Does anybody (wish they could not) remember a TV comedy called "Throb", set in the offices of a record label? (The throb record label had a logo of a heart so stop that!)..

One episode had a 'punk' theme, where the three band members were all sulky and snotty and not nice, but when it came to the gig, one of the band members was all nice and rocky and the other two all rubbish. Clearly the two were actors and the rocky one was a bona fide star guest.

At the end the record label guy was all "yeah, I guess the kids go for it, I'm more a CSN&Y guy myself"

( I think Sammy Hagar was involved somehow)

(Like I don't actually know it was him, like)

Just read about some Paul Revere (RIP) appearance on some TV show, can't remember what though.

They were on Batman:

John Mellencamp getting the name Cougar because he looked at the back end of a shitty 70s car!

this SCTV sketch was a parody of Jerry Lewis' Nutty Professor

I had nearly purged that show out of my head completely. Here's the wedding episode with guests Donny Osmond and James Brown dubbed into German. Go to hell.
