Lifetime has picked up Bristol Palin: Life’s A Tripp, a 10-episode docuseries chronicling Bristol Palin’s life as a young, single mother living in the spotlight of being Sarah Palin’s daughter. The series will focus on how Bristol adjusts to life in Alaska with her son Tripp and her interactions with with her parents, former Alaska governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin and Todd, and siblings. “From the first moment she was thrust into the public eye, Bristol and her son have been the subjects of a huge amount of curiosity and misunderstanding,” said Rob Sharenow, EVP, Programming, of Lifetime Networks. “This show will reveal the real Bristol Palin and her journey as a daughter, a mother and a young woman making her way in the world.” Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp will be produced by Associated Television International, with David McKenzie, Jim Romanovich and David Martin executive producing. The company was previously behind another Bristol Palin reality series, which was greenlighted by Bio but never got to air. It was to be set in Los Angeles and feature Palin and her Dancing With The Stars pal, actor Kyle Massey.
TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.


really…just go away already. I hear if anyone watches this, a thousand puppies will die.
Not only does this sound uninteresting but it’s 2-3 years too late. Lifetime Executive Fail.
Senator McCain look what you started!!! I blame you for Sarah Palin and the rest of her clan. Why couldn’t you picked a more qualified VP candidate?? 1) you could have been president and 2) we would never have heard of this nit wit, media whore with the intelligence and world knowledge of a sand gnat!
come on people- how desperate is any station that they have to keep showing this mob. not a damn thing about any of this brood worth watching or listening to. Let her get a damn job
yay. reality is over the shark.
I thought teenage mom was on MTV?
So they are giving reality TV shows to actual nobodies still?
really? is this really worth anyone’s time or interest?
Right before Sarah Palin QUIT her elected office, she signed a generous tax rebate program into state law that rewards film production crews for filming in Alaska. With iron-clad contracts in place, we may never see the light of day on any Bristol series but I’ll bet a dollar that the grifting will happen.
I think I am going to puke. Unless Santorum beats me too it.
LOL! Good one.
Why? Bristol is an idiot. It would be better idf Lifetime had a show on melting ice
You say that as if other “reality” TV stars aren’t idiots. Haven’t you been paying attention? Idiots like watching other idiots on TV to make themselves feel better – about being idiots.
Reality TV is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Urgh! This belong on MTV with the rest of the teenagers that don’t know about holding an asprin between their knees.
these lifetime execs continue to amaze me with their ineptitude.
Good lord. I thought/hoped/prayed that this family’s 15 minutes was up.
Like a bad case of STDs . . . just won’t go away despite plenty of disinfectant.
This is what I feared would happen with reality tv exex taking over Lifetime..crap t.v. I get that they want to appeal to the coveted young demographic, but really…Bristol Palin?
What a waste of what could and should be a strong, intelligent programming destination for women
Woody Allen said, “Those who can’t do, teach. Those who can’t teach, teach gym.”
Somewhere below gym teachers in that equation are people starring in reality shows based on their lives, which are empty of any achievement. (Apologies to any gym teachers in the audience. I’m sure you’re awesome.)
How stupid and unintelligent can Americans become. If anyone cares to watch this bull**** it’s only a pathetic indication of how low the American sensibility has fallen. Please, get it together.
Wait a minute, didn’t Palin move back to Alaska to get away from showbiz cause she really wasn’t out to be a TV star? But she needs to bask in the video camera’s glare since she’s also not made to hold down a real job that pays $10 an hour. Kids today are all about the glamor and not about putting in real work that doesn’t make them famous.
I thought we were done with these people. Ugh.
They’re saving the episode,for sweeps week, where Sarah dumps Trig off and tells Bristol she’s tired of watching “her kid”.
Why would anyone wanna watch a show about a young woman who’s not bright nor educated, does not learn from her mistakes and cannot get a regular job because she has no skills?
This is bad for the network for women. It demeans their target demo.
Judgemental? Do all of you know Bristol personally? Maybe we should all talk about your child like all of you are doing to Sarah’s. Of course it goes without saying that any girl that gets pregnant out of wedlock is no good, a slut, etc… How antiquated is that point of view. Why would anybody judge Bristol by her mother? She didn’t ask for her mother to run for VP let alone Gov. of Alaska. Has Bristol made mistakes? YES, has she learned from them, some yes, some she is still learning. Is she really the only girl you know of to have a baby out of wedlock? Honestly? There are no others? Well, that is what all of you make it sound like. Shame on all of you!! Good kids get bit, good kids make bad decisions, good kids have babies out of wedlock and at early ages. Actually, I would bet that there are more good kids having babies than bad ones. Why? Because they are not prepared. The heat of the moment. I know, none of you or any of your family could possibly allow the heat of the moment to ruin your perfectness.
Have any of you heard of bullying? That is what you are doing. Bullying a young girl for no good reason. The Bristol I have met is a very nice young woman. I’ll take the Palins any day over the Kardashians. UGH.. talk about people that are being rammed down everybodies throat. Ever heard of over exposure? Hello Kardashians. This mom of two girls is tired of “adults” bad mouthing young people, especially when they don’t even know them. I’d love to meet each and every one of you!!
Oh, spare me the faux outrage. The vast majority of the comments here have nothing to do with Bristol having a kid out of wedlock — they’re just saying that the show sounds dull, irrelevant and untimely. Which it is.
Actually both Kardashians & the Palins have been shoved down our throats. Neither family has anything to be proud of, neither is a prize. They are both embarasmsents . As far as the Palins go, if your in the public eye- it comes with scrutiny . They come together you can’t just pick & choose. And Sarah brought all this on herself mainly out of greed for money.Everything for Sarah seems to come with a pricetag .
Um…Real Housewives…Jersey Shore…Teen Moms…Fantasia…The Kardashians…Sarah Palin’s Alaska.
What are they exec wife’s making the calls who get picked up.
The Lifetime Network should be ashamed of itself.
However, I must admit that if one of the episodes shows Bristol going over Niagara Falls in a barrel, I’ll tune in.
Scripted TV is better? Really?
Yes Scripted tv is better than this crap
