Producer Leonard Goldberg had the initial idea three years previously, for a show that would be a cross between "The Avengers" and "Honey West", a short-lived drama from the 1960s about a female private eye. Goff and Roberts had first titled the series "The Alley Cats" in which the three females (named Allison, Lee, and Catherine) would reside in alleys and wear whips and chains. Jackson disapproved of the title, and since she was given semi-control over the development of the series, she encouraged producers to find a new title. It was Jackson who decided the three women would be called "Angels" after seeing a picture of three angels hanging in Spelling's office, and the series became known as "Harry's Angels". This title was dropped, however, when ABC did not want to run into conflict with the series "Harry O", and was thereby changed to "Charlie's Angels".
