Mike Tyson Mysteries is an American adult animated mystery/black comedy TV series produced by Warner Bros. Animation and Williams Street for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. It ran from 2014 to 2020, airing 70 episodes. The series is a mixed parody of I Am the Greatest: The Adventures of Muhammad Ali, Ruby-Spears' Mister T, and various Hanna-Barbera series including Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, Jonny Quest, and The Funky Phantom.
Retired celebrity boxer, Mike Tyson (voiced by himself), now solves unconventional mysteries that are absurd and surreal as his team lineup: His adopted Korean daughter, Yung Hee, a flamboyant Scottish ghost, and a badmouthed talking pigeon.
Production
Development
The connection to Hanna-Barbera's series would've been even less subtle by Warner Bros. original intention in wanting characters to appear in the series, evident by the unaired pilot directed by co-developer Giancarlo Volpe.[1]
Music
The music was composed by Walker Martin.
