While adding some missing episode composer credits to IMDb, I noticed the scoring for the show and decided to check it out.
Even though the show lasted a full season with twenty-six episodes, only a fraction had credited original scores. There's not much to do, so I'm going to do s much as I can.
If you love funky music with a beat, shakers, guiro, triangle, scores with ideas, you should enjoy this. This would make a good 2CD set.

Unfortunately that is as far as I can go as the video gets messed up and has no sound for the remainder.
This appears to be the only episode Vincent scored.

There were also some TV movies, but they were nothing more than edit jobs of episodes, so no new scoring.
Episodes where I couldn't find a load with the end credits to see if anybody was credited:
"When the Shouting Dies" (EDIT: Dave Grusin; LLLR released it)
(Now there is a load: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYnf0xoF8Tg )

I didn't realize it, but the TV movie "House on Greenapple Road", was actually a pilot film (originally intended as a film but cut down by thirty minutes for TV) for "Dan August", so while I wait for other episodes to load with the end credits to see if I am missing anything, I'll talk briefly about the score to this by Duane Tatro:
The score features a tense and edgy opening theme, some quieter lightly jazzy stuff, some other jazz scoring, ranging from a number of moods.
A suite I ripped from it:
