Bristol Palin is returning to reality TV!

Two years after competing on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," single mom Palin, 20, is set to appear in her own 10-episode Lifetime reality series, "Bristol Palin: Life's a Tripp."

"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. 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, the network's Executive Vice President, Programming Rob Sharenow told Us Weekly in a statement Wednesday.

Palin's docuseries -- costarring her 3-year-old son with ex Levi Johnston -- is expected to premiere later this year.

Why do I read this announcement as just another attempt by mommy dearest to control her roll in the media?

1. I only hope it doesn't compete with Assange's talk show for a time slot.

2. Not exactly must see TV. n/t

3. Thanks for the heads up

but I won't be watching any of those episodes. Pubic hair wouldn't even get me there

4. It's times like this

I'm grateful I had to cancel my Comcast TV feed. Been watching Documentaries and various British series on Netflix for the last month or so -- much better for my I.Q. level and I don't have to shell out the extra $50.00 a month.

6. Which British series have you been watching?

I haven't started Downton Abby yet. My GF and I are just finishing up Lark Rise to Candleford.

10. Just Finished "Downton Abbey"

and really liked it. I've been re-watching some of ,my old favorites: "Good Neighbors," "Plaid Adder," "Elizabeth R," and "Upstairs/Downstairs."

I watched "Behaving Badley" with Judy Dench (OK), Scarlet and Black (OK), and the Politician's Wife (pretty good). The BEST thing I've watched recently but Netflix only has the first 2 of 4 seasons is "Monarchy." It's a history of the English Monarchy from the beginning (Uther). I've watched it twice now and am tempted to watch it again. Unfortunately Season Two only brings it up to Charles II.

Do you have any recommendations?

[Javaman]

11. Wow, you are really up on your BBC.

We have just gotten into Doc Martin. I love the dry humor of it.

I also have been watching on Netflix "Island at war". It's about a fictional British Island (based on the Isle of Jersey) that is occupied by German forces during WWII.

5. This turkey will fold after a few episodes

No one is interested. Bristol is a total yawner.

7. Bristol who?

[sellitman]

8. I bet it will give Jersey Shore a good run for the money!

Can reality and the name Palin actually coexist?

9. Ahhh, Grifting like mom.

Makes me all fuzzy inside.
