Burlesque-style dancing troupe the Pussycat Dolls -- who hit a high note in the music world last year with their top five debut album "PCD" -- are looking to make their mark in television as well.

Sources said that Telepictures Prods. and producer-director McG are shopping an unscripted series around town that features the Pussycat Dolls, with the CW said to be in talks to sign a development deal with the group that would involve the reality project. Telepictures and the CW declined comment Thursday.

The Dolls -- which has featured such celebrity performers as Carmen Electra, Christina Aguilera and Christina Applegate -- have appeared and performed on several TV series, including NBC's "Las Vegas" and ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," as well as in the McG-directed feature film "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle." The group also is featured at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, which opened the Pussycat Dolls Lounge last year, and will be opening for the Black Eyed Peas on the group's upcoming tour.

"PCD," released by A&M Records in September, has spawned three hit singles and is certified platinum. McG is executive producer of Fox's "The O.C." and WB Network's "Supernatural." Along with its sequel, he also directed the feature film "Charlie's Angels."
