ynopsis

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 were alive and could speak), which when worn cause Burell 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 MC Hammer's signature purple parachute pants and myriad golden chains.

The show was hosted by the real MC Hammer, who also sang the show's theme song, telling about the origin of Hammerman. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, Gramps (real name unrevealed) was the superhero Soulman, but as he grew older, he grew weaker and was forced to retire. Gramps and his granddaughter Jodie traveled to find the next new superhero. Their search was over when they met Stanley and when he put on the shoes.

Thirteen episodes of the program were produced.
