Paul Walker's Forgotten '80s Sitcom "Throb" Resurfaces

In 2025, fans of actor Paul Walker are getting a rare glimpse into his early career. Before rising to fame in the "Fast & Furious" franchise, Walker had a role in the short-lived 1980s sitcom "Throb."

The sitcom, which aired in syndication for two seasons, starred Diana Canova as a 30-something divorcee who starts a new job at an independent record label in Manhattan. Walker, then just 12 years old, played her son Jeremy in the first season before being replaced by another actor.

Despite its unfortunate title, "Throb" was a charming show that also featured several other future stars, including a pre-"Frasier" Jane Leeves. However, the series has become nearly impossible to watch today, with only low-quality YouTube clips available for those hoping to revisit it.
