Sarah Palin Pitching Reality Show About Todd Palin; No One Interested
by Free Britney at .Sarah Palin is looking to produce a reality show about Todd Palin's life as a snow machine racer. Astonishingly, the reception among networks so far has been ... icy.
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.
The price tag and subject matter have driven bidders away thus far, though.
Discovery Networks, the company that the former governor's last show on TLC, paid over $1 million per episode for the rights to Sarah Palin's Alaska, airing in 2010.
Now, Discovery is unwilling to pay that price, as is A&E.
Sarah Palin's Alaska debuted to massive ratings, with network record audience of five million, but fell precipitously, including a 40 percent drop by its second episode.
The show certainly generated buzz, with her shooting animals, acting all folksy, hosting Kate Gosselin and her children and so forth. But the buzz ultimately waned.
It was cancelled after its first and only season. Having declined to run for president, and with little interest from the reality TV world, what WILL Sarah Palin do next?

TMAC is a Racist and always has been! He's still trying to figure out if he's counted as one of those 70% of Black Families that are raised by Single Mothers! He is right about one thing- There are no Blacks in Alaska! America can't hardly get them to work in warm weather climates! Besides- If you dropped a Rock of Crack in the Snow- How would you find it! As far as Palin- Glen Rice will live with YOU Forever! Your 15 minutes is up!
Please, no more Palins. It has been soooooo nice not to hear anything about this moron. Let's leave it that way, ok Mark Burnett.
The majority of people that tuned in to Sarah Palins Alaska did so for a good laugh. The joke is over now. Go away Sarah Palin!
Yeah Clara Palin can pack a room with people the tea party buses in from around the country.to make it look like Sarah has alot of fans The crowds are waning now though. .,
How funny. Maybe black people don't want to live in Alaska. I don't know of a policy that says that they cannot be there. I don't see many here in EL Paso, either. As for waning tours, Sarah can pack a room better than a lot of people. So people aren't interested in snowmachining outside of Alaska. It is a bit specialized.
