Watch: New trailer out for Sarah Palin's Alaskan adventure reality TV show

Don't misunderestimate Sarah Palin's new eight-week reality series, Sarah Palin's Alaska, on TLC. It's got a lot of snow and trees and outdoor activity -- in fact, it's practically in Russia.
TLC, owned by the Discovery Network, is known for programming featuring either people on the job (American Chopper) or unnaturally large families (19 Kids & Counting). Sarah Palin's Alaska appears to be an attempt to get back to nature while appealing to Joe Sixpack.
If the trailer is to be believed, the documentary series won't just show Palin conquering the great wide open; it will also give viewers a peek into her domestic life. In one shot, she's shown holding her son Trig and hanging out in her house in athletic shorts. "Family comes first, it's just got to be that way," Palin says.
The trailer also shows a small plane soaring through the sky and Palin rowing down river. "This is flipping fun! Why can't we ever just be satisfied with tranquility!" shouts the former governor.
I think I speak for the American people (the ones I like) when I ask, "But isn't TLC "The Learning Channel"? Isn't it kind of strange that someone so against protecting the environment is whooping it up in nature?" Still, I love watching stupid people on reality TV. This one was almost Vice President! The show premieres November 14 and will air on Sundays at 9 pm EST. I think a drinking game is in order.

aw, i miss the days when TLC was the learning channel. now it's the i have 18 midget kids channels.
Sarah Palin in athletic shorts? What kind of athletic shorts, exactly? The kind you see on AbRocker commercials? I'll watch that show segment. But she really is dumber than a box of hammers.
Remember when everyone thought Trig was really Bristol's kid and then Bristol got pregnant? This family confounds me.
From what I understand, the cost of living in Alaska is quite high. Are her speaking fees that handsome?
Is Sarah Palin becoming the new Mad Men? I just did a shot.
Oh god (and the rest of you) forgive me, for I just watched the trailer. They're going to do eight weeks of that voice? I just did three shots.
POTUSILF
I'm not watching unless they show footage of helicopter moose hunting.
Will Todd actually speak? Will Sarah have to translate for him? Will behind the scenes footage of the nannies and real story ever be avail?
I hope Levi makes an awkward appearance!
i am excited to watch the shows, i lived in alaska for 7 years when my dad was in the air force. we were stationed at elmendorf air force base near anchorage, and we loved it there, have alot a great memories there, i think it will be fun to watch sarah show people why she loves alaska so much
Now you say something
