SEASON 1:
EDIT: November 24, 2020: Al links are bad except the pilot and Trial By Prejudice".
This is all of season one, expect the pilot film, which I covered in the "Police Story" thread (since this is a spin-off show).
If I didn't mention an episode, there was no credited composer.
Morton Stevens provides the theme music. Stevens was nominated for an Emmy for the theme (he lost out to a song!; songs and score themes were in the same category back then).

Highlights:
0:00 in. Like that opening cue from "Poor Devil" crossed with that one episode of "Matt Helm" he did.
8:29 in. Joining a cue already in progress.
14:14 in.
31:31 in.
45:27 in.

Highlights:

26:58 in.
32:00 in.
41:50 in.
43:10 in. And the pool source music that immediately follows it.
46:35 in.
This may be one of the most enjoyable Romanis scores I've heard yet.
If I were compiling a set of season one scoring, those are the only cues I'd take away from this episode score.
"Flowers of Evil"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfwtqdgTYJI (NEW ink as of 12-28-20)

31:52 in.
40:23 in. The bar source music.
*= You might think that's too stupid to happen in real life, but you've obviously not read a lot of stupid criminal news like I have. In fact, I heard about a really good one a few days ago that while not related, it's just to good to not share:
So, over in Japan this person hires a hitman to takes out their spouse. The hit man pays another hitman to do the job, that hitman hires another hitman to do it as well, then another hitman, and finally a fifth hitman tries to farm the job out and it turns out to be an undercover cop. There's a movie in there somewhere!
Two CD's ought to cover the season. Two yummy CD's.

This is Immel's first effort for the series.
Highlights:
8:12 in.
9:28 in. For the guys here: 12:02 in. You're welcome.
22:15 in.
25:30 in. The backing melody kind of reminds me of that theme I just mentioned today in two episodes of "Mrs. Columbo".
26:23 in. The southern-style source music.
28:40 in. More southern-style source music.
31:46 in.
35:25 in.
39:08 in.
42:30 in.
47:20 in.
Some cues share similarities to his work on "Matt Helm".
"Paradise Mall"
By: Jerrold Immel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J_7M4Mfz4Q

1:31 in.
7:09 in.

By: Gerald Fried
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv7rpwP9iCI
Highlights:
33:43 in. Car chase music. Nearly three minutes long.
43:49 in. Nearly five minutes long. Barely any dialogue.
49:15 in.
These are the only cues that need to be released from this episode score.
For the guys here: 11:28 in. You're welcome. You might want to stick around for thirty seconds.
"Cold Wind"
By: Gerald Fried
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTVUavtWubU
Highlights:
0:00 in.

23:10 in.
30:54 in.
33:33 in.
40:22 in.
44:47 in.
48:30 in.
Upon a second listen, I find myself more taken with this episode score than initially.
"Farewell, Mary Jane"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9HWj0xPCZQ
Highlights:
3:13 in.

"Blaze of Glory"
By: Billy Strange
(and some stock music)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJzLubKB_qE
This is the only episode Strange scored.
Highlights:
1:32 in.
3:10 in.
4:40 in. The cue suddenly breaks out into really country-sounding music; weird in the episode, but cool country music. About five minutes long. I understand the choice, it's just that it's kind of out-of-place.
10:27 in. And the cue after the commercial break.
17:44/21:49 in.
23:55 in.
24:39 in. And the music after the commercial break.
27:27 in.
36:21 in.
40:43 in.
41:58 in.
42:18 in.
44:21 in.
"Song "Blaze of Glory" written & performed by:
Verlyn Gordon & Bill Hawkins"
(the song closes the episode)
Looking at Strange's IMDb scoring credits, he had a short career in the scoring world.
Because of how authentic the country/southern-style score is, I think it should have gotten a Emmy nomination.
"Task Force: Cop Killer -- Part 1"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1renPU1IHs (some of the video sounds like the sound is from a TV speaker)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UZtLkbv-HQ
Highlights:
9:55 in.
17:59 in.

32:16 in.
34:01 in.
40:21 in.
43:37 in.
44:43 in.

SEASON 3:
This is all of season three.
If I didn't mention an episode, again, it's because no composer is credited.

That's most of the score.
For the guys here: 37:52 in. You're welcome.
"Trial by Prejudice"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPRp3iyemHk (NEW link as of November 24, 2020)
Highlights:
1:32 in.
6:50 in.
20:25 in. Little FX. Two minutes long.
26:15 in. More of the above.
29:42 in.
33:00 in.
40:23 in.
47:23 in.
"Sarah Who?"
By: Jerrold Immel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TNnYNa2YTI
Highlights:
1:33 in.
6:53 in.
14:55 in.
16:55 in. Interesting choice for fast melodic piano under lining the light car chase music.
28:38/30:20 in.
35:38 in. And the cue after the commercial break.
41:35 in. Goes on for over seven minutes.
"Broken Angels"
By: Jerrold Immel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLQdr5-JM4A
Highlights:
0:00 in.
4:40 in.
5:50 in.
11:37 in.
27:52 in.
40:05 in.
42:11 in.
17:05 in: If you've been following my threads for TV series, you know one of my common complaints is actors who don't know how to mop, like they've never mopped a day in their life.
Extra: "Sir, what's my direction for this mopping scene?"
Director: "I want you to pretend like you don't know hat the fuck you are doing with that weird stick with a thing on the end."
Extra: "Wait, you don't know how to mop?"
Director: "No. Mop? That's what it's called? Action!"
"Brainwash"
By: Richard Shores
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-_XckhXGkA
This is the final effort for the series by Shores.
Highlights:
0:00 in.
1:32 in. Sounds just like a cue from the above Immel score.
23:47 in.
41:23 in.
45:45 in.
"The Death of a Dream"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsGfwfeM4qU

38:34 in.
46:57 in.
"Shadow of a Doubt"
By: Richard Markowitz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCNIBL7sp7s
This is the only effort for the series by Markowitz.
Highlights:
1:32 in.
About 5:55 in.
37:10 in.
43:25 in.
That's nearly all of the score.
"The Killer Cowboys"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_cYEryX57U
Highlights:
3:02 in. Country-flavored source music.
8:15 in. Country-flavored source music.
About 25:08 in.
29:55 in. Country-flavored source music.

40:12/43:22 in. Country-flavored source music.
46:25 in.
48:53 in.
There's probably more source cues than score cues in the episode.
Stevens won an Emmy for a song in the episode (the music for the song, lyrics were by somebody else); not the score. I must have missed the song -- don't recall hearing one.
"Solitaire"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSFtmGxHo48
Highlights:
1:32 in.
3:39 in.
5:40 in.
13:44 in.
21:12 in.
22:55/27:20 in. Reminds me of a cue from "MacGyver" (Ken Harrison); one of the "Jeep Travel" pieces.
31:50 in. And the cue after the commercial break.
35:22 in.
43:41 in.
48:35 in.

MRAUDIO was right -- Stevens did go out with a musical bang.
I'm not saying the full score should be released, but certainly everything I cited should.
