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.”
Woo Hoo, I dvr’d it and my 16 yr old daughter has watched it already & was looking forward to it because I had warned her DON’T STOP MY RECORDING . . . and she was like oh no I want to watch it. She is a Sarah fan & will be voting for the first time in 2012. :)
i think the 9yr old daughter will end up being the star of the show. she was hilarious. piper?
Do you like your crow served cold? With garnishes or without?
Yup, McCain would have likely lost anyway even without the Sarah bashing. But the libs just had to do it and ended up creating a national superstar out of an obscure governor.
They are idiots but in this case their idiocy was for the good.
flippin unexpected!
Yeah, it was good clean family fun. I would have grabbed Willow’s boyfriend by the scruff of his shaggy neck and tossed him out the door though for trying to sneak upstairs.
Keep something very important in mind...this was for the debut at 9 p.m. EST. There was a re-broadcast TWO HOURS LATER, which are NOT included in these numbers. I believe this episode will be re-broadcast four more times over the course of this week. Add it up, libs!
WHY was she climbing those rocks with NO GLOVES ON?
After the rocks, the throats are easy.
WHY was she climbing those rocks with NO GLOVES ON?”
What we climb are mole/ant hills compared to where she was but my gloves have split fingers so that only the top of the fingers are covered. For me it’s a confidence and touch issue. Guess it’s a good I never wanted to be a surgeon.
However, I never got that feeling with Sarah's show. It seemed unscripted. I liked it. The only thing that didn't ring true was when Sarah told the boy not to go upstairs, and then the boy -- in front of a camera crew -- went upstairs. What kind of a moron does that?
I thought it was great. Am DVRing the series. :-)
Is it available on line yet?
Yes it was shown here in Cali TWICE, once at 9pm and again at midnight..it will also be shown again tonight so all of these re-broadcasts mean even higher ratings.
Did you notice the quick shot of him of the sofa looking not so happy? I think he got chewed, but credit the show(or not) for not cutting this out...
I’m obviously in the minority. I thought it was a boring show with beautiful scenery. I can’t imagine I will make the effort to watch it again, but I’m one who thinks television is a vast wasteland.
I like the fact that it’s unscripted, she is showing everyone that her family is just like any other family. Every family has issues and so does hers. Yeah that boy, what a moron, I was like “Hey your on camera idiot” and he still goes upstairs, what did he think would happen, that she would be like “Cool that goes a guy into my daughter’s bedroom, have fun guys” LOL what a buffoon that kid was

Whatever one thinks of Sarah Palin, she is one heck of a marketing genius.
Let the liberal media keep underestimating and insulting her.
Let the establishment Republicans denigrate her influence and challenge her gravitas.
They did the same thing to Ronald Reagan. And we all know how that story turned out.
May all their heads explode in unison.
There will be another good morning in America, baby!
Not sure about online yet...some have suggested ‘Hulu’, or the TLC website. Anyone?
