LIVE THREAD - *SARAH PALIN'S ALASKA* 2 HOUR GRAND FINALE - "GOLD MINING" 8/7C TLC EARLIER START TIME

PALINTV/TLC ^ | JANUARY 9, 2011 | Sarah Palin/TLC

Press here for preview *Gold Mining*

The price of gold today is at $1,368.90 an ounce, and during the 2-hour finale of "Sarah Palin's Alaska" you'll join us as we find gold.

When William Seward purchased the Alaska territory from Russia in 1867, he knew that our natural resources and strategic location would help secure the nation.

We show more of Alaska's potential in Sunday night's final episode at 8pm ET on TLC.

~ Sarah Palin

Sarah, her brother, Chuck, and their kids go to Nome hunting for gold. The plan: to find enough to make Sarah's mom an anniversary gift.

The following hour is a treat for all of us. If memory serves, (it was 2 weeks ago) I think the second hour is supposed to be "never before aired" *out-takes*....lol.

Having a son who worked with homeless mentally ill people and have friends and family members who have dealt with schizophrenia in their family, am disappointed that even FOX has not dealt with the mental health issue and how it is not being dealt with by our states.

Notice they aren’t wearing helmets on the ATVs, no PC crap on this show!

I would be interested in knowing the drop off next week when Sarah isn’t on.

Last week there was the story that TLC was trying to sign her for another year. apparently she said no. But the media distorts the story to make it sound as if she got canceled. Get used to it.

OMG. I have read about him, but I have refused to watch the news. I can’t afford to shoot my TV’s like Elvis Presley. That guy is a raging Marxist. He should be removed from office or voted out. He’s out of control.

Thank you Ms Onyx.

[RedMDer]

Camping on the Bering Sea. That is very cool!

[onyx]

Right. TLC offered her a bundle for a Season Two. Apparently, Sarah Palin has other plans to keep her busy in 2011.

:)

Dittos! They even pause for prayer....oh the horror of it all...lol!

[Fudd Fan]

Hi onyx!

Maybe your hubby got sick of football, too! LOL

[Jemian]

How deep are the divers? They’ve been down 50 minutes. It is about time for them to surface.

[Jemian]

Sick of football? Is that possible?

[onyx]

(((libbylu)))
So GOOD to see you here with us! Some of our regulars aren’t here tonight.

[upsdriver]

I pay little attention to the media attacks on Palin. The attacks aren’t working and Sarah seems to not only handle it but also thrive on it. No sense needlessly worrying about things.

[RedMDer]

Don’t know. It looks like they used a ladder and didn’t swim so probably not too deep.

[Jemian]

Musk ox! Cool!

[Jane Long]

Thanks, Onyx. It's been fun visiting the live threads - when viewling live or later, when watching TiVo. Appreciate the pings.

Yes, pray for Sarah - this week, especially. I've kept the channel - on all TV's - on her TLC marathon ALL DAY and have avoided the "news" channels on purpose.

[onyx]

(((Fudd Fan))) Sweet you!
That would be a miracle!
He’s disappeared on me... is there another game on? LOL.
I am going to listen to TGO tomorrow. He will be on fire. I will join your thread.

[Jemian]

The general rule is 60’ = 60 minutes. I generally go a bit deeper so I have to pull out my dive tables to figure it out. I found the underwater segment very interesting.

[The Wizard]

all the kids are cool, and Piper is a pisser...
