Love her or hate her, one thing's for sure - people love Sarah Palin's home state of Alaska - or maybe just the thought of the Republican lightning rod coming face-to-face with a grizzly bear.

TLC says that nearly 5 million people tuned into the premiere of her reality TV series Sarah Palin's Alaska Sunday night.

The show - which follows Palin and her family on different adventures in the Alaskan wildlife - scored a 3.5 rating, which translates into 4.96 million households, an impressive number, but especially for cable.

TLC says Sarah Palin's Alaska had the best launch of any show in it's history - sorry, Jon & Kate.

The show will run for eight weeks.

If you hate her then do not tune in. I enjoyed the show. If I had not, I would have turned the channel but not hated the people on the show. It is JUST TV folks.

Bristol Palin can't DANCE. She is FAT and has an ILLEGITMATE CHILD. Why is this country so caught up in POOR EXAMPLES. A RACIST MOM and a DAUGHTER who can't keep her legs closed.

Call your local mental health clinic and attend the next anger management seminar.

Too bad beautiful Alaska has to get cluttered up with this trash. I wonder if they are going to show any clips of her shooting animals from a helicopter.......gee, that sounds fun!!!!

I thought that this was beautiful programming for the whole family. The nature shots and family interaction were wonderful. I want Todd and Sarah to be my parents. Alaska is beautiful and her family looks happy and well loved.
