The ratings are in, and it looks like “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” is a hit. TLC says nearly 5 million total viewers tuned in to the premiere of the series.

In case you haven’t seen our previous coverage, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” is a documentary series from producer Mark Burnett and starring former Alaska governor and Fox News Channel contributor Sarah Palin.

TLC says 4.96 million total viewers tuned in, including 1.8 million adults 25-54, and 1.6 million adults 18-49, two of the network’s key demos. That is the best premiere in network history with regards to total viewers, beating the 2003 debut of “What Not to Wear.”

I think the ratings would have been even higher then that if it weren’t for the time slot it appeared on, I think NCIS was on at 9pm too..so just imagine, better time slot, more like 15 mil would have been watching :-) and it was shown again twice here, I am SO happy, it was such a wonderful show. Oh and don’t forget, get your ACORN hat tonight we have votes to make

LOL. The article says the “networks” didn’t want her show.

Whoa! Idiots aligned with the Marxist and the anti-American unAmericans.

You betcha and I am already prepared to vote like ACORN!

Fox News Channel was dumb to put Brit Hume up against her, but now that people know her series will replay, maybe some will watch Brit’s specials, but his replay too.

Oh yeah, Rove for sure and now Roger Ailes knows for certain that she is responsible for a lot of the ratings everytime she appears on Fox.

I hated that. Loved virtually all the show, but HATED that.

First of all, the disrespect this idiot showed his girl-friend’s mother. On TV. Knowing how the nation’s treated her.

He should be banned from the house, forever.

Second, given that Palin’s other daughter got pregnant, unwed, the image of this moron disrespecting the parents and going up to the girl’s room in their own house under her distracted nose....

Bad message.

The show replays tonight so I will watch it again. I missed a few parts here and there(Damn potty break) so I will watch it in its entirety tonight again. I believe it comes on here at 11pm so good timing. Piper definitely stole the show last night. I’m telling you, this kid has a future, you can quote me on that, years from now she will be running for some kind of political office

I enjoyed all the aviation in it. But since Todd is a pilot and they own a float plane that was sort of expected. Beavers and Otters are sure way kewl planes...

I'm not really surprised......

As I wrote on a thread a while back, when it comes to Sarah there is no such thing as "bad press" or "negative publicity".
The reason being that it only gives her more exposure.
All of that "so called" bad publicity only makes people more interested in seeing her.

She's done a "Colonel Chesty Puller" on them and they don't even know it. LOL
She's surrounded by enemies and has them all right where she wants them.
To paraphrase Colonel Puller
lol

I would have too, but I almost wonder if that wasn’t staged?

They have long ago determined to force the MSM ship hard left directly into the iceberg, despite the clear warning from the public. The public has long ago exited to the lifeboats yet the MSM executives are determined to maintain corse and go down with the ship.
