Hammertime

Hammertime is a reality TV show on the A&E Network about M.C. Hammer and his family, produced by 3Ball Productions Inc. The title comes from the lyrics of Hammer's song "U Can't Touch This" (which became a popular culture catchphrase used in many television shows and movies), as well as his nickname. Unlike previous shows Hammer was involved with, Hammertime focused only on him and his family who are living in Tracy, California in a large ranch-style abode situated on a two-acre corner lot. At the time the show began, Hammer and his wife Stephanie had been married for over 25 years and raising six children: Bobby, Jeremiah, Sammy, Sarah, A'keiba (eventually spending some time at college) and nephew Jamaris; along with his cousin Marv co-starring. After Hammer's personal superstar status, he wanted to involve his entire family with him for this project. Hammer served as one of the executive producers for the show. The series premiered June 14, 2009, airing on Sundays at 10 PM EST. For the first season, 11 episodes and a bonus 12th were ordered. Webisodes can still be viewed on the network's website.
