Sarah Palin lost almost half of her premiere audience in the second airing of her TLC reality series Sarah Palin's Alaska. On Sunday, the series executive produced by Mark Burnett, drew 3 million viewers. That is down 40% from the 5 million who tuned in for the debut last Sunday. In adults 18-49, Palin averaged 885,000, down 45% and also posted a similar decline, 46%, in adults 25-54.
Everyone wanted to see the freakshow during the first week, and now that the gawking is over, viewers are moving along to shows with actual content. Plus, the instigating ("makin' liberals get wee-wee pants" or whatever she says) and the screeching aren't ratings-getters.
