This had been in production for a long time, but it didn’t look like it would ever get off the ground.
Now it has a release date and anything with Mike Tyson in it has to be considered Must See TV even if it is a show about pigeons.
As a kid growing up in a bad Brooklyn neighborhood, Mike Tyson was fascinated by the pigeons that flocked around his apartment building.
The birds, considered a dirty nuisance to most people, were beautiful to him.
The former heavyweight champion says they’re the first thing he ever loved in his life, and he reconnects with his childhood passion in “Taking on Tyson,” a six-part docudrama that debuts March 6 on Animal Planet.
Tyson says he thinks the show will give him a chance to broaden the horizons of people who don’t know anything about pigeons.
I think we all have little quirks that we carry into adulthood. I have a full size cardboard cut out of Spider-Man in my man cave. Tyson thing is pigeons, better than fighting dogs (sorry Michael Vick).
Tyson is providing quite the come back story in his middle portion of his life.
Honestly most people thought he would be dead or any jail by now.
