I can think of two standouts:

Jerry Paris (Happy Days) - directed 192 consecutive episodes across 8 seasons
Richard L. Bare (Green Acres) - directed 166 consecutive episodes across 6 seasons

The keyword is consecutive, i.e. uninterrupted. Are there any more that you can think of with 100+ episodes or higher than the ones already mentioned?

I believe James Burrows holds this record for directing every single episode of "Will & Grace", which produced 194 episodes.

David Trainer directed 199 of That ‘70s Show 200 episodes, missing only the pilot. So 199 in a row.

Jack Webb on Dragnet (radio and TV)

IMDB credits Ozzie Nelson as director of 424 out of 436 Ozzie and Harriet episodes. They only list ten other directing credits, the earliest in Season 11.
