Searching for the name of sitcom - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hey all,

I can't remember the name of a sitcom I've been thinking about recently. The premise was a group of people running a record label or something music industry related. The guy who ran the label looked sort of like David Spade. There was a cockney woman on it with long black curly hair who's character's name was Blue. The show was on in the late 1980s or early 1990s (I think). I can't seem to any info via Google, but I might not be remembering the show that well for the search terms. Anyone remember this show?

Thanks!

It was called "Throb" (1986)

From IMDB:

Recently on her own for the first time, thirty-something single mom, Sandy Beatty takes a job working at "Throb", an independent record label created by ambitious entrepreneur Zach Armstrong. Her son Jeremy and best friend Meredith provide a relatively safe and stable home life while work is filled with ultra-cool twenty-something reminders that she's a fish out of water. Eventually she and Zach begin a romance.

Blue was played by Jane Leeves, who played Daphne on Frasier.
