Back when Mike Tyson was knocking people out in seconds, who would’ve thought he would have had an animated show solving mysteries on Adult Swim. No one, but that is exactly what is happening tonight at 10:30p in Mike Tyson’s Mysteries. It’s like Scooby Doo for adults, but even better than you could wish for.
Mike Tyson has gone from boxing extraordinaire to the best crime solver in the world. He can’t do it all by himself, so he has a team of people helping him out. He has been raising Yung Hee (Rachel Ramras) since she was left at his doorstep as a baby and now she is getting ready to go to college. John Chambers the 9th Marquess of Queensberry (Jim Rash), a know-it-all ghost who got Tyson to turn his life around. Finally, there is Pigeon (Norm MacDonald), who used to be human and now he is a wisecracking drunk pigeon who lives with them all. You see, they get their cases from carrier pigeons, so it makes sense that he would have a talking pigeon. Right?
Tonight, they get a carrier pigeon from Carmac McCarthy, who needs their help to finish his book. So it is off in the Mystery Van they go. When they get there, the find out they are there to get rid of a Chupacabra. The best part of the series premiere is watching Mike Tyson trying to pronounce the urban legend. A name he still can’t even say as of a few weeks ago. Something he demonstrated at a press event that had everyone in the room laughing. I knew Iron Mike was funny from watching him on talk shows, but to witness it in person is a completely different thing.
Now you might not believe he is naturally funny as all hell, but we were told that a lot of executives didn’t think he was voicing his own character on the show. He thinks, “It’s because they can’t understand it or else it sounds very distinguished?” I am thinking the latter.
So what can you expect from the animated crime solving show? In the upcoming weeks, Mike Tyson Mysteries goes to IBM and the episode is built on a joke. He will also travel to the Moon because of something his wife told the producers about his bad driving. He’s also heading to Nicaragua to stop the building of canal that is really happening. On another show, Tyson has a rash and he blames Pigeon so he kicks him out. Be prepared to hear McDonald let loose. And in one episode, he will help a couple buy a house. The last one is something the Hangover star is not good at because he told us if someone is selling a house for $5 million, he offers them $7.5 million.
If that is not enough to get you to watch, there will be singing, lots and lots of singing. Tonight, you will hear him sing about bird sex. In a future episode he belts out, a song about converting to Christianity.
Mike Tyson Mysteries is a great way to end your Tuesdays because it is so out there, and yet so much fun. Plus, who doesn’t want to see one of the greatest boxers of all time be an animated crime solving version of himself. It’s a cartoon for you and me to enjoy and when the kids are finally asleep. We all loved watching cartoons as kids and now we have one to enjoy as adults. But don’t tell the little ones because than they will want to stay up and watch it, and this is only for us!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY3dl99Mhw8 Hair Jacked is unlike any other game show on television and because of that you are going to want to watch it on TruTV at 8p tonight.
Two unsuspecting people go into a hairstylist to get their hair done, but what the don’t know is that they are about to be part of a game show. After they are washed and the cutting has begun, that is when the fun really starts. Because that’s when Jon Gabrus comes out to give them the rules of the game. The first round they have to guess what something is by reading the clue backwards in the mirror in front of them. Then that mirror becomes a prop as the contestants use it to draw their clues with shaving cream on it. Now, they get to sit back in the chair as they get to answer some trivia questions. Finally, they both answer the same questions and the winner of the first four rounds goes on to the final one. If they get every question right, then they get an awesome trip. If they don’t, then they get an awful haircut. As the weeks go on, the hairstyles get worse and worse. And that is more than enough reason to tune. All I will tell you about tonight’s episode, is the winner loses and gets a new look he never ever wanted!

Then at 10p, it is time for Fake Off the best dance competition show to ever grace our televisions.
Each week, five dance groups with different talents like shadowing, lights and puppetry create a dance assigned to them with a pop culture theme. Tonight they will bring videogames, the Titanic, television shows, cartoons and the Super Bowl to life via dance. Next week, they do Westerns, horror movies, local news, Sci-Fi and the Olympics to the stage in a unique way.
Then after they have wowed us, it is time for the judges Harry Shum Jr, TLC’s Chili and Michael Curry. I don’t always agree with them, but luckily they don’t have the final stay, the audience does.
Words cannot describe how incredible this dance competition show is. Seeing is truly believing when it comes to this imaginative show. So tune in tonight and every Monday at 10p for making dance shows fun and exciting again!
OK Go is the King of Music Videos for the new century and they want to wow you with their new one. I Won’t Let You Don’t Down starts off slow, but then there is a moment that will leave you in awe for the rest of it. Once it all syncs together, you won’t be saying that their latest let you down.

We’ve heard LeVar Burton read children book’s, but we’ve never heard him read the one that parents secretly read when their unruly baby won’t go to sleep. That storybook is Adam Mansbach’s Go the F*ck to Sleep.
It wasn’t as good as Samuel L Jackson’s version, but it still really f*cking awesome to hear read something so naughty. Don’t you agree?
