DVD Talk Limited Edition
The Sopranos
The Wire (love how they used a variation of the same song each season. S4 was my favorite rendition).
Deadwood
The Office UK
Scrubs
Extras (I love the use of Tea for Tillerman in the closing credts)
Gilmore Girls (my wife and kids love it...personally, not so much).
Contrastly, I can't stand the theme for Rome.

Also, add Hawaii Five-O to that list.
I also quite like several Anime theme songs(Cowboy Bebop and many others).

I LOVE L.A. Law, even though I never watched the show.

The visuals have a lot to do with the success of the theme. In the case of Jack & Bobby the visual cues of signing a presidential document to a young Bobby signing his homework, really worked with the instrumental music.

I'll be catching up with S3 on DVD eventually -- did they change the song for S3, so do they still use it but it didn't seem "a perfect match" anymore?

Somewhere there’s music playing.
Don’t you worry none
We’ll just take it like it comes.
