Doctor Who ('63 -'85/'96-2013)
Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) (original series)
Thunderbirds
Stingray
UFO
The Avengers (Laurie Johnson)
The Munsters
The Prisoner
The High Chaparral
The Persuaders
But ten is way too small. And I think maybe both the Irwin Allen and the Gerry Anderson shows should almost be lumped into one each.

Just my favorites of the top of my head...
Since so many themes flew around in my head right away, I sorted it a bit and I exclude here TV themes that are actually movie themes (like THE COWBOYS or STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION), and themes for TV miniseries, like SHOGUN, QB VII or MASADA, and just focus on regular multi-season one hour drama shows. So no miniseries, no animation, no sitcoms, no game shows etc., simply to narrow it down already a bit. (I love Cheers, Flintstones, etc.... maybe I do another one for those. :-)
STARSKY & HUTCH (Lalo Schifrin)
STAR TREK - VOYAGER (Jerry Goldsmith)
THE WALTONS (Jerry Goldsmith)
THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO (Patrick Williams)
THE PERSUADERS (John Barry)
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (Stu Phillips)
THE ROCKFORD FILES (Mike Post & Pete Carpenter)
KNIGHT RIDER (Stu Phillips)
THE MAGICIAN (Patrick Williams)
PETROCELLI (Lalo Schifrin)

I;m confused, jacky. In the title you says "themes", then in your post say best music for a series. Are we talking theme music or episodic scoring?
