Ratings for Sarah Palin’s Alaska Stay Strong: 3 Million Viewers
Sarah Palin's Alaska ^ | November 23, 2010 | Discovery Channel/TLC

Posted on 11/23/2010 10:43:24 AM PST by Virginia Ridgerunner

Sunday’s episode of Sarah Palin’s Alaska attracted 3 million viewers – that’s more viewer’s more than the 2.4 million viewers who tuned in for the best performing season finale of AMC’s hit series, Mad Men.

As expected with any highly anticipated series, this week’s ratings dipped from last week’s record-setting ratings of 4.96 million viewers. It’s of course difficult to determine everything that affects ratings, but some are speculating that Sunday Night Football and the American Music Awards may have had an impact on the numbers. Find more information about these ratings at Hollywood Reporter.

Don’t let pundits fool with you to comparisons to broadcast show. Cable and broadcast viewer ratings are dramatically different from each other. Compared to other cable TV programs, Sarah Palin’s Alaska has more viewers and is considered to be quite successful. Wondering how they get these numbers? Check out this previous Broadsheet post that should help explain things for you.

"I hope I can buy the DVD. When will it be out?"

You're asking me? I have no idea but I suspect right after the series ends it's initial run.

Certainly it will happen before all the conservatives argue about the primaries and split the conservative vote while Mitt Romney slips past us. I don't know about you but I really don't want to watch Mitt Romney's Massachusetts.

She had me when she picked up the shotgun.

I fell even harder when I saw her beat the crap out of that big ole flounder.

Fishes, Hunts, mountain climbs, kayaks, drives liberals crazy.

Be still my heart.

Re #22:

Well I clicked on your link and got about 10 seconds into it when I noticed a link on the sidebar for something called “Best Ever!!!”. I clicked on it and found that if you watch it with the sound off it is VERY inspiring!

There are members of Discovery/TLC’s staff, based in uber-liberal Silver Spring, Maryland, who are quietly opposed to the show and think that their little digs at Sarah are cute.

Is this a photo of Sarah guessing when the skeet will fly as Todd is having fun making her guess?

No idea but it is most unflattering.

I think they were comparing it to Mad Men’s recent season finale, not the reruns.

That’s how I read it.

3+ million is still a great audience number. And surely there werte many who tuned into the first episode to see how it played out, and looking for reasons to deride it.

But as bristol says: “The haters are going to hate, no matter what, so lets dance anyways!”

Smart girl. Smarter than any DemoGenerate haters wallowing in their pig mines.
