C’mon, I can’t be the only Doper who watched this last night. Let’s dish. First, I would like to thank Ms. Palin for doing this show and cementing the fact she’ll never, ever be President. Get it, Mama Grizzly! 😛 Speaking of mama grizzlies, how many times did she say that last night? I’m considering doing a drinking game next week, but I’d be trashed within 5 minutes. I have to say though: I’m tremendously impressed that they found a way to work in _actual mama grizzly bears_. Nice touch, TLC. I have to say my favorite moment was a tie between: When she talked about building a 14 foot fence to block her neighbor from looking at her and legitimately said that Americans can learn a lot from that about how to secure our national borders. or When she told her kid that no boys were allowed upstairs. Me thinks someone learned the hard way :p. So, what did you all think? I can’t lie, I’ll be watching next week. ---

I haven’t watched it yet, but need to check to see when it’s re-run. I really want to catch at least one episode and see how it is! ---

I saw a clip of when they were fishing and a bear came toward the boat and she pulled her child in front of her. Of course she was just trying to keep the kid still but I can’t help but think of the old advice that they way to avoid a bear attack is just be faster than everyone else. Putting someone else between you and the bear is the first step. ---

Nah, I had more important things to do last night, like fishing logs out of my toilet. ---

I would love to watch a show like this, about Alaska, but not this one. Palin’s voice is like someone is sticking bottle brush in my ear. ---

I don’t think I’ll watch, hypothetically or otherwise. But out of curiosity, whats the concept of the show about? Is it like, an educational “Palin teaches you about Alaska wildlife”, or a reality show type “a day in the life of Sarah Palin”, or what? ---

Is it like, an educational “Palin teaches you about Alaska wildlife”, or a reality show type “a day in the life of Sarah Palin”, or what? It’s. . . a little bit of all of that. It’s somewhere between a humanizing thing on Palin and an Alaskan tourism promo. In this episode, Palin went fishing with her family out in the Alaskan wilderness, where they observed bears in their natural habitat-- then she went home and tried to prep for her Fox News interview while her daughter was trying to sneak boys upstairs. Then she went. . . glaciering or something. Idk. I kept hoping she’d fall into a crevasse. ---

It was a great show. Funny. Great scenery. Entertaining. Educational. No other person in American politics could have made an entertaining show like this, showcasing their family as the Palins did. It also set some kind of record for TLC. The first episode of the eight-part series was the most-watched program launch in TLC’s history, over 5 million viewers.
