Steve Donovan – Western Marshall: Emulating B-westerns as closely as any half hour TV series could, the once very popular, now nearly forgotten, “Steve Donovan, Western Marshal” starred Douglas Kennedy as Steve and former Allan “Rocky” Lane sidekick Eddy Waller as his saddle partner, Rusty Lee. “Steve Donovan” made Top Ten ratings in several markets. You knew you were in for great western action the moment the series hit your screen. Kennedy stepped out from behind a boulder, drew two six-guns, fired three shots, flipped his ‘45s from one hand to another and fired three more in rapid succession! Then came the stern voiced announcer—“Lashing out of the pages of American history come the exciting tales of the early western frontier. A primitive land torn by primitive conflicts and boiling with the feuds and lawless strife of frontier days. Here, on the rugged edge of civilization, some of the most desperate outlaws the world has ever known swarmed like a black plague, looting and robbing. But here too, determined to bring peace and justice to this turbulent region of six guns and sudden death, was another breed of men. The courageous officers appointed to wear the proudest badge of all, the badge of the western marshal.”
