Sarah Palin Fails To Find Buyer For Latest TV Show Sarah Palin has so far failed to find a buyer for her latest television show idea in a further sign that her star is on the wane.
In the last few years Sarah Palin has made millions of dollars from two books and numerous public appearances By Nick Allen 13 Dec 2011
The former Republican vice presidential candidate's new proposed foray into reality TV would focus on her husband Todd's career as a champion snowmobile racer. It would be a follow up to "Sarah Palin's Alaska," an eight-part travelogue which was sold to The Learning Channel (TLC) for more than $1 million an episode and first broadcast in November last year.
That show followed the former Alaska governor and her family around the state, including footage of her shooting a caribou on a hunting trip, going on a deep sea fishing expedition, and visiting a logging camp. It broke ratings records for a first episode on TLC, drawing more than five million viewers. However, it dropped to three million for the second episode and received mixed reviews, with entertainment industry bible Variety commenting "Boring? You betcha".
Discovery Communications, which owns TLC, has not bought the latest idea for a Palin show. Cable and satellite broadcaster A&E Networks, which bid for the previous series, is also reportedly not interested.

Nobody can stay on top forever.
Hopefully she was smart enough to save all the dough she was making.
Maybe if the stardom fountain goes dry, she’ll go back into politics. Can’t shake off the notion that Republicans who can stay in the private sector and many of those who can’t... get elected to something.
she decided not to run so she could do nonsense like this ?
I think this means she's more popular than Todd.
She would do better as a talk show host. It still says she gets 1M/year from Fox.
It would seem so. Hopefully she goes away for good this time. Frankly, I never got what all the fuss was about.
When she decided not to run, she became irrelevant to most of her supporters.
She wanted out, and now she knows that most of us agree.
I would be interested in the snow-mobile racing part.
Todd is a cool dude.
It’s funny that although it happens all the time, they never report on *anybody* else who gets their program ideas rejected by *two* networks.
I think someone is purposely trying to marginalize Sarah Palin. She takes a couple months off and all of the sudden they are saying that she is fading.
2012 will be a historical election year. Although the Establishment on both sides don’t want outsiders to be part of it, especially when they are talking about cleaning up crony capitalism and their corrupt political system, rest assured that both Sarah Palin and the Tea Party will be the determining factor in the outcome of the races.

It is difficult to believe that there is not a market a reality show of a middle age guy riding a snowmobile.
Another Palin hit-piece. Sorry, but Paling is still an intriguing figure whom political hacks and insiders hate.
TV channels are all run by leftists these days
I doubt that Trademark ever intended to run.
I fear Sarah is like others that choose to make money off our miserable situation.
I’m through buying books from and watching anything about these people.
Money is to be made off the debacle that IS little Stevie Dunham, but none from me-I have to buy food and ammo.
Take your “reality” shows, books and websites and stuff ‘em.
Sarah was pretty and had a political mouth on her that we all liked, but somewhere in the middle of failing to do her homework and pretending a campaign, because it was too much trouble, the Trademark looked easier and told us instantly of her intentions. What she promotes outside of politcs, I for one, would have zero interest in hearing about, certainly not Todd, or how to build a snow mobile, or Alaska, or anything else having to do with how to be a tomboy. She has squeezed about the last turnip for cash.

And boy is Nick mad!

Almost all of Sarah Palin's supporters still strongly support her.
I don't think you were ever a supporter. I looked through your history and there is not a single post or sentence in her favor. You look like a pro-Gingrich Establishment type, desperately trying to protect a corrupt politician and a political system.
It is the Gingrich supporters who are currently bashing Sarah Palin and the Tea Party.

I liked Palin’s Alaska.
I guess we can look forward to Herman Cains, “Restauranteur”
