Many good ones I'd forgotten have been mentioned, such as Cheers, Greatest American Hero, Dr. Who, TV Nation, Simon & Simon, A Team, Airwolf, Knight Rider, Magnum.
Speaking of Snuffy Walden, I think his best score was for My So-Called Life.
Then there's also that song 'Hero' (or something like that) from the short-lived show Cover Up.

I really like the theme from The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr. I've noticed that NBC has used it for years in their Olympics programming and maybe in some of their other sports programs.

There was some legal problem with it and it is no longer used when the show is rerun.

You know das, as soon as they had a few stars on towards the end on last year I said I hope it doesn't become a cavalcade of stars but low and behold there it goes. Oh well...

Cheers
Greatest American Hero
Growing Pains
MacGyver
Robotech
Silver Spoons
Tour of Duty ("Paint it Black" by the Rollings Stones...though when I caught the reruns on TNT, they always played the original theme which was not "Paint it Black" and was all instrumental)
The Young and the Restless (I don't watch the show, but the song is nice)

Nobody mentioned the Golden Girls????
I also liked the Brady Bunch and the ORIGINAL Wonder Woman theme.
What's Hapenin was a nice bouncy tune as well.

I would imagine there are ... oh ... a few hundred different variations of it, seeing as the Chairman himself recorded it some 40 years ago.

Dude - I got one for you:
"We're off to Outer Space, we're leaving Mother Earth
To save the Human Race -
Ourrr Starrr Blazerrrs!
Searching for a distant star
heading off to Iscandar
Leaving all we love behind
who know what dangers we'll find!
We must be strong and brave
our home we've got to save
if we dont in just one year,
Mother Earth will disapear!
Through all the fire and the smoke
we will never give up hope.
If we can win, we'll keep peace alive
with our Star Blazers!"
Now THAT was a rocking theme.

Rocket
I'm taking a Rocket
I'm packing my suitcase
Hey look out Moon
Yeah a rocket
Into Outer Space
Goodbye Human Race
I'll be there soon
Blastoff
For fun and adventure
Yes I said adventure
Collecting Stones
Yeah it's my way
Or the 'ole space highway
That's why they all say
"There goes Astronaut Jones!"

And along those same lines I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Wild Wild West (the original series, not that idiotic movie.)

You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun,
Mama always said you’d be
The Chosen One.
She said: You’re one in a million
You’ve got to burn to shine,
But you were born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.
You woke up this morning
All the love has gone,
Your Papa never told you
About right and wrong.
Honorable Mention: X-Files, 90210
