The animation here is great throwback style like you'd see from Johnny Quest, Sealab 2020, Scooby Doo, and other somewhat outdated Cartoon Network stuff. However, this attributes to the shows greatness, as it's done classically yet in a contemporary fashion. As a plot seemingly appears into the third episode, I am becoming more and more drawn to the show and it's backgroundless characters. Mike Tyson is a doof, but ultimately comes off as a slapstick genius, occasionally beating helpless and innocent people often times fatally usually over a simple miscommunication, misunderstanding, or just stupidity and yet the balance of justice remains in his favor as he continues his metaphysical quest to solve the ultimate mystery. It's not just slapstick though, if fact, it's not a majority of the much much humor found within the witty word play and throwback references, as well as the dark black humor of the pigeon, who is played so perfectly by Norm McDonald. Over all you kind find several good pauses of silence, followed by a delayed bursting out of laughter. The best thing exhibited in this show however is the voice work. Jim Rash, Norm McDonald, and Mike Tyson are a triple threat. And props to Rachel Ramras who thankfully grounds the show to reality by being one of the most sensible and at the same time sarcastically humorous that winds oft winds up being a kick in the funny bone.
People who don't like this show are simply taking it too seriously. Mike Tyson is intentionally portrayed as a complete moron and it's REALLY funny. Norm McDonald is also hilarious and you can tell they let him write a majority of his own lines as most of his dialogue matches what his old standup feels like.
When I heard of this show I knew I needed to see it. It's a spoof of Hanna-Barbera shows like Scooby Doo but this one starring Mike Tyson himself. And it is absolutely ridiculous in the best way possible.
Mike Tyson plays himself but as a guy who drives around in his Mystery Mobile along with his adopted Asian daughter, a gay ghost and a talking pigeon solving mysteries. That right there was enough for me to take notice but then I watched the first episode and couldn't stop giggling.
Mike of course is played like an idiot but one that means well and wants to help people. He can't speak properly, misunderstands everything and solves his problems by punching them.
His daughter is the voice of reason, the gay ghost provides exposition and the pigeon drinks and acts snarky. What's not to love?

I was skeptical before I watched the first episode. I thought it would be stupid. I was so very wrong.
This is one of the funniest series I've seen in years. I've recommended this to all my friends and they've loved it as well.
I just hope that there is a fifth season on the way.
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.
