Did you happen to catch Larry the Cable Guy's television program "Only in America" last night on the History Channel? Last night was the season premier and it was entitled "Alaska Road Trip". Here is a link to it. http://www.history.com/shows/only-in-america-with-larry-the-cable-guy/videos/playlists/full-episodes#Only-in-America-with-Larry-the-Cable-Guy-Alaska-Road-Trip
A friend of mine in Minnesota sent a text message last night telling me about it. He said that Larry was going to be moose hunting with Gov. Palin in Alaska. In watching it, that isn't exactly what happened, but it was nonetheless entertaining. And pretty accurate to life here in Alaska. At the end of the program, he proclaimed that he loved Gov. Palin's parents. (or something like that affect)
Having had the honor and privilege to meet Gov. Palin's parents in person at basketball games here and would have to agree with Larry...they represent the best of Alaska and are truly wonderful people.
The part where Larry drops in unexpectantly at Gov. Palin's home actually did seem to be impromptu. I thought it was just "acting" to begin with, but he maybe did stop in without an appointment.
His show did capture the spirit of freedom here and the sense of community showing the Palmer football team packing out a moose to donate to charity.
The only thing that would have made it better would have been to cut the "adult" humor contained in it so that you would feel comfortable having your kids watch it. There is a time and a place for that in his stand-up routines, and although most of it was funny, some of it wasn't necessary for this production.
I would give it an 8 out of 10 on the entertainment scale and is worth watching if you missed it.
The snow is really coming down now...Drive careful Alaska!
