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.

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.
