‘Mr. Pickles’ and ‘Mike Tyson Mysteries’ both had back-door pilots in the last month; Here’s the pitch for Adult Swim to order them to series

We plead with the powers that be.

I mean, we’ve had like 30 spin-offs or derivations of Children’s Hospital, why not give a little more love to the newer animated comedies on Adult Swim? Recently, both Mike Tyson Mysteries and Mr. Pickles aired episodes that featured fantastic ideas of spin-offs and we’ve got good reasons to see these ideas become full-fledged series.

Mike Tyson Mysteries

Snoop Dogg’s “Unsolved Situations”

On an episode of Mike Tyson Mysteries entitled “Unsolved Situations” we got to see a mystery-esque solving team with Snoop Dogg at the helm and with sidekicks including a mountain lion and Ross Matthews. Like Mike, Snoop would get his “Unsolved Situations” via pigeons (though non-talking) and would use a few more vehicle types at his disposal (most notably a helicopter) to help solve these situations.

The episode was graded low, but I do think a spin-off of Mike Tyson Mysteries with Snoop Dogg at the helm would be excellent. For starters, I think Snoop is a better voice actor than Mike, and the possibility of a mountain lion tearing people to shreds looking for answers sounds so appealing to me. Also, Snoop can unlock a treasure trove of pot jokes that should fit well with the Adult Swim audience.

Mr. Pickles

“Astronaut Dolphin Detective”

On a recent episode of Mr. Pickles , entitled “A.D.D.”, we got a full on episode of the show within a show, Astronaut Dolphin Detective and it was pretty ridiculous. In a space adventure that would even make the producers of Rick and Morty blush, we get a dolphin working for a detective agency that is a heavy drug user, highly promiscuous, and is able clear a room of bad guys with the best of ‘em…all attributes that Mr. Pickles currently employs. The major difference being, the Dolphin gets a full cast of characters to work with, while Mr. Pickles usually kills bad guys in secret.

The episode even employed a fantastic ‘B’ plot featuring the Chief arguing with his deputy about a lasagna pan and keep lids on snacks. The space adventure itself featured fantastic character designs of the various aliens i.e. an evil space shrimp that can control a chainsaw spaceship heading to the sun with his mind, that are quite good and very creative. As a matter of fact, the aesthetic and designs of the characters reminded me a bit of AAAH! Real Monsters but obviously geared more towards a TV-MA audience.

If Lazzo, I’m ordering pilots for both, but maybe he already got them? What do you guys think? Are there other Adult Swim shows you would like to see spin-offs for?
