I also thought it was a hoot that Kate Jackson got credit for so much of the Charlies Angels concept.
I haven't seen any of it yet (though I taped it too), but any credit they gave Jackson for the Charlie's Angels concept was probably true. Not only was it widely reported in several CA articles, but when the progress of the CA pilot was first being discussed in Variety, they explained that Jackson came up with the concept. Jackson had an option in her Rookies contract to star in her own series for Spelling/Goldberg. She wasn't really thrilled with the ideas they were coming up for her, and during one of her meetings with Spelling and Goldberg she came up with the idea of three female private eyes who only communicated with their boss through a speaker box. She gave the show the title Harry's Angels, but because there was already a show on the air called Harry-O, they phoned Jackson later to say that they should probably change the name, so she came up with Charlie's Angels. And the rest, as they say, is history...
