Warning: Spoilers
Mike Tyson leads a team in solving "mysteries" delivered to them by carrier pigeon. His team includes his adopted Korean daughter left on his door step. She is on the geek side. The third member is the ghost of Marquess of Queensbury, who is also gay. The fourth member is a politically incorrect, over sexed pigeon, normally called "Pigeon" but whose real name is Richard. He was changed into a pigeon for his infidelity by his witch wife Sandra nee Sanchez...now ex-wife.

The mystery tends to be simple and sometimes not even a mystery. Tyson typically ends up killing someone, sometimes by accident. The humor is politically incorrect and over the top. Some knowledge of Tyson is helpful. Sometimes I get the same feeling as when I watched the Anna Nicole Smith Show which was designed for everyone to laugh at her stupidity and not with her. Tyson speaks with his typical lisp. He mispronounces words, makes up song lyrics,misuses words, and doesn't understand simple situations. These 10-11 minute segments also manage to spoof other cartoon mysteries when murder is ignored and no one calls the police, rather they attempt to solve things by themselves.

The cartoons were downright laugh out loud funny. The humor was smart. Sometimes they would even have the end joke tie into one at the beginning, albeit only 8 minutes earlier. I even learned there is a drink called a Moscow Mule (vodka, lime juice and ginger beer) which I decided to leave off my bucket list.

This is not for the very young. Nudity is pixilated and F-bombs deleted, but that is about it. Sex is typically discussed, sometimes fairly graphically.
