O'Shea was actually my favorite of the three. His approach was more scientific and techniques better for the animals. The only prblem with this, is that while we saw this as informative, much of the viewing public saw it as boring.
Irwin's on air demeanor, excitability, and showmanship kept people tuned in, and most developed a respect (and love in some cases) for reptiles they would not have otherwise had. His techniques and knowledge came from years of practical experience, rather than years of study. I feel this was good in some cases, and not so good in others.
As for the stingray incident, I bet that fella lifted that ray from the top...a big no-no! Again, a freak accident.
