I Was 8 years old when this aired on ABC back in the Fall of 1991 and although I LOVED Hammer like everyone else especially in the Black Community, even as an Eight year old Kid, I KNEW this was BAD. Hilariously Awful. You're really lucky that you got to be included as an Extra in the opening as a little girl. :)

In the cartoon series, Youth Center worker Stanley Burrell (Hammer's real name) owns a pair of magical dancing shoes (which are alive and can speak), which when worn cause Burrell to transform into the superhero, Hammerman. He frequently gets advice from his "Gramps," who was a former owner of the shoes and was known as "Soulman." While in the guise of "Hammerman." Burrell was dressed in M.C. Hammer's signature purple parachute pants and myriad golden chains. The show was hosted by the real M.C. Hammer, who also sang the theme song, telling about the origin of Hammerman. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, Gramps (which real name unknown) was the superhero, Soulman, but as he grew older, he grew weaker and was forced to retire. Gramps and his granddaughter, Jodie, traveled around the world to find the next new superhero. Their search was finally over when they met Stanley and he puts on the shoes. Each episode, Hammerman faces various social issues; at the end of each episode, a puppet version of the magic shoes would speak to a live child audience and provide methods the children could use to address these issues themselves. The show aired on ABC Saturday mornings from September 7, 1991 to December, 7, 1991. It lasted for only one season and 13 episodes.
This is just outside of my primary nostalgia range. It’s easier now to have nostalgia for the 1990s but in June 1991 my life got way worse and it hadn’t gotten any better by September 1991. But thanks for uploading it so I can try to enjoy it now with additional perspective :-)
I found out last month, Lost Media Wiki user "MushroomMan" discovered the titles of the 3 remaining unknown Hammerman episodes "Cupid's Sting", "Real Friends, the Musical", and "Stanley's Big Break" via a series of documents created by DIC Entertainment in 1998 that had been uploaded to the United States Copyright Office's website (these four episodes sharing the exact same composers as all other Hammerman episodes). This discovery also revealed that "Will and the Jerks" was never an episode of the show to begin with (as Lost Media Wiki user "Elizabello" had previously claimed in a comment).
+Retro90kid85, only 5 episodes of Hammerman are available on the Internet, as ripped from the official home video releases: "Defeated Graffiti", "Rapoleon", "Winnie's Winner", "Nobody's Perfect", 1 episode "Dropping Out", from the original ABC airing, apart 3 episodes "Lights, Camera, Hammer!", "Blast From the Past", and "Who's Who" with Spanish over-dubbing, and apart another episode upload, "If the Shoe Fits" with Polish over-dubbing, only 8 episodes are available in English, and 14 more episodes "Will and the Jerks", "If the Shoe Fits" (English version), "Practice Makes Perfect", "Bite the Bullet", "Lost", "The Wrong Turn", "Hide N Seek", "Operation: Rescue Hammerman", "Work This", "Not Everything is What It Seems", the English versions of "Lights, Camera, Hammer!", "Blast From the Past", and "Who's Who" have to be found.

@@doggone_dogman whatever kinda money they put into the intro, they definitely did it for me, to where i like it (if not "love it" for the instrumental) 👍🏾 the show itself though...i haven't watched it yet (as of commenting), but it'll likely be a different story from how i think of the intro
+Retro90kid85, can you find the episodes "Practice Makes Perfect", "Bite the Bullet", "Lost", "The Wrong Turn", "Hide N Seek", "Operation: Rescue Hammerman" and "Episode 13" ripped from VHS?
I SO loved this when it was on the air, but just like Popeye, I can't stand to watch it anymore. Feels bad man! Needed better artwork and a slightly improved plot I think. The idea is still sound, I've just been spoiled by modern cartoons.
The animation is so freaking pathetic like are they really that lazy or just didn’t even care? At least crappy toons like mega babies at least the animation doesn’t look like it was just two or three frames being lazily animated
The Analytical Menace I guess they blew their budget on the live action segments and at least the intro was smoothly animated. MC hammer should ashamed of himself by doing this cartoon
The two most likely scenarios are that the episodes were rushed to meet a deadline, or the budget was so mismanaged that the money to pay the animators ran out. I don’t think it’s fair to blame the animators, it’s bad enough they spent 9-5 working on Hammerman
the world needs MC hammer more than ever
I am one of the kids in the beginning of the cartoon. Pink outfit doing the running man. LOL So funny to watch after all these years.

