Just a little tip, Miz Sarah. Don’t call this Alaska travelogue a “reality show” or you’ll get an audience looking for something quite different from what you have in mind.
This Documentary was actually Mark Burnett’s idea, he is the one that went to Sarah Palin and asked her opinion about it to which she was very excited about the idea of having Alaska be featured in a documentary
This might be the 10,000th article on this topic, but WTH, this is FR.

The Palin investigation began when she was nominated as VP. All of this is the continuation of that initial surge of reporters that was sent to Alaska and found nothing. They are still looking for something. They will report every action, not only by her, but by every family member, and every person who has anything to do with her, in the hope that they will find the evidence they are looking for.
They have had great success with other people who carry an “R” after their name, getting them to abandon their principles, convincing them how they should feel about issues of the day, telling them they can’t win as conservatives. It won’t work on Sarah Palin.
Her exposure on venues like the Tonight Show and FoxNews and her new Alaska project will improve her image. The Alaska TV show will numb the resignation criticism. She said she could do more good for Alaska on the outside than she was being allowed to as governor. This will prove it.
And the 10,001st article, no doubt critical, will cause even more people to follow her every move and hopefully learn that the media has lied to them again.
I know of at least 3 reality shows already based in Alaska
There seems to be a nearly complete ignorance of Alaskan culture — or, more accurately, the cultures of the Alaskan peoples — amongst the self-proclaimed arbiters of culture festering in the urban jungles on the southern coasts.
It's not only a large territory; it's a very complex place to govern. As Governor, Palin had one of the most challenging jobs in the continent. She should have been treated with great respect — instead, the MSM and political and “cultural” elites mocked her at every turn. In so doing, they betrayed their ignorance, shallowness, and bigotry.
Documentaries done by the likes of Burnett would be immensely popular (for the visuals, and for the human interest). People would be sure learn valuable lessons from watching them.
