While I like them with the music for Perry Mason, Mission Impossible and Get Smart, they don't stand up as music by themselves.

Of course, I need to mention these favorites

Rockford Files
Hill St Blues
Hawaii 5 0
The ending theme for Dr. Who
PBS did a mini series for Anna Karenina that used a section of Tchaikovski's Manfred overture. That was cool
The Guild.
The Munsters
the Adams Family
The ending theme for Dr. Who

Which one???

You're right, but unless you're talking the late 70's early 80's (Baker/Davison era) electronic version... it's spotty. The new series has better in episode music though like "Rose's Theme" and "The Master's Theme" (rat-tat-tat-TAT) than the orchestration of the original theme.
