Can't get enough of Sarah Palin? You're in luck.

The former Alaska governor's adventure-themed show on TLC is set to debut in one month, but the trailer is already making the rounds online.

The 30 second action-packed preview shows the former vice presidential candidate braving the Alaska elements - including trekking up a mountain, kayaking over river rapids while bears look on, and dog sledding.

This is 'flippin' fun!' Palin says at one point. "Why can't we ever just be satisfied with tranquility?"

The show will also apparently provide insights into the Palin household. At another moment in the trailer, viewers see the Alaska Republican instructing her youngest daughter, "No boys go upstairs!"

And for political observers who are wondering how serious the GOP rock star is about launching a White House run in 2012, perhaps Palin drops a hint of her own:

"I'd rather be doing this than in some stuffy old political office," Palin says as cameras show the former governor navigating rugged Alaska trails on an all-terrain vehicle.

The total series will run eight episodes and debut November 14, TLC says. It is directed by Mark Burnett, the producer behind the long-running nature-themed Survivor show.

I have no doubt she'd rather do that than deal with politics...politics might mean using your brain!

Think this show will pay enough that she'll shut up and stop looking for gigs that pay her to spout idiocy? Would be nice to think so, but I'm pretty sure she likes the attention of being the focus just as much.

You don't think this is political? One of her pet causes is promoting all the wonderful things about Alaska. I think that's fine, for Alaska.

If she were from Ohio she'd be treking to the top of closed factories while folks who've lost their job under the Democratic administration (of Strickland) look on. To be fair there are great things about Ohio and every other state except New Jersey.

Well, yes, that's a valid point in that it's political insofar as she's pushing Alaska. I don't think that's her main intent, tho', I think she likes attention and money, and this was suggested.

I don't see many other politicians starting reality TV to show how wonderful their state is, so I kinda don't think that's her aim.

It's also ironic as hell to ME, in that, as it mentions, she'll be rafting "while bears look on", given her attitude toward bears, that she's pictured on one of the things tearing up Alaska (and other places) the worst, and that she's promoting the beauty of Alaska, given her stance on drilling in ANWAR and offshore there. I find it amusing (but sad) that she's showing off the state as beautiful and wild, when I believe, if she had her way, it would be neither for long.
