IMDb profile

Hammerman was a Saturday morning cartoon produced in by DiC Entertainment, which aired for one season (1991 - 1992) on ABC. The program featured pop rapper MC Hammer as a youth center worker named Stanley Burrell (Hammer's real name). Burell owns a pair of magical dancing shoes, which when worn cause Burell to transform into the superhero Hammerman.

Thirteen episodes of the program were produced, which aired in repeats sporadically during the season. Scheduled at 12 noon, Hammerman was often pre-empted for football game broadcasts. Hammerman was perhaps best remembered for its low-quality animation, with simply drawn characters and a poor frame rate, as well as second-rate rap songs often composed of new, 'toon-friendly lyrics set to previously recorded Hammer songs.
