david-thor As noted, the animation style is a throwback to the 1960's, yet the episodes are perfectly modern, filthy and funny, especially Pigeon. The third season episodes were often weak, in my opinion, because they were rushed - how are you supposed create a whole story in about 10 minutes? Yes. I know the geniuses at Warner Bros/Looney Tunes could do that, but I bet they had far larger support staffs to help them, and some of their work really pushed the envelope by the standards of their day (and I think some of them were on drugs half the time). The last episode of the third season, "The Farmer's Daughter", had me laughing as hard as early episodes of South Park, and it easily bears re-watching, in fact I think some of the jokes are so subtle that you have to listen a few times to catch them. I hope they can write more 30-minute episodes next season and are given the money and other resources to do that. And don't even get me started on Deezy!

Fluke_Skywalker At one time "Iron" Mike Tyson was the baddest man on earth, knocking out men in less time than it will take you to read my review. Then a funny thing happened. He went bananas. Jail time, biting off a guy's ears and ending up flat broke, it was a sad tale. But maybe the tale has a happy ending. Mike now seems to have his life in balance, and the once baddest man on earth isn't above having some fun at his own expense. Case in point; 'Mike Tyson Mysteries'.In the style of the old SNL "Saturday TV Funhouse"--itself a spoof of the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons from the 70s--'Mike Tyson Mysteries' is a raunchy little comedic snack. With each episode clocking in at just under twelve minutes, it breezes by and still manages to illicit more laughs than many shows twice its length.It's not as clever as something like 'Venture Bros.' by half, but with a tight little ensemble lead by the venerable Tyson himself, it certainly packs sufficient comedic punch.

Christopher Smith I don't think I've ever been as surprised by a television series as I am by "Mike Tyson Mysteries," a show that I thought was bound to be one of the dumbest shows ever. It turns out that while, yes, the show is dumb--often very, very dumb--it's also endlessly entertaining and always hilarious. Upon first glance, it would be easy to assume "Mike Tyson Mysteries" as just a one-joke "Scooby-Doo" spoof, but although there are certainly some "Scooby-Doo" staples present (the mystery van in particular), the show transcends its goofy premise by having each episode have a vastly different mystery every week. Although the show is definitely not about great plotting or genius storytelling, the writers seem to strive not to make the show repetitive from week to week. One episode may take place in space while the next episode will be about werewolves, or something equally as silly and ridiculous. The show never forgets that its a cartoon made for adults that don't mind juvenile, immature, or random humor.The biggest surprise of "Mike Tyson Mysteries" is Mike Tyson himself. Tyson is clearly 100% in on the joke, and seemingly puts no limitations on what aspects of his life he'll make fun of. This is as funny and amusing as Mike Tyson has ever been, a far cry from the rageaholic image that Tyson has had in the past. Tyson is clearly invested in the material, and has far better comedic timing than anyone might expect. As funny as Tyson is here, he can't compare to Norm MacDonald as Pigeon, an alcoholic, profane, sarcastic pigeon that lives with Tyson. This is the perfect role for MacDonald, who has better deadpan delivery than any comedic actor working today. Pigeon could easily been a super annoying and unbearable character, but MacDonald instead manages to make him the highlight an already fantastic comedy."Mike Tyson Mysteries" is not high art, or even that ambitious of a television series. Each episode is simply fifteen minutes of silly, occasionally nonsensical, and vulgar laughs. The show easily could have been a terrible waste of time, yet somehow it's ended up being far better than it has any right to be. There are tons of people that will view the series with absolute disdain based on either either how they feel about Tyson himself or about the general absurd nature of the show. This isn't for everybody, though for me, "Mike Tyson Mysteries" is hands down the funniest series on television right now, and one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. Highly recommended for fans of adult cartoons. 9/10

ADYRollo Mike Tyson is a "knock out" in animation. This show may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I like it. It is hard to find shows that make me laugh out loud, but this one does. It may seem surprising, but Mike Tyson's animated parody of himself is funny and entertaining. The story lines are imaginative and peculiar. The supporting cast is offbeat and comical, as they set off each week to "solve" mysteries. Norm McDonald is in his element as the wise-cracking pigeon. The humor is lowbrow but hey, it's a cartoon. One of the things this show has going for it is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. I recommend giving this show a try because it may surprise you. Plus, each episode is only 12 -15 minutes long; so it's not a big commitment. I think the average viewer will want go several rounds with Mike Tyson's Mysteries.
