Title card.
Status: Partially Lost
Hammerman is a short-lived American-Canadian animated series produced by DIC Entertainment,[1] created by pop rapper MC Hammer. It features the voice of Clark Johnson as a youth center worker named Stanley Burrell (Hammer's real name) who owns a pair of magical dancing shoes (which are alive and can speak). When he wears them, he transforms into the superhero Hammerman. The cartoon was aired from September 7th to December 7th, 1991, on ABC for a total of 13 episodes.
Availability
As of February 2022, ten full episodes of the series have resurfaced online. Of these, five are in full English, and five are in English with a Polish overdub.
Findings
On November 7th, 2017, YouTuber areyoustilllistening uploaded the 6th episode of the show titled "Nobody's Perfect" to his channel.
On November 25th, 2018, YouTuber Peter Lavalle uploaded some clips from an old VHS recording of Hammerman onto his channel (specifically a clip of the show's intro, the first commercial break and a small bit of the episodes title card). It was later found out that Peter Lavalle's recording was actually of a previously unknown Hammerman episode entitled "Dropping Out." On January 9th, 2019, Lost Media Wiki user "YoshiKiller2S" contacted Peter Lavalle and inquired about if he could release the full episode onto YouTube or in case Peter didn't want to risk a possible copyright strike if he could send him a digital copy of the episode. Peter then later responded to him and agreed to upload the entire episode in 4 parts onto YouTube on January 12th.
On February 12th, 2019, user "JetAviator00" contacted an anonymous user that claimed to have some Hammerman episodes in the Latin American Spanish dub. One of the episodes he listed was a previously unknown episode entitled "Work this" and supplied a 1-minute clip from the episode.
On October 24th, 2019, a YouTuber named Viihdekonserni uploaded VHS recordings of the show to his YouTube channel. These recordings contained Finnish dubs of three lost Hammerman episodes.
On February 21st, 2020, Lost Media Wiki user "YoshiKiller2S" uploaded a higher-quality rip of the episode "Nobody's perfect" to YouTube. This rip came from an old VHS recording he found on eBay.
On June 1st, 2021, Lost Media Wiki user "MushroomMan" discovered the titles of the three remaining unknown Hammerman episodes via a series of documents created by DIC Entertainment in 1998 that had been uploaded to the United States Copyright Office's website (these 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).
On February 23rd, 2022, YouTuber TheSym uploaded a series of Hammerman VHS recording to their channels that contained Polish overdubs of several episodes. Not only did these contain audible English audio tracks for several episodes that previously lacked them, but they also featured the episode "Work This" in full for the first time.
