SARAH PALIN'S ALASKA PREMIERE! (PREVIEW HERE)

[Gator113]

Thank you. I have been adding a few things to her to give it even more of a nostalgic feel. A friend gave me an old radio... made in 1948 and it still works, but so was I and so far... I still work. LOL

I use the new sound system, but the old radio just looks at home in the trailer. We will continue to find and add 50’s stuff.

Cheers.....

She’s remarkable in that she is simultaneously so normal and so extraordinary. The show was great tonight in that you see her strength and vulnerability too. She really is an American original.

I'm pretty sure it was a DeHavilland Otter. I've flown in a Beaver several times and was in an Otter once. If you look at the scene where the view is toward the pilot, you can see the throttle grouping and “DeHavilland” running vertically down the front of the cowling. According to Wiki, it was produced between 1951 and 1967.

Great show, I'm on for the Freeper cruise!.

I have a hunch that these episodes will be on
On Demand. The sneak preview clips were already On Demand.

Wonder how heavy the back pack she was packing on her climb up the mountain?

Todd is so supportive and not a bit threatened by “gramma” Had to laugh at that comment.

[CedarDave]

Whoops! I see you already found the link to next week’s schedule.

I sure noticed and you're right. No staff, no 'maids'.

An all-American, beautiful and spacious family home.

She does have her degree in journalism - the genuine journalism; a fact the lamestream almost always ignores. She is her own person, --- really strong woman --- with Todd as her confidant and advisor. I loved her asking him about taxes on employers.

Good on you. No need to check their websites. I don’t give a rip what they’re spewing. Viewers can make up their own minds and the rating’s will tell the tale, not some cooked poll(s) that will surely show that people ‘didn’t like the show’ and “don’t like Sarah Palin.”

[The Wizard]

Just watched it for the second time and it was just great...Willow is beautiful, just like her Mom....

[jonrick46]

"Her physical and emotioml strength as she faces these different environmental challenged shows a stamina the current president doesn't have."

Spot on in all you wrote. The cliff climbing segment showed this awesome "grandmother" with great courage and an "Oh Gosh," attitude to take on great challenges. The cliff climbing was a task she never anticipated. Yet, she succeeded with a determination to never turn back from what she started. This cliff climbing segment was a metaphor for the type of determination we need as the leader of this country.

It is ridiculous for Foxnews to have purposely scheduled the Hume special directly against Palin’s show. They could easily have placed it an hour earlier or later. Grrr!

I agree... very unfortunate. We managed to watch both, thanks to my dopey old-fashioned VCR that still works! LOL

[NordP]

...ah...from the comfort and warmth of my living room couch - GREAT! I’m IN!!! LOL

[nutmeg]

I - and even my husband - GREATLY enjoyed “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” tonight. It was very well done, and Sarah’s comments are such a hoot at times, LOL! The evil next-door neighbor stars more prominently in this show than I had anticipated... Sarah and Todd really slam him for all the world to see.

The grizzly bear fight was amazing... the black bears that show up in our yard once in awhile are like kittens compared to those monsters! Incredible how close Sarah and her family got to them.

I don’t know if Sarah plans to run for higher office or not, but I think this show will force the world to recognize that she and her lovely family are The Real Deal. I’ll bet many minds will be changed, and some Sarah-haters will be in awe that she’s not the “stupid” woman they thought she was. ;-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! Ready for visitors next summer. It was a great show.

[onyx]

How do you write so beautifully? You’ve sure said it all.

[Nextrush]

She’s doing good with this show and I look forward to seeing more episodes.

Ronald Reagan was all over television in the 1970’s before he ran for president.

[sybilll]

I just can’t understand how people cannot see the Love of America that Sarah emboldens. I guess the percentage of American’s that hate America just don’t get it.

[onyx]

LOL. I liked him kidding her, too. I’ve watched it twice..(well almost twice), a couple of interruptions and now I’m tired. Wonderful show. She’s remarkably strong! WOW.

[Kickass Conservative]

Bear in mind that there was a camera crew in the room. To be frank, I think some of these type of situations are scripted to make the type of show more interesting.

The kid didn't “sneak” up there, he did it in front of a cameraman, a sound man and and a director. Just my $.02...
