Mike Tyson Mysteries is an American adult animated mystery/black comedy television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation and Williams Street for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. It ran from 2014 to 2020, airing 70 episodes that spanned four seasons. 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, the Marquess of Queensberry, a flamboyant Scottish ghost, and a badmouthed talking pigeon simply called 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.
