I'm just going to come right out and say that I am not a fan of Mutt & Stuff. I love dogs, but even that love is not enough for me to put up with this show. Calvin Millan might very well be the worst actor I have ever seen. Seriously, does this guy ever stop smiling? Watching him actually makes my face hurt. It's clear that he's only on this show because he is the son of producer Cesar Millan, which only makes me despise them both even more than I already did. I have never liked Cesar, and this goes back to his previous show the Dog Whisperer. All that show ever did was point out things that most dog owners should already know (a lot of common sense things), and the fact that this guy is so highly regarded is baffling to me. The trend continues with Mutt & Stuff, only this time around they seem to be under the impression that their audience are absolute idiots. As the mother of a 5 year old I take offense to that. My son watches the show from time to time, but admits that he's not crazy about it. This show has no educational value. The only thing that's even remotely entertaining are the dogs themselves, who all consistently outperform their human counterpart. A point that really spotlights Calvin Millan's nonexistent acting ability considering that it's obvious these dogs are reacting to a trainer off-screen. Nick Jr. shows are nothing like they used to be, but at least the majority of them attempt to teach kids something. This one, however, does not. A lot have suggested that this show would be better if the Millan's remained behind the camera, and while I agree that a change like that would make the show more bearable, it still wouldn't make the show any more educational, which is something I thought Nick Jr. was striving for. Maybe I'm wrong about that.
