I'm a big fan of the music from the old Batman TV show. Not the theme song, but the swing/big band sounding stuff they would play during the fight scenes. I want to look into some other stuff like that, but I don't know what that style of music is called. Anybody here have any ideas?

Nelson Riddle.

Also try the '68ish smothers brothers show. He owned the music for the 1960s. Almost every show.

What it's called is incidental music. Its genre is showbiz vernacular. A warning: once you start delving into the soundtrack world of the 60s and early, you may never get out.
