Sarah Palin Asking for Over $1 Million Per Episode for Reality Show.
New York Magazine ^ | March 19, 2010 | Josh Duboff

The project, which is tentatively titled Sarah Palin’s Alaska. Palin is asking for $1 million to $1.5 million per episode.

Sarah Palin is following a trajectory more Kardashian than politician, demanding a big paycheck in her quest for reality-TV stardom. After shopping her “TV docudrama” to major broadcast and cable networks, two channels — A&E and Discovery — have expressed interest in the project, which is tentatively titled Sarah Palin’s Alaska. Palin is asking for $1 million to $1.5 million per episode, considered a “hefty amount for a first-year cable series.” The show — executive-produced by reality-television guru Marc Burnett — will feature the former governor touring her home state, completing activities such as visiting fishing boats or trekking to a gold mine. There had better be a caribou-hunting episode or else this really has no business calling itself a Sarah Palin Alaska show.

You put those words in my mouth. I challenge you to show where any of this whiz-puzzleness of Reagan actually ended up in better policies than what Sarah is advocating now.

You mean, aside from Reagan winning the Cold War?

Pray for AMerica and Gov Palin

Yes indeed... those liberal-lefties will never pray "for" Palin but if they pray at all (most of the time to the devil), it will be "against" Palin... doncha know... :-)

Outspending the USSR in order to force calling its bluff (the US had the wherewithal for that then) is something any conservative who also plays poker could do. This is much less genius than it is constance of policy.

It only took Reagan 30 years after that to get to the White House. It's possible that Palin is eyeing a run in 2040, but that's not the way I'd bet.

Oh, relax and loosen something. It was a casual, lighthearted remark.

Nobody's making any exact time comparisons here.

Oh, no, wait....I guess you are. LOL

If Palin runs, she will win.

It’s not going to matter what those with PDS think, she will be the President.

Perhaps Obamacare will help those with PDS, but I’m not convinced there is a treatment, other than the lotion used to help with the butt rash.

If you really believe that then I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you.

Well, it's kinda easy to understand, actually... at one point in time, Reagan declared it. And likewise, at a certain point in time, Palin will declare it...

It's kinda stupid to have to explain such a "no-brainer" to someone on Free Republic.... LOL ...

And some of her critics sound like spittle flying from the gap tooth mouthed green eyed misanthropists. Or leftists...

And from what little info there is, the show sounds more like travelogue-documentary than a Palin family “reality show”. Time will tell.

Sarah Palin’s value to America is incalculable as we see from the hysteria of those who are deranged at the very mention of her name.

Yep, we see this "anti-Palin-hysteria" here on Free Republic, which is amazing in that it has exposed some of the liberal-lefties right here on this board... LOL ...

She has the dignity not to let the show descend to that. She insisted on producing it too, so it’s not like she would be blind sided by the final product. “Reality” might be better stated as “in the wild” (vs. elaborately staged). In that sense she will give us something more real than the genre aspires to.

I have a picky point about the gold mine, that might get a bit boring if it fills an entire episode. But action shots will be winners.

You can treat your hyperventilation by breathing into a paper bag.

I don't know about that... I see that the anti-Palin-hysteria people have the hyperventilating down to a science... LOL ...

Our hero.... resigned from political office... and we agreed with the flimsy excuse.

Huh? Flimsy excuse. Get real. She was being sued into bankruptcy.

"Sarah Palin" and "Alaska" is what will make that one popular... and when they can do it for guys cutting down trees, guys driving trucks over ice, and guys fishing out on the ocean... heck! -- they'll certain do it for "Sarah Palin and Alaska"... :-)

Right. That's why she's peddling it to 13th ranked cable networks.
