I agree. She’s way smarter about reaching the public than I am. It’s not my style, but I’m far from the mainstream—I don’t even have a TV.
TLC just set a record for itself with 5 million tuning in to the debut show and based on the reports I’ve read here I’d expect a good number of them to keep tuning in. Also, of course, TLC is rerunning each episode multiple times in a week.
Again, I’m completely behind her for 2012. What she has done and accomplished in the less than 16 months since stepping down as governor is just amazing.
It was actually a fun show to watch. Made my wife’s desire to go to Alaska stronger. Gorgeous scenery and the stuff the family is doing is just awesome. Watching grizzly bears fight while fishing for salmon. Flying through Alaskan mountains in a small plane. They’ve got a park there that is bigger than New Hampshire.
