What happens

The Crocodile Hunter is a wildlife documentary television series hosted by Steve Irwin and his wife, Terri. The show became a popular franchise due to Irwin's unconventional approach to wildlife. It spawned a number of separate projects, including the feature film The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course and two television spinoffs: Croc Files and The Crocodile Hunter Diaries. First airing in 1992 on Network 10 in Australia, the series received broader attention in the United States through Animal Planet, becoming the network's highest-rated series at the time, and was in international syndication on networks worldwide. The series aired 64 episodes during five seasons, from 1997 to 2004, two years before Irwin's death, with a pilot episode in 1996 and 13 specials into 2007. With a nearly 11-year run, the series is the second-longest-running program of any Discovery Communications network, behind MythBusters. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
