I tend to remember theme music more than title shots (although bad
title shots, such as the countdown during the third season of "Lost In
Space", will live with me forever).  Here are a few that I remember
either as being reasonably good or as getting some radio airplay
(I used to listen to the radio so much that anything played often
enough began to sound good...):
	Hawaii Five-O (who composed this? The Ventures played it on radio)
	Mission: Impossible (Lalo Schifrin, I think)
	Hawkins (who wrote it?)
	Love American Style (the theme they had 1st season)(Cowsills) 
	Laverne and Shirley (I think they stretched out the Happy Days
			theme and played it on the radio, too)
	MASH (also, try to see an older print of the movie, where
	      the lyrics are sung over the opening credits)
	The Rockford Files (Post/Carpenter)
	The Greatest American Hero (Post/Geyer)
	Hardcastle&McCormick (Post/Geyer) (the one used in fall 84)

Other Post or Post/Carpenter tunes that are sort of catchy are the
themes from Hill Street Blues and Riptide.
