I have always been a fan of adult swim and this show is one of my favorites. It has its fair share of gags but also has its witty moments. The writers purposefully implement hard lines for Mike to read and he constantly screws them up in humorous ways such as when he tries to say "Chupacabra". The voice acting is great and the Mike Tyson jokes never get old. I'm excited to see how the show develops. The gay ghost in the show seems to be the voice of reason for Mike, trying to help him think out situations and control his emotions. Pigeon is an alcoholic asshole who does his own thing, and Mike's Asian American daughter Yung Hee is a very intelligent young girl constantly having to put up with Mike and his antics. To keep it brief, Mike Tyson Mysteries is not the average ridiculous Adult Swim cartoon and I see it as a great add on to the networks line up.

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.

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.

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.
