Family Guy had a really fun theme song.

And Newhart (the 80s one) had a really nice orchestral piece by Henry Mancini that I love.

Streets of San Francisco
Baretta
Sandford and Son
Barney Miller
What's Happening
The Bill Cosby Show (not the Cosby show but Bill's first sitcom where he played PE teacher Chet Kincade. Most people under 40 don't remember this show. Original run was in the late 60's but BET ran it one summer around 82 or 83. Great show with a funky ass theme song. Above the Law sampled this on the cut "Livin Like Hustlers")
