Really, TLC? I mean, I understand why someone would make a show about Sarah Palin. She’s very popular! And I especially understand why TLC would make a show about Sarah Palin. It is not as if you have any kind of broadcasting standards to uphold. You created Kate Gosselin. And you also created Jon Gosselin. I’m not even sure what TLC stands for at this point. It’s certainly not The Learning Channel anymore. Unless we are learning how much of a human nightmare some human nightmares can become. But if you are going to make a show about Sarah Palin, is it really going to be Sarah Palin WALKING UP A MOUNTAIN? This looks like Karl Pilkington’s An Idiot Abroad, except instead of being really charming and funny, it’s really awful and terrible.

It’s cool that there are NO LOBBYISTS, though. For a second I was like “WHAT? LOBBYISTS ON A FISHING BOAT?!” But there aren’t any lobbyists. We’ll see about the NO AGENDA part, though. Pretty sure Sarah Palin’s NO AGENDA is another person’s STRINGENT AGENDA. (Via TheDailyWhat.)

  1. The Laughingstock Channel? I’m pretty sure it’s The Laughingstock Channel.

  2. I already have an Alaska-based television show near to my heart, thanks.

    Maggie is waaay cooler than Sarah Palin, any day.

  3. I’d rather her be out there being “free” than in a stuffy old political office as well.

  4. You know, between my series of failed relationships with my girlfriends and boyfriends, terrible bands I’ve started, and now this horrible tv show that is mine, I’m really starting to hate myself.

    • And it’s getting exhausting for us to try to keep all their names straight and to sound hopeful when they talk about ‘forever’ with you. My ‘smile and nod’ is getting pretty close to polished at this point- if this placating, fake reassurance head-bob is in the next summer Olympics (‘why the summer Olympics Oscar?’ Because in the winter time I hibernate like one of the bears Sarah Palin will eventually squeeze the life out of with her bare hands and stuff. What’s that? OH, I was just told its not pronounced ‘bear’ its pronounced ‘hope for America’) then I will be the champ!

  5. My favourite part is when she screams, “WHY CAN’T WE EVER JUST BE SATISFIED WITH TRANQUILITY!!!”

  6. “HOW COME WE CAN’T EVER JUST BE SATISFIED WITH TRANQUILITY!!!” screams Sarah, firing another round into the limping wolf from her helicopter.

    • I would read your “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” fanfic. Or would it be hatefic? Whatever. I’m there.

      • I just have to finish the love scene. The helicopter crashes and she has to cuddle up to her Democrat pilot to preserve BODY HEAT! It’s a sin, but it’s the only way to save America. Obviously when she’s finished she kills and eats him – A woman’s gotta do what a woman’s gotta do.

  7. I wish she’d just get back to ruining the Republican’s chances at a 2012 win.

  8. Osama Bin Laden’s Afghanistan is the clear next step for TLC.

  9. Someone needs to get Eric Stoltz on the case, so he can use his fancy DeLorean to go back in time and:

    1. Kill Hitler
    2. Knock off SP’s Grandfather
    3. Give Michael J Fox a debilitating disease so he’ll never be able to act, ensuring Stoltz that he WILL be Marty McFly

    Wait…

  10. This is probably all filmed in LA.

  11. I was going to try to write some fake dialogue for her describing a stream or something, but I’m already wide awake and can’t go back to sleeptyping out utter nonsense.

  12. Don’t we want people in office who would rather be in “stuffy old politics,” than taping a reality show out in the Alaskan wilderness?

  13. I just crapped my pants, and not in the good way.

  14. i’m pretty sure Sarah Palin is just Mr. Burns in Ned Flanders’ body.

  15. More like An Idiot Broad! Amiright?

    (It is more funny than offensive to call a woman a broad nowadays right? -Andy Rooney)

  16. Bravo is countering with “Gavin Newsom’s San Francisco”

    • Not fair! It’ll be all DeDe Wilsey and the de Young one minute, and Gavin strollering his daughter down Haight, kicking the disaffecting East Bay youth out of his way the next, all “This is why we need to pass the sit/lie law” the next.

      What I mean to say is, let’s let Logo produce it, and call it “Tom Ammiano’s San Francisco.” He was pals with Harvey Milk and nobody wants to kick him in the teeth.

  17. I’m pretty sure TLC stands for Terrible (word that starts with L, it’s too early, people!) Channel, am I right!?

  18. I’m fine with it if theres a lot of Bristol Palin, she pretty.

  19. At least Reagan was affiliated with major hollywood studios. I’m not sure about her politics, I mean, people love her so they are probably really great, but I’m not electing anyone that can’t at least get to the networks (or AMC or maaaaaaaayyyyyyyybe FX.)

  20. Sarah Palin OR Bears?

    Bears please

    on TV and IRL

    always and forever

  21. a television EVENT!

    shoot me now…….

  22. As much as she repulses me as a political candidate, I think i would enjoy hanging out with her on her Alaskan adventures. Well, except for the wolf massacring.

  23. “I’d rather be in some stuffy old political office then being paid to vacation in the Alaskan wilderness.”

    – no one, ever.

  24. Man, I didn’t know that giving past vice president candidates a reality show was common, professional practice. I can’t wait to find and Netflix the Bob Dole reality show.

  25. She might be too busy kayaking to go into a “stuffy political office,” but dammit, that Bump-It will go in her hair every day! It’s the American Way!

    BEAR FIGHTS!

  26. What’s with the sound bite around 0:05? “We are somewhere that…AGHHHHH… people dream about.”
