Sarah Palin wants to produce a TV show about her husband’s life as a snowmobiler, but so far, networks have been cold to the idea.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Palin and producer Mark Burnett are pitching a show that would turn the camera on Todd Palin’s winning career on the circuit, but the price tag has driven bidders away. Discovery Networks, the company that ran her last show on TLC, paid over $1 million an episode for “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” which ran in 2010.
Now, Discovery is unwilling to pay that price, as is A&E Networks. “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” debuted to massive ratings, with network record audience of five million, but fell precipitously, including a 40% drop from its first to second episode.
The show certainly drew headlines, with her hunting escapades drawing criticism and her hosting of Kate Gosselin and her children. It was cancelled after its only season.

The Palin family are not newsworthy. They are not interesting in any way. Does she really think she can be a “producer”? Go home, leave us alone.

Will Shailey Tripp have a starring role?

LOL …exactly….They just tried to sell the wrong show about Tawd…..if it was about his pimping and prostitutes they could really bring in the $$$$…maybe even enough to keep him out of jail!

¨Have you SEEN Todd?¨
Unfortunately, yes, and so have the Discovery and A&E Networks.

It’s so gratifying to see the wasillabillies finally put in their place. I’m stunned she actually believed anyone would be interested in another reality show after all the negative press on the whole trailer trash family. Good grief! Grifting days are over $carah. You’re done. buh-bye..

I’d rather watch paint dry or grass grow.

Todd has the personality of a turnip.

Hey, hey, easy!!! Let’s not deride turnips with such comparisons!

I was perusing IM, and was directed to See of Pee because of their denial of an article written by conservatives, about the irrelevance of SP.
I came across this in the comment section;

It made me truly lol…but then I thought……..Why don’t you do a survey Sherry?
Make a list of Wassilla residents, past & present, and folks could choose ” the most embarrassing” and “the most admired”…only one choice from the list for each category..could be fun.

The truth is that I’ve had a wonderful time being Syrin- Sherry Whitstine. My neighbors love me, literally! (Someone who graduated with Sarah and Todd) Sarah is not talked about in any regard but negative here in Wasilla/ Palmer area. I was approached at work (in Wasilla) by several people about my blog and my opposition against Sarah. All positive! All became friends or occasional commenters. Just this last weekend at a good friend’s Christmas party. I met a friend of a friend, Mary. She’s a fan and now a friend. Mary, it was great to chat with you. Hmm. I wonder how Val is doing these days…

Given the opportunity to have Sherry or Sarah as a neighbor…I would take Sherry any day!

Hey I want to see Todd snowmobiling reality show!
FUCK NO… just kidding… I rather watch paint dry.
Dec 15, 2011 @ 03:55:42
Will they show how Todd & his partner sabotage other snow machines? Show how they illegally work on their engines? Show all the rest of his dirty tricks? Perfect end to the series – Todd being led away in handcuffs.
Who in heck would ever tune in to see a has-been, bully lose the Iron Dog? He has no redeeming qualities, even as a purse carrier for his has-been grifter wife. Only members of the AIP & Sea4Pee would watch. I’m thinkin’ that $1.25 per episode for all collective members of the Palin mafia would be a massive over payment and getting a tax giveaway for the production would be a crime according to AK law.

Glad I’m not the only one who knows aware of these things!

Hi Syrin! It looks as if the Palin gravy train has finally derailed; no one wants to buy into this train wreck anymore. All of $arah’s efforts to con another TV show and no one is interested means that the cash cow is no longer there. The good times of the Palin skanks living off of grifted funds are drying up. $arah must be very desperate right now ; her world of lies and deceit is slowly crushing her. Since it is common knowledge that $arah and her lazy brood read these blogs, here’s a little ditty for her I wrote myself – Tough titty said the kitty when the titty ran dry!!!

If Sarah wants a $1,000,000 for a reality show, she might get it if they offer a Sarah Palin-Glen Rice reunion.
Dec 16, 2011 @ 22:22:57
Well, of course she is! Sarah is whining that Todd is trying to break into her plastic surgery fund and she’s not going to have any left over til the day she kicks the bucket. Get a job, Todd & quit sponging off the Sarah gravy train! He’s not quite earning his keep since he stopped carrying her purse full of pancake makeup and self Botoxing equipment.
