I thought it was pretty funny. But that Inspector wasn't really that funny.

Which is that not only is this Palin reality show the *exact same thing*, they are driving home the point by having the Gosselins as guest stars on the premiere! Coming for the November sweeps, 2011 - a very special episode - "Bristol's Pregnant Again!" What a co-ink-i-dink. <------still remembers what the letters TLC stood for. Is there no end to the relentless pounding of tragic irony?
