So I wasn't going to reply, but then I saw that my faves weren't on the list. 'Course that could be because they are a little off the wall, except the last ones. In no particular order, tv music/themes that have gotten stuck in my head:
Theme Songs
Witch Hunter Robin - Shell by Bana
Veronica Mars - We Used To Be Friends by The Dandy Warhols
Say what you want about the show, I'll probably even agree with you, but the opening song is just fun.
McLeod's Daughters
It got way too soapy, but I love the music.
Just orchestral would be:
Hogan's Heroes
Magnum
It's not musical, but the eyebrow wag at the end is my favorite.
Stargate SG-1
I think one reason this gets stuck on repeat in my brain's iPod is the absolute GENIUS timing of the clips with the music.
Well, that's my part for clogging up the boards with too many links.

OK. Best show ever on CW. 3rd season suffered a bit, but the show should still be on the air today.

Northern Exposure.
That tune is my default ring for my phone.

Hello,
Crusade's episode music was memorably awful. To this day, I think it was one of the main contributing factors to the failure of the series. It was so grating that it was hard to wait through the bad starter eps hoping for better episodes later on. I learned later that the Bab 5 creator jettisoned the Bab 5 music guy when he did Crusade. Error.
As a child, the Gummi Bears theme song got stuck in my head. Don't get an aneurism laughing.
Besides the main theme, the Klingon music from TMP was practically the best thing in the movie. But that's a film, so I'm cheating there.

The Evolution of Music in Video Games at WonderCon 2021

I dont think tv scores are what the used to be
Firefly is still up there with some of the best music
The best stuff these days might be done by audio producers in video games and music makers might go to t he video game industry or other foreign films to make their money, the big soundtrack scores aint what they used to be.
Unforgettable ..... Unforgettable in every way. And forever more, that's how you'll stay. That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable tooo0000ooo....I would say the crazy unique stuff Game of Thrones, Sponge Bob Squarepants, Original Mission Impossible, Batman The Animated Series the main influence is Danny Elfman-ish but I think later toons might have used influences from pop rock songs or guys like Hans Zimmer in the Batman superhero toons. From that other studio comicbook company the Spider-Man toons were catchy. There is a lot of tv with unforgettable striking impressive music because that's their musical design.
Kids Saturday morning toons without doubt took some of the simplicity from tv and hollywood film scores and made them even more simple and catchy for 'GIJOE' the W.I.T.C.H. Intro totally spies, Totally Spies, Ben 10 hanna barber toy company type stuff almost like childrens songs repeating their theme again and again but a little more evolved with musical creativity. Sometimes when you hear these kids toons you feel like you've heard it before i guess they are designed in that familiar kinda way, the kids of course crying demanding the latest toys for birthday and Christmas presents. The 90s seems to have good stuff like Fresh Prince Of Bel Air Theme Song was a catchy hiphop rap pop song, Riverdale a more modern show had memorable pop stuff inside its show but its main theme i dunno it was probably crap ...if there was one in Riverdale was totally forgettable.
Friends was memorable all over the radio also, there is the pop stuff like the 90s sitcom series ' Friends' "I'll Be There for You" a song by the Rembrandts, guys who were hired to make a Shiny Happy People style Song.
The tv show Supernatural had a memorable tune but they just re-used an old song Carry on my Wayward Son by Kansas an American rock band that became popular in the 1970s. Oldies like Rawhide are memorable or The Lone Ranger which is a more simple version of the Rossini William Tell Overture. 'Get Smart' had that old parody movie tv feel - a bit of Woodstock, Hollwyood score and American Bandstand mix - The Monkeys was a tv show with their catchy pop song, Hill St Blues is classic tv, Clone High cartoon, The Simpsons animated cartoon series, Wonder Years. The 70s and 80s had their own style like 'Different Strokes Theme Song' things got darker in the 1990s with Twin Peaks theme. The toons still had cool stuff like Avatar airbender animation, I liked the classic The Six Million Dollar Man Theme, the Flintstones toon, The X Files the Millennium spin off Tv Title composed by Mark Snow, a thing of musical beauty but not as memorable as Xfiles spooky theme.
After 911 I feel tv's mood shifted it became very political or spy triller or more grim and less kid friendly more flesh and smut was on the sreen through guys like HBO, Netflix would come later you still had classic scifi feel of stuff with 'The 4400' this tv theme felt more pop and funky, the Stargate franchise and StarTreks both stayed on tv both Trek and SG-1 survived in the new melinium post 911 Afghan Iraq war age. A post-apocalyptic Walking Dead the zombie show is memorable for its strings rhythmical drive and uneasy darkness and creepy vibes, Archer might be there its a toon with a cool james bond austin powers japan anime style Intro in its Seasons ... I keep feeling there is something else out there that's cool like T

The UFO title theme is one of my all-time faves. But why hasn't anyone mentioned Thunderbirds?! Now there was a rousing theme if ever there was one!
Does anyone remember The Martian Chronicles miniseries...or are you all trying to forget it? Some of the worst FX ever seen, but the theme music...oh, that is just beautiful, so haunting with its flutes and chimes.

Denver the Last Dinosaur
It's been probably 30 years since I heard it but that theme song is an ear worm that Alzheimers isn't even going to remove.
First time I've heard it since I was a kid and it's exactly how my head remembered it.
And I couldn't tell you the plot line of a single episode or any character's names other than Denver.
