I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm kinda sad about Steve Irwin [View All]

[LynneSin]

I watched his shows a few time - I thought they were pretty much kinda dumb. But then again I'm a 30-something single gal who prefers shows along the line of "Sex and the City", "Entourage" and "Lost".

Although I don't have kids, I have nieces & nephews and I have friends with kids. And those kids loved the Crocodile Hunter. Even my mother likes him because he was a guest on Regis & Kelly (and my mother loves that show). But for the kids it was a goofy show about a goofy guy that goes stalking after creatures far & wide. But that goofiness was paydirt for the kids who I know my nieces and nephews adored watching that show when they were younger. And the fact that they LEARNED something about the show created by a bit of a goofball made it even more appealling to kids & parents alike.

So don't mind me if I'm simply stunned by the negativity around the death of Steve Irwin. I mean, gosh, I could expect this if it was Barney but Crocodile Hunter was an important show geared towards the young and the young at heart. His show built the Animal Planet network (a channel that my one niece didn't have on her local cable and started a writing petition to get it.)

So stop acting like a bunch of 'know-it-all-elitist-liberals' - Crocodile Hunter, you will be sorely missed!!
