Yes, I tried to confine my inquiry to shows that ran in an era of "one shot, one death"—like Westerns for example.


Well, even Star Trek had between 55 and 65 crewmember deaths, just on the Enterprise, through 77 episodes - which isn't bad.

However, it is not Rifleman numbers, where multiple deaths happened every week. Bonanza was pretty lethal to the bad guys, too - Little Joe must have killed dozens by himself.

If you count the wives, fiancees, girlfriends, and possibles that showed up at the Ponderosa over the years and died of fatal diseases or being an innocent bystander in a gunfight, the count increases astronomically. As my female cousin once said, "Them Cartwrights are sure hell on women!"
