Hammer Time (TV)
Published December 10, 2003
CMU reports:
MC Hammer (remember him?) is planning to partner with TV producer Devon Shepard to make a programme based around the former rapper's life as a minister and family man since he quit music back in 1997.
Sheperd told reporters: "The show is going to focus more on his family as well as himself adjusting to their new lifestyle - they're not broke, they're not rich, they're just not in the same tax bracket as they were when he was a rapper - as well as his kids adjusting to having their father at home every day. Hammer and I both agreed that we were going to try to approach this kind of like 'The Cosby Show' was in the '80s, to really give it that traditional feel that I think is lacking in television right now."
The show will be aired on the WB network in the US who have an existing
programme development deal with Hammer.
Marty's band, Growing Old Disgracefully, can be found at: Disgraceful Music. His Cthulhu tales can be found at Temple of Dagon.