I think it's safe to say Hammerman won't be a part of the either the Avengers or Justice League.
That is so cool! ❤

No lie, this was a great cartoon from my childhood, but looking back at it the animation looks like something from the 70's

Damn these commercials 😭😭 It was fun being a kid on Saturday mornings.
Best quality online .Thanks!

Saturday mornings on ABC, I used to watch this.
*Reed Shelly and Bruce Shelly* wrote for MC Hammer cartoon! They also wrote _Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog!_ Jesus they were writing for everybody!
Even the commercials are killing me
Listening to this "rap" makes me appreciate Vanilla Ice a little more.
27:11 - "I'm M.C. Hammer, the HAMMERMAN, and I'm outta here. PEACE!"
I love this stuff!

6:15 is probably the best thing in the whole show
Were there *ANY* in-between animators?
😂😂😂

yeah Hammerman episodes are rare to find. but i'am still lookin for more
Cute cartoon
My God the animation quality in certain scenes are so bad! Thanks for posting this
lol i totally agree with u on that
That's what happens when you blow your animation budget on the intro
@@doggone_dogman whatever kinda money they put into the intro, they definitely did it for me, to where i like it (if not "love it" for the instrumental) 👍🏾
the show itself though...i haven't watched it yet (as of commenting), but it'll likely be a different story from how i think of the intro
Was it really too much work to add some inbetweens in the animation?
hammerman you are the best song why guy not being nice
Wow. I came her from N.C.'s review of the show and it'seven worse than I imagined. By which I mean even better than I imagined.
love m c hammer's voice
Was this before Kid n’ Play’s cartoon
Nope They We’re First
You know he makes a very good point and perfect sense graffiti is illegal
I've seen slideshows animated better than this...
Why do you think Robot Chicken made fun of it? The only people to actually give that cartoon decent animation.
+Retro90kid85, can you find the episodes "Practice Makes Perfect", "Bite the Bullet", "Lost", "The Wrong Turn", "Hide N Seek", "Operation: Rescue Hammerman" and "Episode 13" ripped from VHS?
I’d Still Totally Would’ve Like To See The Equistria Girls Enjoy Battling A Bunch Of Bad Guys And Villains With HammerMan
I SO loved this when it was on the air, but just like Popeye, I can't stand to watch it anymore. Feels bad man! Needed better artwork and a slightly improved plot I think. The idea is still sound, I've just been spoiled by modern cartoons.
7:06 dis iz not gut
only one question WHY who thought this was a good idea to make something so SHITTY looking
Hammerman vs general zod
4:25 bill Cosby before people knew he was a rapist
The animation is so freaking pathetic like are they really that lazy or just didn’t even care? At least crappy toons like mega babies at least the animation doesn’t look like it was just two or three frames being lazily animated
It's cringe worthy, to say the least. You should see Nostalgia Critic's review of this show. It's hilarious.
The Analytical Menace I did have seen it
The Analytical Menace I guess they blew their budget on the live action segments and at least the intro was smoothly animated. MC hammer should ashamed of himself by doing this cartoon
The two most likely scenarios are that the episodes were rushed to meet a deadline, or the budget was so mismanaged that the money to pay the animators ran out. I don’t think it’s fair to blame the animators, it’s bad enough they spent 9-5 working on Hammerman
@@RosieAnims that’s fair
This show is *hypnotically* awful.
This show should go to the garbage where it’s belongs.
