Every now and again, they manage to write a particularly catchy song to run with the credits of a TV show. Some of my favorites, in no particular order, are:
The Rockford Files
The Equalizer
Barnaby Jones
Midnight Caller
Mission Impossible
The Persuaders (British)
Van der Valk (British)
Inspector Morse (British)
The Incredible Hulk (end credits music)
Law & Order
Anybody else got any favorites?

(note: it took Nit and I both grabbing our hands yelling 'oh crap oh crap, I know this one' to remember the name of the show)

So many of my favorites have already been posted:
B5-S5
Haibane Renmei
Planetes(only if the opening sequence is included, the song itself isn't that wonderful but the opening scenes set the feeling of the show, it's similar to the theme/opening to Enterprise)
