SEASON 1:
Another series I have not seen before, but I trust Mike Post & Pete Carpenter, who scored all the episodes of this Stephen J. Cannell series.
It only lasted one season. I have covered all the episodes.
It's like a combo of the sound of "the Rockford Files", combined with the beat and some feel of some of the scoring from "Magnum, pi", with it's own sound. If you enjoy the scoring of those shows, this should be right up your alley. Including a catchy theme.

Okay, we have a new winner for Longest Episode Title. Just look at it on screen (in the first music highlight) -- it nearly fills the whole damn thing.
Highlights:

30:16 in.
41:34 in.

"This One's Gonna Kill Ya"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7Nez7R75Ns
Highlights:
15:52/10:58 in. This isn't a mistake; because of the same timpani and detache strings material, both these cues should go together and the one that occurs later in hte episode has an ending that would allow it to work combined with the other.

36:49 in. And after the commercial break.
42:21 in.

Highlights:
25:26 in.
28:10 in.
29:58/33:33/34:41/36:17/44:17/48:35 in. With some creative editing, all these could be put together for a fun suite. I'd cut the ending off of 44:17 and put in place the outro cue, for an acceptable ending to the suite.

Guest-starring John Hillerman (Our man Higgins from "Magnum, pi").
The series spawned a spinoff series, the curiously-named "J.J. Starbuck" (which lasted two episodes longer!). It was short lived, too. Velton Ray Bunch and Mike Post are the only composers I can confirm worked on the show; others listed on BMI and ASCAP: Jeff Gerson, John Debney (with Post and separately), Michael Babcock (I'd guess related to Bruce Babcock), Jerome Grant, Pete Carpenter (co-composer on the theme; probably scored the pilot), Frank Denson, Stephen Geyer, and Walter Murphy.
And the bumpers, of which I heard three different ones. And two CD's should be enough to cover it.
