The show nails a stellar one-two punch, playing the rapid-fire barbs exchanged between the pigeon and Queensberry against Tyson's straight-ahead buzz-saw gags. Read full review

Mike Tyson Mysteries is highbrow lowbrow lampoon, alternately smart and stupid, dizzy and disgusting. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

It is amiably absurd and mildly profane, entertaining in a dry, droll way. Read full review

Allison Keene

Oct 27, 2014

The series' humor is both audacious and intelligent, and the combination of that familiar Warner Bros. animation style coupled with modern references (all through a sendup of the style's original formulas) leaves no mystery for Mike to solve. Read full review

The first episode is fairly entertaining in an absurdist way. Read full review

Those who have willingly accepted Tyson back into the cultural mainstream--as an item of kitsch or sheer fascination--might wind up scratching their heads over the series’ motivation, which, as the episodes are constructed, feels like the entire point. And while there’s precedent for that, it feels like slim compensation even in such a modest package. Read full review

This is the funniest show I've ever seen, South Park is second. It's Iron Mike as Scooby-Doo. In his interview at the NYPL, Tyson said he didn't want to do anything that didn't have the possibility of being humiliating.

This show is so much more funny than I thought it could be and I'm always glad to hear Norm's voice. I hope it gets renewed as I love this show for it's classic vibe and spot on writing for a show like this. The perfect amount of Saturday morning mixed into an adult swim show IMHO.

Awesome carton. Kudos for Mike Tyson being able to laugh at himself, and double kudos if he came up with this idea. The writing is generally excellent, Norm MacDonald and Rachel Ramras and Jim Rash do excellent voice acting, and Tyson himself is superb. Never much cared for Tyson before,Awesome carton.

It has its funny moments and its meh moments. Good show nonetheless, I think Mike's crappy voice acting makes it a bit funnier too. I would stick around for the rest of the season

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.

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.… Expand

When I first heard about Mike Tyson Mysteries, I will admit I was intrigued. Having discussions with several friends they actually informed me they were not planning on watching or supporting the TV show because of Mr. Tyon's past criminal history and behavior.

I decided to give it a shotWhen I first heard about Mike Tyson Mysteries, I will admit I was intrigued. Having discussions with several friends they actually informed me they were not planning on watching or supporting the TV show because of Mr. Tyon's past criminal history and behavior.

I decided to give it a shot anyways and have watched several episodes, since then I have come to the conclusion that it isn't my cup of tea. While sometimes it's funny and clever, the large majority of "jokes" in the show all revolve around how stupid and dangerously murderous Mike Tyson is.

I can't rightly put my support behind a show that basically glamorizes Mike Tyson's criminal behavior. What we have here is a woman beater, a man killer and idiot of the highest caliber and it seems that the show basically celebrates that.

Some people may find it's brand of humor funny, but it honestly disgusts me people are willing to turn a blind eye to a man's terrible behavior in favor of some rather low brow humor.… Expand
