‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska’ loses nearly half its audience in second week

Sarah Palin is having trouble keeping the interest of her fans.

In its second week, Palin’s reality show lost 40 percent of its audience.

With almost five million viewers, the first episode of Sarah Palin’s Alaska became TLC’s most watched debut ever.

But the show’s second episode attracted only 3 million viewers.

With viewers 18-49, the drop was even greater. Only 885,000 viewers in the key demo tuned in, a drop of 44 percent from the prior week.

“In fact, the median age of the show is 57 — that’s 15 years older than TLC’s average,” The Hollywood Reporter observed.

The show follows Palin and her family through a series of wholesome activities including bear-watching and cupcake baking but some see it as an eight-part campaign ad.

Palin was criticized for the encounter with bears seen in the first episode.

“It’s clear from the video that she violated the [wildlife] guidelines” of Wolverine Creek by getting to close to the bears, the director of the Alaska Wildlife Alliance told Newser.

Karl Rove told the British newspaper Telegraph last month that the new show doesn’t help her 2012 chances.

“With all due candor, appearing on your own reality show on the Discovery Channel, I am not certain how that fits in the American calculus of ‘that helps me see you in the Oval Office,’” Rove said.

“There are high standards that the American people have for it [the presidency] and they require a certain level of gravitas, and they want to look at the candidate and say ‘that candidate is doing things that gives me confidence that they are up to the most demanding job in the world,’” he said.

“You know, I agree with that,” Palin shot back the following Sunday. “That those standards have to be high for someone who would ever want to run for president like, um, wasn’t Ronald Reagan an actor? Wasn’t he in Bedtimes for Bonzo, bozo or something? Ronald Reagan was an actor.”

And the former Alaska governor insisted her new show was a documentary instead of a reality show.

“Now look. I’m not in a reality show. I have eight episodes documenting Alaska’s resources, what it is that we can contribute to the rest of U.S. to economically and physically secure our union, and my family comes along for the ride because I am family, family is us, and my family comes along on the ride to document these eight episodes for The Learning Channel. … So Karl is wrong right there in calling it a reality show,” she said.

    what happened to the article about obesity. Palin is nothing more than a Gossip Column gone bad. Obesity, diabetes, cancer et al.. have real life consequesnces caused by Rumsfelds aspartame. I guess that information is something that cannot be known, SO,

    Yea Palins numbers are down OR quit ragging on our fuTure queen Sarah. These are the things that can be talked about

    Sarah sez: >>because I am family, family is us, and my family comes along on the ride<<.

    No, no, it’s

    We are family
    I got all my sisters with me
    We are family
    Get up everybody and sing

    then Karl sez: “There are high standards that the American people have for it [the presidency] and they require a certain level of gravitas, and they want to look at the candidate and say ‘that candidate is doing things that gives me confidence that they are up to the most demanding job in the world,’”

    Americans don’t have ‘high standards’ for the presidency. I mean, look at the choices we have had in the past few elections.
    More like ‘no standards’.

    It’s very obvious that people tuned in for her first episode because it was a novelty, people were curious as with all new shows. But once they viewed it, they realized that the show actually sucked.

    Palin is the queen of the airheads, with Christine O’donnell a close second.

    What a Poser -from her reactions it’s obvious these “encounters” with Alaska’s wilderness are among her first, and just for the camera. Sadly, like many couch potato “Alaskans” these days, her respect for the North is only in it’s resources. The animals just get in the way.

    Nobody could have seen this coming. Isn’t this her MO, she generates a lot of interest but most people quickly tire after a look-see!

    I can’t wait to see what the numbers are next week. If she can stay about a million they will probably let the whole series run out if it drops below that she is history! She and her buddy Rupert are gonna be even more surprised when her book that can’t contain much she has done since the last one, since she hasn’t had a job or even an experience. The only thing she can really talk about is the election and since half the country still doesn’t even know who won, I don’t think that is going to generate much interest.

    I just hope that everybody who invests in this woman loses their shirt! Or at least a few million. I would actually like to see her run to see how much money Rupert is willing to drop on this loser. She could be for America what the woman who hasn’t said a peep since she spent over $160 million of her fortune on the losing gamble in California. Meg Whitman!

    Reality show? Since when does this woman or her family have a lock on reality? Please give me a break. Let us stroll down memory lane. Sarah Palin herself was pregnant when she married Todd. Her daughter got pregnant out of wedlock. Her son before he went into the military was living on the east coast of the US and was arrested a couple of times. The last time for vandalism on buses. Her other daughter texts homophobic comments for public consumption.

