Despite a successful first season by viewing standards, TLC and Sarah Palin have elected not to make a second season of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” And no, I suppose “not renewing” isn’t the same thing as “canceling,” but I’m sticking with that headline just the same. Even if it is an OBFUSCATION OF THE TRUTH BY THE LIBERAL MEDIA!
Insiders admit that Palin seemed to enjoy doing the show more than she expected, in spite of the bad press that it generated. But it makes sense why Palin wouldn’t want to commit to another season: If she and her family chose to shoot more episodes, it would surely be interpreted as a sign that she had no plans to run for office. By not doing a second round, Palin would spare TLC the trouble of having to provide her fellow candidates with equal-access time of their own in the event she did decide to run. [Inside TV]
I enjoy that reasoning: a second season of a reality show would tell people that Palin’s not interested in running for office.
And of course TLC doesn’t want to provide equal airtime to all the candidates. The Obamas only have two children — that’s like one-third the bare minimum for a TLC show.

So I tend to vote Republican and I think this might be the worst thing in recorded history. Why, some assholes may ask? Well, because this means Mrs. CrazyTits up there is inching closer and closer to actually making a Presidential bid. And all the idiotic people in the Republican Party (I’m looking at you women who think you’re Sandra Bullock on The Blind Side) are going to want to vote for her and then continue to bitch while this country slowly descends into the 10th level of hell.
Despite Palin no longer being on TLC, TLC still remains the worst channel on t.v.

Can I just see this lady naked already?
“By not doing a second round, Palin would spare TLC the trouble of having to provide her fellow candidates with equal-access time of their own in the event she did decide to run. ”
Dear lord, please urge Charlie Sheen to run for President to get Two and a Half Men off the air. I mean c’mon, his antics practically qualify him to be a Kennedy.
The day she becomes irrelevant should be declared a national holiday.
I’d shoot it with a 30-round magazine.
I do so love that GIF.
If she decides to run for something, her opponent(s) should simply run that GIF as a 30-second TV spot.
Dammit, Ufford, if you don’t write “canceling” in the headline, how am I supposed to complain that it should be “cancelling?”
Sarah Palin wants you to know that the word obfuscate is an obvious fake and she doesn’t appreciate you poking fun at her language skills. From now on, let’s just stick to perfectly cromulent words.
@patty boots
why doesn’t any one see that she is irrelevant. her popularity on the right would not be nearly as high if not for the hate for her on the left.
this is nothing more than one parent telling you no, the other parent telling you yes, so thats the parent you like more.
I don’t have a problem with sara palin. I just don’t want her to be president, but if the left wasn’t so scared of her and spent about 70% less time talking about how she sucks. the right wouldn’t love her out of spite.
Are they sure this isn’t so that they can just make a “Her Der” feature movie? Those expressions in 3D would be terrifying.
That Todd Palin is one lucky guy.
Sources close to the network are claiming that the decision is the result of a close call earlier in the season where the former governor misheard a directive asking the cameraman to “shoot the pilot as he walks to the helicopter”. “The insurance costs skyrocketed after that incident” said an anonymous member of the crew, “and we simply couldn’t afford another season with those restrictions.”
She quit ? so weird
Too bad we can’t cancel Obama. Nice mistake America. Maybe in a few generations we’ll be done paying for it
