Mike Tyson Mysteries is an American adult animated television series,
and the first to be produced by Warner Bros. Animation for Adult Swim.
It premiered October 27, 2014. The series features Mike Tyson solving
mysteries, in the style of I Am the Greatest: The Adventures of
Muhammad Ali, Scooby-Doo, Jonny Quest, and Mr. T. On December 10,
2014, Adult Swim renewed the series for a second season, which
premiered on November 1, 2015. A third season premiered on May 14,
2017, and the remaining Season 3 episodes aired from March 4, 2018 to
May 13, 2018. A fourth season aired in Summer 2019 and early
2020.During a May 2020 interview, writer Larry Dorf revealed the show
had not been renewed and the fourth season would be its last. Adult
Swim aired reruns as of 2020.The show follows the fictional
misadventures of boxer/actor Mike Tyson, the ghost of the Marquess of
Queensberry, Tyson's adopted daughter, and an alcoholic talking
pigeon, as they solve mysteries around the world. The style of the
show borrows heavily from the 1983â€"86 Ruby-Spears produced Mister T
featuring actor/wrestler Laurence Tureaud as himself as well as 1970's
Hanna-Barbera productions such as Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and The
Funky Phantom. Targeted at a much older demographic than those
children-oriented cartoons, the show contains adult language and
concepts in the manner of Family Guy, South Park, and many other Adult
Swim shows. While each episode involves a mystery as a framing device,
they are often ignored entirely while the plot takes a completely
different (and often oddball) direction as the mysteries are rarely
solved and episodes sometimes end on cliffhangers that are never
resolved.The series has received mostly positive reviews from critics.
The show currently holds an 82% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 11
reviews, with its consensus being: "A dizzying whirl of lowbrow and
high-concept, Mike Tyson Mysteries should more than satisfy fans of
Adult Swim's signature blend of animated silliness." On Metacritic,
the show has a score of 75 out of 100 based on 6 reviews, indicating
"generally favorable" reviews.
