The Rifleman: Body count

I never watched this show as a kid, but I caught 5 episodes last week, and in those episodes, Chuck Connors killed 14 people.
Connors himself once estimated he killed about 2.5 people per show, which, over the five years it ran, would amount to a couple hundred dead. The website riflemanconnors.com has a show-by-show count that adds up to 113—but it's possible this site is run by some pussy who wants to downplay the carnage Connors caused as a peaceful, law abiding cattle rancher.
Question: what series running between the 1950s and 1970s, holds the record for most people killed? I haven't found a definitive answer; I'd appreciate it if someone could provide one.

Star Trek, easily. They had whole worlds full of people killed by the planet killer "The Doomsday Machine" and the giant single cell energy consuming life form "The Immunity Syndrome" - that's just 2 episodes. Dozens of crewmembers killed on missions and in battle. "The Ultimate Computer" took over the NCC-1701 and killed hundreds of friendlies in war games gone awry.

Even as a kid I thought it was kind of funny how this peaceful rancher and single father, perhaps North Fork's most solid citizen, dispatched dozens and dozens of dudes to the afterlife.
And WTF was it about little old North Fork that attracted so many assholes that needed killing?

Pussy shite, Jack Bauer has 268 confirmed on screen kills in 7 season of 24.

BTW are we counting Indians? That would affect some show totals

Reminiscing about the homicidal, criminally insane TV heroes of my youth really puts this old NRA'er in the holiday spirit. I'll be spending my Christmas and New Years holidays in front of the TV set, watching Rifleman, Bonanza, Star Trek and Wanted Dead or Alive marathons, with a pencil and notepad in hand to mark the body counts.
