Star Trek is a good answer, but I think what we're talking about here is "body count" as in bodies you see mortally wounded and rolling over dead. Not "statistical" dead.

Even then, Star Trek is pretty good at killing people. But it's hard to beat the Rifleman. It's a running joke in our house how ridiculously violent that show is. I mean, the hero personally killed more than a hundred men on the show. You see him do it. All justified. Does not give a frick. Not one bit sorry. And his kid witnesses most of it.

I don't know about shows, but I remember watching Cobra (Sylvester Stallone flick) when I was younger, and my cousins and I tried to keep up with counting bodies in that one. IIRC there were like 40-something. It was crazy.

Yes, I tried to confine my inquiry to shows that ran in an era of "one shot, one death"—like Westerns for example. I assume naturally that as time went on, the body counts on shows–such as space adventure shows, where hundreds or thousands of anonymous space creatures could be easily vaporized–would grow beyond computation.
