re: The Rifleman: Body count

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.

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.
