    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

    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.

    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 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

    I'm rating this an 8 solely for the episode called "Is Magic Real?" which is one of the outright funniest cartoons I've ever seen in my life and at one point had me in tears!

    Tyson's delivery is atrocious but that's the whole point, and the show builds around that - and demonstrates a hitherto unknown side of Mike that apparently has a sense of self-deprecating sense of humour.

    Tyson's delivery is atrocious but that's the whole point, and the show builds around that - and demonstrates a hitherto unknown side of Mike that apparently has a sense of self-deprecating sense of humour. What is surprising is that the comedy is very well constructed, alternating between quick payoffs and the drawn out to create a feeling of pace and unpredictability to the script.

    It's a wonderful addition to Adult Swim, but whoever came up with this concept and whoever approved it need their heads checking as it's absolutely insane!    … Expand

    I thought the first and second episodes were rough, although one of them had laugh out loud moments (can't remember which). The third one really nailed it, and I'm looking forward to more.

    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.… Expand

    It's outstanding. It's the kind of humor that I find genius. The kind of jokes that seem dumb at first blush, yet are done in a controlled chaos that is actually very intelligently applied. From Mike's pronunciation of some words, to Norm's un-PC jokes. It's funny. Like Family Guy was before Seth Macfarlane started using the show to bludgeon viewers with his pro-Democrat politics.

    The first couple of episode are decent but after that it just get even better. It is worth to watch for a quick laugh and a good parody for the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons. Also the second season opener was actually the best right and I am just expecting to see this show to grow.

    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, but this show makes me appreciate him.

    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.

    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.

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

    The first episode is fairly entertaining in an absurdist way.
