Spy Girls - a backdoor pilot?

Did anyone feel like this episode was partly a backdoor pilot for a new series, maybe they were "testing the waters" so to speack. I mean, they even had a theme song for the Spy Girls.

Actually, I wonder how much influence this had on the She Spies TV series. It was made several years later, and I haven't checked to see if it might be from the same writers/producers or anything, but maybe someone got the idea from TKR. Of course, there was stuff like Charlie's Angels long before the TKR episode.
