The theme was originally composed for the movie M*A*S*H, which was quite a bit more grim than the TV show. Recall the "last supper" for the dentist who was going to kill himself. He swallowed what he thought was a fatal dose of pills, but in reality only took sleeping pills.

I know it wasn't on TV, but the Austin Powers opening montage is pretty catchy.

Only know Miami Vice, Cheers, and Magnum PI.

I thought Miami Vice was by Jan Hammer.
I haven't Googled it, just thought that was the name on the credits.
