No, one does not exist. There is a fake CD but none is original score or by the show's composers.

There is a promo CD with Ken Harrison`s great egyptian score to the "Eye of Osiris" episode of MacGyver.

A question to those who know these things: what is holding up a soundtrack release?
Other then the fact that the series stopped about 15 years ago?
Geez I really can't think of anything.

Yeah, Harrison's music seems more "polished" somehow. Not as run-of-the-mill as some of McCarthy's music occasionally is.
A question to those who know these things: what is holding up a soundtrack release?
the show is owned by PARAMOUNT....
Nuff Said....
Also another Composer on the series was none other then WILLIAM ROSS, who came in to the show after Dennis left the series.

Sadly, no. It's a shame, this was a good series with some fine work by really excellent composers. It's funny how an unassuming action show like this is such a pop culture legend. It's nice to hear it's still popular outside the states.

Oh, as I said above, it's VERY popular in Norway. Everybody knows it, and it's part of my generation's TV upbringing.
I watch the reruns mostly for nostalgia now and can see "through" the silliness of it all, but back in the early 90's, I used to watch it when I got home from school, and it actually engaged me.
I also remember seeing a couple of the feature-length TV movies, one of them being about some Egyptian excavation or something, excellent music by frequent episode composer Ken Harrison.
I can't BELIEVE there's no soundtrack for this! It's gotta be the most catchy TV theme of all time! 
My generation as well. It was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid, and like you, I can get past the silliness and still enjoy it. I even still have my Swiss Army knife that I got during the height of MACGYVER popularity. 
There were only two TV movies. The first was about MacGyver searching for Atlantis, and the second was a James Bond-esque plot involving international intrigue and ex-KGB agents. I enjoyed both, but prefered the second one a little more.
I don't recall much of the score since I haven't seen the show in awhile, but it definitely has one of my all-time favorite themes. I miss the days when TV shows had memorable themes.
