Throb

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the Janet Jackson song, see Throb (song).

Throb was a sitcom syndicated from 1986 to 1988 in the US. It revolved around thirty-something divorcee Sandy Beatty who gets a job at a small New Wave record label, Throb. Beatty's boss is Zach Armstrong, who looks like Michael J. Fox but dresses like Don Johnson. Beatty also has a 12-year old son named Jeremy.

Most notable was that it was the first time much of the American TV audience saw Jane Leeves, who later gained fame as Daphne Moon on Frasier. The show was distributed by Proctor & Gamble productions.
