The show's title has often been the source of confusion. The show onscreen was titled "Pink Lady," but the series is most commonly referred to as "Pink Lady and Jeff". Altman felt that since he carried the show, his name should appear in the title, and the network agreed, but Pink Lady's manager strongly protested and threatened a lawsuit if "and Jeff" appeared on the show's title. NBC's promos occasionally referred to as "Pink Lady," whereas at other times the voice-over announcer referred to it as "Pink Lady and Jeff." In print advertisements for "TV Guide" however, the show always was titled "Pink Lady and Jeff," though it was cited as "Pink Lady" in the text TV listings.
