There are soooo many. Not just good ones, but also memorable ones, like The Addams Family theme. Many good one's have already been listed.
May I add one: The "WKRP in Cincinnati" theme?
Baby, did you ever wonder?
Wonder whatever became of me
I'm livin' on the air in Cincinnati
Cincinnati, WKRP
(etc.)
Great show, too... remember the turkeys ("oh the humanity...")?

Made me curious Johnny so I did a quick search. Found the following info -
Q. Who wrote the closing theme? Who sings it?
A. The closing theme also has music by Tom Wells. The nonsense lyrics were probably mostly improvised by the singer. According to Steve Marshall at the Museum of Television and Radio's WKRP seminar (March 4, 1994), the singer of the closing theme was named Jimmy Ellis.

Anyone else remember the WKRP episode where Johnny Fever agreed to an on-air alcohol test? He was supposed to prove that alcohol impaired one's response time. Instead, his response time got better the more he drank. Too funny.
Or the time Les Nessman pronounced Chi Chi Rodriguez's name wrong (Chi, as in Pie)?
Man, that was a good show.

I don't think anyone has mentioned Miami Vice yet. That's the only tv show I can think of that I actually bought the soundtrack for (on cassette of course). Jan Hammer (sp?) put together some fine tunes for that show - really pushed the envelope for TV shows at the time IMHO.

Almond of the Toasted variety,
You mentioned the National Geographic theme.
I gotta say that theme is ever embedded in my mind. As a kid (small kine) we used to gather in the school cafeteria to watch movies. Once the 4, 3, 2, 1, clocked down....when the National Geographic theme started to play, we'd all break out in cheers and clapping.
It was better than getting cheeseburgers for lunch! There's still a sense of anticipation when ever I hear that theme
da da da dah dat de da dat boom boom!:
