundred a commercials for "Sarah Palin's Alaska" during every single commercial break. TLC is one of those annoying channels that advertises their own programs to the point of nausea. I usually can press the mute button until I get back to the show I'm watching but even pressing the mute button on Sarah Palin won't cut it. Good riddance TLC!

    What a joke..but it doesn't surprise me. Choosing Kate Goslin is no surprise. Sarah needs advice on reality shows..and she needs to get it from a nobody like herself. Sarah wants to market herself and her family into show business, who better than Kate Goslin to show her the ropes. Maybe Sarah wants to appear on dancing with the stars. Lets see, since she "quit" as governor of Alaska, she wants to tell us all about wildlife in Alaska....she can make more money that way.
    She has written two books.....or lets just say someone else wrote the books and she is getting credit for it. How do I know? Because she wouldn't have the smarts to write one on her own...she would use terms like "oh shucks" or "you betcha" throughout the book....that would not make for a good read. Her daughter has had her "acting" debut....which looked more like a doe in the headlights reading probably while mommy held up her palm so she could read her lines.

    Alaska is for losers. Ask anyone in the military who gets "demoted" there. Sure it has some qualities but being up there is like being in another world. It's also the biggest welfare state in this country by far where one can grab a rifle and shoot a dumb moose while collecting the oil money check once you get back home. And it's freaking COLD.

    I worked for a company based out of Fairbanks, had an ex-wife who lived up there, have relatives who live there and have visited a couple of times. I'd rather be in Seattle, a city with strong ties to Alaska, with plenty of outdoor activities, separation somewhat from the rest of the world, no god awful heatwaves and rain instead of snow (or ice fog as they call it in Fairbanks).

She quit as governor for her own reasons, but it was best for Alaska since the media is now for the most part gone from here. Those that choose to follow her doings do so because they either like or hate her. Most of either don't know her at all. Like any star hollywood or political she is playing the game and at the monent winning.

      CNN is a lot more objective than any of the Conservative News Shows. Fox News is soooooo "impartial" to Sarah Palin that they have her as a paid commentator on their Network. Sarah Palin is successful because half of this country are old school, undereducated people that believe in the vile invective that she spews. She appeals to the lowest common denominator, that alone is why she is "successful". I think you will find that most people on this board however would not stoop to the tactics of Palin in order to make money. I ,for one, would not lie to a bunch of old people and say our president wants to kill them, I wouldn't use my children as political pawns, I wouldn't quit a job before it's finished, I wouldn't do a lot of things Palin does but I guess I measure success a little different.

    I read on another site that if you go to wowurl.com/11bma you will see an accounting of what went on with what was supposed to be a two-day camping trip. They arrived at the camp site and Kate threw a fit because she was going to have to sleep in a tent. All he$$ broke loose when Kate was presented with a bucket with a toilet seat for a cover. Kate screamed: "What the hell am I supposed to do with this?" She further said that the camp was dirty and her kids couldn't stay there in the "dirt". So, they set Kate up in alternative accommodations with her kids in a cabin that had a bathroom and electric. When dinner time rolled around, Kate opened the cooler for her and it consisted of Lunchables. She further declared that she couldn't feed her kids that "crap". It appears that Palin and her group were barbecuing hot dogs and hamburgers. The "camp out" lasted only one night rather than two.

    So, I can't see where Eileen gets the idea that Kate is one of these special resilient people. Kate is a diva biotch whose 15 minutes has long since passed.

    P.S. If Kate was so great, why is it that she was the only "star" on DWTS that was not invited to their reunion? No one has anything nice to say about Kate or her family.

I'm sure TLC will have to write every word out for Sarah, who can't speak without writing her notes on her palm. I plan to join those who will boycott TLC as the result of their bonehead decision to have Palin host this show.

      Sarah Palin is very intelligent and good looking. A liberal nightmare.

      For the pass two years the Obama loving corrupt MSM has tried to destroy this woman. For the pass two years the Obama loving corrupt MSM pushed their liars about this woman at every turn.

      Tell me, what has the Obama Loving Corrupt MSM accomplished?

      The Obama Loving Corrupt MSM has made Sarah Palin the second most powerful politican in the country. The polls may not reflect fav but when Sarah Palin speaks the majority of the American people listen.

      Obama's poll numbers are the prove in the pudding.

      When it is all said and done. What do we have before us?

      We have a thug that was raised in the Chicago machine.
      We have a warrior that was raised in the last frontier.

      This democrat woman soon to be a conservative stands with the warrior that was raised in the Last Frontier.

      Another double-standard with gender. She is good looking(I voted for Obama) I am amazed at the hate spewed out from my liberal friends on this blog. I thought we were above this. I voted for Mary Landrieu the when I was first old enough to vote here in Louisiana because I thought she was hot too. It amazes me how women will call us shallow for voting for some woman because she is pretty but 70% of women voters voted for JFK because they thought he was hot. Also, had JFK Jr. had not tragically died in 1999, they would have lined him up to run because the women would have voted in mass for him. Another point: Brad Pitt has flirted with running down here in New Orleans. No feminist has challenged local pundits when they talk about how he would lock up the women's vote. Why is this? Because women know it's true. So stop with your men are shallow already.

      Damn McCain! Any reasonable background check would show that this woman is pretty vacant. Palin isn't really from Alaska, she's from North Idaho, home of the white supremecist. She's "one of us" I keep hearing on occasion. Her degree is from the U of I and her father is from Sandpoint where he went to high school with many of my relatives. You couldn't find a whiter place back in the 1950's. My old man never witnessed a person of color until he went to college. And when things get a little hasseled in a place like that you pack up and move to Alaska! I don't trust anyone with that background.

      As for McCain he should've been kicked out of the Navy before he got shot down over Hanoi. The guy crashed numerous times and once flew into a major power line that blew out half of Spain's grid (not kidding, look it up). And people supported this ticket. What a joke.

      Sarah go smart. Somebody came to Alaska, and gave her a choice. You can stay here, or leave to make millions. The key is to keep saying emotionally charged statements, just like Mr. Beck. The fact is that both would be working at a car wash if it paid more that they make now. It's all about money....gee what a shocker. Doesn't say much for either Sarah, or Glenn other than they found a way to enrich themselves by encouraging hatred.