    She drags her family onto the public stage for the last two years, then complains about the “lame stream press.” She does everything including what passes for her, reality show. Then continues to get angry when she or her family are discussed without proper respect. She wants the money, the celebrity but without the consequences. She continues to want it both ways. If she hates the press so much, why does she court it by all that she says and does?

    Her daughter Bristol on Dancing with the Stars, is in the public eye. And for what? For having a child out of marriage. And since she has done nothing relevant, they give her the title of Teen Activist. Because they do not know what to call her. This family loves the spotlight. They prove it every day. They cannot have it both ways. If they want privacy they should go to school, get jobs and keep their public mouths closed. Believe me they are not that interesting, just tacky.

    So Palin wants to be president of the United States but cannot tell the difference between a documentary and a reality show. I am sure the network explained that to her, but she wants to elevate herself above the rest of those lowly reality shows.

    Sarah, I love that you are taking time out of your life, to show the lower 48 states what Alaska has to offer. America is sitting on untapped resources, abundance supply of oil and discovery’s still undiscovered. Alaska is the last place on earth for human to discover. A beautiful, majestic and breath-taking place, that I’ve never visited. Watching, Sarah’s Alaska, will bring me closer to this unforgettable and unforgiving place. Another point, I admire Sarah’s Palin’s ability to continue her life experiences, explore every opportunity and not limit herself. Sarah continues to reach, for her full potential and overcomes overwhelming obstacles. The people who talk without any understanding, criticizing your success they will never accomplish and trying to bring shame & insults where none is deserved, I say those people are only a small fraction compared to those that support & understand what your about. LOVE YA SARAH PALIN. I LOVE ALASKA & AMERICAN.

    the native american had traveled through the bering striaght to get to america thousands of years before america was ‘discovered’ or more correctly colonized by europeans. Colonizers would of been smart to learn from the natives to avoid such ridiculous human disasters like cutting up the earth in the midwest thus causing the Dust Bowl and now you think your so wise to negate the natives of this country again and dig up for oil JUST MONTHS AFTER THE BP OIL DISASTER!!! please just take a nap or read a book or something.. maybe your thoughts would be more useful while your dreaming…

    Do you honestly believe that Sara is interested in helping the Alaska tourist industry? Please tell me it isn’t so.

    All true. If a person never took the trouble to learn how to spell, then how can he or she be expected to have gone to the trouble of learning history, civics, politics, ethics, or any other subject that an informed person would at least have a small inkling of. Or at least you could have the good sense to look up a word’s correct spelling before making a fool of yourself. Do you really think anyone can take you seriously when you present yourself as a half-wit?

    “And the former Alaska governor insisted her new show was a documentary instead of a reality show.”

    Well, you’re half-right, Sarah – it certainly has no more relevance to reality than you do.

    “Documentary”!!? Isn’t that a show that features someone who can claim to be an expert on something?

    This morning I went trapping useing a post. Starting with Leberals spouting off with, Slander, Slurs, Sarcasm, and lies. When they can think of nothing else to say. Being an old trapper I know to lay the right trail. Man was I right, rather I can spell or not they get my point I beleive. Because man they sure came after me, to many to answer so here it is for all. What they jumped on was my spelling and mistyping, of course with nasty remarks at alaska and Palin. And I can add a word now “CRITICISM” I see tonight they haven’t changed a bit. So if you go down the line aways and read my post you’ll see the polecats that I cought and am skinning tonight. Good night Suckers ( A polecat and a skunk is about the same) real bad smelling’.

    “So if you go down the line aways..”

    It’s easier to just click your icon and read your posts, than to check the whole thread.

    Either way, it’s a waste of time. It would have been better spent arguing with a fourteen year-old on high on speed. At least there would have been some lulz. If you are going to troll so hard, try using either an political viewpoint or a sense of humor. Spelling mistakes, lies, and a pinwheel political sensibility was slightly amusing back in the days of usenet, but it doesn’t cut the mustard anymore.

    Sure, you can believe that your troll net ‘got’ people, but snorting others time and acting retarded is no way to go through life, son. If you are not too alcohol-soaked that you have a memory of your ‘epic-troll’, you will be the only one that remembers it, and that will be with regret, and a hope that no one finds out who you are IRL.

    Why anybody would watch or listen to this blithering idiot is a true mystery. Palin’s awareness of facts, reality and the real world around her is already legendary (legendary stupidity). That the media would take such an interest in this blathering bimbo is yet another mystery, unless one takes into account the deliberate dumbing down of the American sheep.
