Mark Burnett Discussing Second Season of ‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska’ with TLC
Posted by Dr. Fay on December 19, 2011
From article by Sean Daly at the New York Post:
Producer Mark Burnett says he is in discussions with TLC to bring “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” back for a second season next fall.
“The plan would be to shoot this in the summer of 2012,” he tells The Post.
New episodes of the outdoorsy reality series — which shows the former vice-presidential candidate fishing, hunting and dog sledding with her family — would not air until after the November presidential election.
“By the time we edit it, the election will be over,” Burnett says. “But I am sure the election would be mentioned [in the show].”
“It makes perfect sense, because that is what’s going on. But it would be again Sarah in Alaska, living with Todd and the family and having adventures juxtaposed with doing her Fox News bits and discussing whatever is going on.”
Last week, reports surfaced that TLC and other networks balked at a new $1 million-per-episode spin-off series featuring Palin’s husband on the professional snowmobiling circuit.
“That is totally inaccurate,” Burnett insists. “In fact, the idea around snowmobiling was to be part of an episode in ‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska’ — not a series.”
“Sarah Palin’s Alaska” premiered in November 2010 to more than 5 million viewers.
“It was the number one premiere ever on TLC,” Burnett notes.

Thank God, THAT stupid rumor (re a series featuring Todd & his snowmobile!) has been put to rest!! I ran into a slew of nasty comments on an anti-Palin blog site the other day – and these jerks repeated the lying rumor as gospel. I was totally puzzled, ’cause, as a committed Palin supporter, I hadn’t heard a word about this from the usual crew of SP Info Blog reporters! Now we know – and, I might add, now we can “crow!!”
I like how Burnett reinforced the fact that I tossed back at the aforementioned jerks, namely, that her one & only “series” on TLC was a blockbuster and broke all records for a premier episode (on TLC). This also would appear to put to bed – finally – all the rumored scenarios about her “jumping into the GOP race” as a late entry. I’m a bit sad about that (still), but figure that she’s just getting on with her life and may one day reveal some of the unspoken reasons for her stepping away from the race as a candidate.

Filming for TLC during the summer would not prevent Governor Palin from running for office. She still has the opportunity to get in the race, and for the sake of our country, many Palinistas still hold on to that hope.

True! Ah, would that miracle happen….
