Some shows naturally have [[Body of the Week|a bodycount in virtually every episode]] (if only the [[Monster of the Week]]). Sometimes, however, no-one dies at all.
Line 81:
== Live Action TV ==
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'', the [[Trope Namer]], has a number of examples. For example, "[[Doctor Who
** While there is a body count in Moffat's "[[Doctor Who
{{quote|Now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and the Doctor comes to call... everybody lives.}}
** Moffat has ascended to achieving a whole new level of Everybody Lives in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S31
** ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S5
** ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S1
** The ''Doctor Who Book of Lists'' has, well, a list of these serials and episodes. In addition to the above, it also mentions ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S3
*** Perhaps paradoxically (given the name), [[Doctor Who/Recap/S20
** An interesting case occured with "The Curse of the Black Spot", in which the Doctor, Amy, and Rory land on a pirate ship stuck in the ocean with a crew that's being picked off one by one by a siren, who marks crew members with "the black spot" on their hand. {{spoiler|It turns out that the seemingly evil siren was actually a computer-created doctor from a crashed spaceship which had been taking men who were hurt, even though they did not have serious injuries. All the crew are in fact perfectly fine, and she was just trying to help.}}
** Subverted in "[[Doctor Who
** Add "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S32
** The 2011 Chrismtas special, "The Doctor, The Widow, and the Wardrobe" also pulled one of these.
*** Also with bonus points for {{spoiler|the father and at least two crew of his bomber that turned out to be not so much "lost and presumed dead," as "took a detour through the Vortex."}}
Line 102:
** There was also the episode with the [[All Just a Dream]] ending, so after Jess returns to reality we see the "murder victim" alive and well.
* Be very wary when ''[[Law & Order|Law and Order]]'' does this - if the [[Victim of the Week]] is still standing at the start of the trial segment, as a rule, the assailant will plead out and ''he'll'' be the one on trial for whatever made people try to kill him.
** Although the Season 16 episode "[[Law and Order (Franchise)/Recap/S16
** Another rare straight example is the [[Series Finale]]. The detectives come across a website of someone boasting they're going to shoot up and blow up a school while showing off enough ammo and explosives to make their threat credible. The scramble is to try to find the perp before he can carry out his boast. In the end, a school shooting does occur, but the shooter is overpowered before he can kill anybody. Also, at her retirement party, Van Buren learns that her cancer tests have come back negative, and happily introduces everybody to her fiancee.
* ''[[Kamen Rider|Kamen Rider Ryuki]]'', whose main premise was [[There Can Be Only One]], ends with {{spoiler|Len/Knight}} as the last remaining Rider after everyone else has been killed off. However, the master of the Rider War isn't too happy with this outcome (since {{spoiler|his proxy Odin wasn't the winner}}) and attempts to [[Reset Button Ending|start things over by rewinding time]]. However, Yui finally convinces him that no matter how many times the Rider War is run, {{spoiler|[[You Can't Fight Fate|she will never accept a new life from him]] if it's at the cost of thirteen others}}. So this time when he rewinds everything, he stays in the [[Phantom Zone|Mirror World]] with Yui and never starts the Rider War in the first place. Thus, [[Everybody Lives]]. Bravo, Yasuko Kobayashi.
