SEASON 1:
EDIT: December 6, 2019: ALL new links, as the previous channel was copyrighted out of existence.
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).
"The End Game"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjOuJlE_8Z8
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.
That's nearly the entire score.

Highlights:
1:33 in. The source music.
14:11 in.
26:44 in.
29:34 in.
37:25 in.
If I were compiling a set of season one scoring, those are the only cues I'd take away from this episode score.
"Fish"
By: George Romanis
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySieD58bF2c
Highlights:
3:25 in.
7:10 in.
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"
By: Jerry Fielding
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS6_Vk8lRGc
This is the only effort for the series by Fielding.

3:06 in.
10:25 in.
15:47 in. Joining a cue already in progress.
28:12 in.*
32:00 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 all of season two. Again, if I didn't mention an episode, there was no credited composer.

This is Immel's first effort for the series.
Highlights:
About 8:10 in.
9:28 in.
22:37 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.
47:25 in.
Some cues share similarities to his work on "Matt Helm".

Highlights:
33:44 in. Car chase music. Nearly three minutes long.
43:55 in.
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=zHXYsAvxULQ
Highlights:
0:00 in.
1:32 in.

"Blaze of Glory"
By: Billy Strange
(and some stock music)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gkC5iBXnbg
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=eaAkSD-fwkQ (some of the video sounds like the sound is from a TV speaker)
Highlights:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTd3dBkDDaY

34:01 in.
About 40:30 in.
43:37 in.
44:43 in.
49:14 in.

SEASON 3:
This is all of season three.
If I didn't mention an episode, again, it's because no composer is credited.
"The Trick Book -- Part 1" (and Part 2)

32:25 in.

50:09 in.
1:01:58 in.
About 1:20:18 in.
1:30:38 in.
1:33:46 in.

"Trial by Prejudice"
By: Morton Stevens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O8PEXJ3SiE
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=Z-sWGbijvPc
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=_PhQ9vUHsDg
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=YMJRhlPINqw
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=ciOHPjSLlB8

By: Richard Markowitz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LKExGGm3qQ
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=6CVJoYWze5c
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=KOzDFrSsRcs
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.

48:09 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.
