"Sarah Palin's America" to be replaced by "America Unplugged" starting June 5.
With Amazing America with Sarah Palin about to end its run, Sportsman Channel is getting “unplugged” with a new original series about people living off the grid.
Premiering June 5 at 8 p.m. (ET) America Unplugged, hosted by former U.S. Navy SEAL Cade Courtley, will look at the stories of eight Americans who have chosen to live off the land, including generating their own electricity. The network says about 400,000 Americans are living off the grid.
Marc Fein, executive vice president of programming and production for Sportsman Channel, says Amazing America, featuring Palin, the former vice presidential candidate, generated big increases in viewership in its timeslot from a year ago. It also generated buzz for the network. There have been renewal discussions, but no decision has been made at this juncture.
Now this does not mean for sure that Palin's show is off the air permanently. However considering how hard the Sportsman Channel pushed this show in the beginning it is a little odd that they seem uncertain as to its fate.
I have to say that I would be surprised if it came back considering that it only started in April, to lukewarm reviews, and that it has garnered very little attention even though Sarah Palin herself has been in the news multiple times since its premiere.
By the way, what kind of a series only lasts two months?
I think the best answer to that question is, a terrible one.
