There are a
lot
of 'em–not just good ones but, as the title indicates, iconic ones. Seems like a good idea for a thread.
Gotta start with Lalo Schifrin's MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE theme, which was written to be used during a chase sequence in the M:I series pilot but Bruce Geller loved it so much, it became the show's main theme (and has remained, in various versions, through every iteration of M:I over the decades):

Another great show, and Robert Culp indeed was a fine actor. Loved the theme song too❗

Yeah! lol. The live-action version of THE TICK from probably 20 years ago had a scene with Dave Foley running around a desk with a cap playing that song. I great up watching THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO but for whatever reason, that goofy-ass moment stuck in my head.

John Sebastian's theme for WELCOME BACK, KOTTER actually became a #1 single:

I'm one of those strange people who has never seen The X Files, and while I agree that the Welcome Back Kotter theme is iconic, I was never a big fan of the show.
That little Horshack guy was kinda cute!

A classic! Morton Stevens created this one in 1968, and CBS used it–various versions of it–for 12 years.
