Earlier this year we learned that MC Hammer, of U Can’t Touch This Fame, was making a comeback by starring in a new reality TV series called Hammertime that focuses on his family life. After a few months of filming, the series is about ready to debut on A&E … so let’s get acquainted with the Hammer‘s, shall we?

Hammertime is a reality series that focuses on the Hammer family as they live their not-so-simple lives in Tracy, California. Having a family and re-launching the Hammer empire is not an easy task, but with wisdom, faith and a relentless tenacity to strive through any adversity, this family is stronger than ever. Hammer and his wife Stephanie have been married for 24 years and together they are raising six children. For the Hammers, every day is a challenge. While spending the last seventeen years readjusting to his middle class lifestyle, Hammer never lost his thirst and desire to regain superstar status, and is now poised to bring his family along with him for the ride.

Because the show is on A&E, I suspect Hammertime will have the same feel that Gene Simmons Family Jewels will have … and by that I mean, it won’t be trashy nor will it pander to the lowest common denominator (like, say, The Osbournes). I am a big fan of the Simmons family show because the kids seems somewhat respectful and aren’t rewarded for displaying reckless behavior. I’m hoping that MC Hammer and his 6 children will be just as classy. Hammer is a man of God, I suspect he’ll not stoop to the usual low levels of Reality TV trashiness (like say, Being Bobby Brown). After the jump, check out the trailer for Hammertime which debuts on A&E on Sunday June 14 …

Guess what time it is …

Aww … it looks cute. I’m happy that we live in a world that would give a man like MC Hammer another shot at stardom. Are any of y’all planning on tuning in to watch Hammertime?
