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!

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.

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.

Voice-over work is harder than some might realize and I had my doubts about Mike Tyson's ability to carry this off, but Tyson's work here is beyond reproach. Hopefully the plot will become more cohesive and the supporting characters' backstories will be developed; I think it has potential if given enough time but so far it's not a hit in my book and my 7 out of 10 assessment is being generous. I will revisit this if my opinion changes.While Norm MacDonald is a pro at this, his character has so far not developed into anything special. No worries because this is only at the third episode, but the writers need to get on the stick- people are not going to keep coming back unless there's a better return on their time IMHO.
