The show's description sums it up, but it's funny as hell. What makes this show is the casting, and I'm singling out Norm MacDonald in the role he was born to play: a divorced degenerate whose ex-wife turned him into a pigeon, and now he solves mysteries. The rest of the team is comprised of Mike Tyson, Mike's adopted 18-year-old Korean daughter, and a ghost from the mid-to-late 1800's, and they're like Scooby-Doo but with more substance abuse and sad murders. This show is nonsense, but it's hilarious nonsense.
Love this show, so funny and unpredictable. Mike is hilarious! I really like his little clips at the end of the episodes. I hope they make more episodes cause it's a cool show.
Mike Tyson Mysteries is one of the silliest shows on television. Adult Swim is really the only channel that could get away with broadcasting it. The whole show is essentially a parody of Scooby Doo. The characters are all just a random crew composed of a ghost, an alcoholic pigeon, Mike Tyson and his adopted teenage daughter. Its really funny watching Tyson's stupid character throughout the series and his voice acting is terrible but it works. Pigeon, who is voiced by Norm MacDonald, is also a very funny character and is my personal favorite. The show is funny and I've enjoyed watching the whole season. The show is already renewed for a second season and I'm sure I'll be tuning in. If you are a fan of any Adult Swim shows, chances are that you will enjoy this one as well.
To say I went into Mike Tyson Mysteries looking for quality entertainment and laughs would be completely overstating it. Yes, I recognized immediately that this cartoon looked to be in the same vein as WB's earlier "Space Ghost" and"Harvey Birdman" while existing within a satire of Scooby Doo. I didn't even bother to read the synopsis; I just pressed Play on the Netflix button.
And from there, I proceeded to laugh, out loud and without breath, for almost 10 minutes straight.
Mike Tyson Mysteries knows exactly what it is and what it wants to be. Personally I think it's rare when you have a vision in mind and then you actually see it evolve from conception to completion with it being exactly as you had intended. I suspect that the creators of MTM might have surpassed even their expectations.
MTM is absurd, irreverent, ridiculous and hilarious. It's everything I wanted it to be and it's now shot to the top of my list as one of the funniest cartoons I've ever seen in my 48 years on the planet.
I'm not going to discuss the animation, plots or voice acting or even bother to tell you who's in it, besides Mike Tyson.
Sometimes you have to just press Play for yourself.

I am 55 years old. I grew up on the Bugs Bunny, Road Runner Hour, Flintstones Etc. Mike Tyson Mysteries is the funniest show I have ever seen in my life! I DVR every episode and then binge watch. Mike Tyson is so good at everything in this production. Norm McDonald as "Pidgeon" is too good to be true. Adult swim is the only channel that could pull this off and they have the tiger by the tail. Kudos to all the production staff that work on this well sculpted show. Keep the episodes coming, I can not get enough.
