Once again, does any show have completely original music for every episode? No! They use tracked music because it would be impossible to come up with scores in such a limited amount of time for such a large amount of material!

I'm not saying that TV scores can't be orchestrated. I'm just saying that, in TV shows, it is not generally feasable for every single episode to have its own unique score. Usually, they use the first several episodes to compose character and emotional themes and then reuse them throughout the rest of the series, occasionally composing a new bit when the need arises, which will then also be put into rotation from then on.
