Most episodes per season of scripted series
Which scripted series has had the most single episodes produced for one season? Not counting soap operas or talk shows.
I don't know if Gargoyles or Batman TAS actually count since they're animated. Gargoyles in it's 2nd season there were 52 single episodes. Batman TAS had 60 episodes in it's first season. Where there others?

The original 90210 and Melrose Place used to produce 32-35 episode seasons at one point.
That would be unheard of in this day and age.

This may count as a soap, but "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" had 130 episodes the first season and 195 episodes the second season.
In recent years, HBO's "In Treatment" had 43 episodes in its first season.

Gunsmoke had 39 episodes for the first 5 seasons. After that, the number of episodes slowly drifted downward:
