Was Throb Jane Leeves first regular sitcom role? Had she appeared in any other series pre-Throb?

Posted by Blair85smom:

It was her 1st role and I really liked this show.

I believe Throb would have been Jane Leeve's first American sitcom appearance. I do know that she was a dancer on the Benny Hill Show in the early 80s in her native England. I also believed she appeared on a number of Britcoms and soapies as well. Hope this helps!!!

Her first sitcom was Double Trouble.

I enjoyed Throb. It was about a record company. It was a very good show. I wonder how many episodes were made.

Jane Leeves was in Double Trouble?!? Gosh, I don't remember that at all. Of course, I don't remember much about the show period, other that Katey Seagal's twin sisters stared in it!!!

She's not listed in The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows under the Double Trouble cast.

I think there's a mistake at the Internet Movie Database because they list her as 'Blue' on Double Trouble when she actually played 'Blue' on Throb...

No Jane wasn't in "Double Trouble" . . which I have never heard of. At least I don't think so. But yeah she was in "Blue" and definately "Throb".

Jane Leeves never appeared on Double Trouble. I've never seen Throb. I wish they would air this show on tv again just so I could see Jane with big hair.

This is WAY beyond cool!! I have met so many people who look at me like I have three heads when I mention this show because they've never heard of it. As far as "Double Trouble", that show had Jean and Liz Sagal in it. They were twin sisters. I believe they're Katey Sagal's sisters. It was on NBC, and it was pretty funny.

I read somewhere that 'Double Trouble' was a spin-off from Throb.

No Double Trouble wasn't a spin-off of Throb. DT premiered in 1984 and Throb in 1986.

stratman · 05-03-2005, 12:05 AM

Yeah, I thought so. I think I read that at jumptheshark.com, but I had doubts, because as you said, DT premiered in 1984 while Throb didn't premiere until 86.

Wow... Jane has some really BIG 80s hair in the cast picture at the top of the page!!!

I had never heard of Throb until ten minutes ago.

Has it been aired any time recently?
