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animation here is great throwback style like you'd see from Johnny Quest, Sealab 2020, Scooby Doo, and other somewhat outdated Cartoon Network stuff.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.
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.
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.

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?
