There have been others that attempted what Marvin did, but with the laws changing to support greedy business owners, they get sued. Sometimes they are even threatened with bodily harm.
H-town Legend!!! Marvin Zindler, Eyyyyyyyyyyyewitness news!! He was my favorite part of watching the news back in the day. Even as a kid, I enjoyed watching.
Me too! I always remember his distinctive sign off. 😊 My best friend (3rd grade), her father, Mr. Harrison, was the weatherman for the channel. He took us to the studio because he needed to prepare for the next broadcast. I got to sit in Martin's chair. LOL I haven't thought about that in years!
Marvin Zindler, what a legend. I was only a small child in Houston around this time and I remember him because he looked so different than anyone else and had a weird name. What a trip down distant memory lane! Thanks :-).
NGL as a kid we were going to be in front of the TV on Friday nights waiting for Marvin Zindler to scream Slime in the ice machine! Just looked up Dave Ward and it was awesome to find out that he's still going strong at 96.
A classic Marvin Zindler 'rat and roach' report from 1982 1030am 12.10.24 wow.... those primates should be revoked, i agree.... i never eat out. i used to think it's cos i can't afford it, can't be bothered eating alone or just cos the staff might well be dubious fellows with filthy grimy manners.....
No one could ever be like Marvin. I remember Friday nights listening to that Slime in the Ice Machine jingle. And NO ONE will ever be able to call out “EYEWITNESS NEWS!” like him.
We moved to Fort Bend County at the end of 1982. We like Marvin Zindler and Mattress Mac. And the Astros. We miss the Oilers but do root for the Texans.
Brings back so many memories. I grew up with Marvin on the evening news back when we only had like 10 or 12 channels. A really weird guy, but a Houston legend nonetheless
I don't know where you live, but it's the exact opposite here. The local news totally puts their inspection score and all the details out there for everyone to see.
When I was a little kid I was scared of Marvin Zindler. He was always yelling and he hardly ever smiled on camera. Of course like everyone else I grew to love the man. Honestly, I was very fond of everyone from channel 13 in those days. Dave Ward, Shera Fryer, Ed Brandon, Bob Allen and of course, Marvin Zindler
I grew up in this Era. Man how the world has gone down hill. Bring back Marvin and have him call out the woke Americans. Slime in the school districts.
I member when I was younger ,& lived in South Houston. Was born @ Gulfway Hospital but any hoocheroo...I member Marvin Zindler saying It's 10 o'clock do you know where your children are? 1 night he said it's 10 o'clock do you know where your parents are. I was trying 2 locate that 2 share memories with my sister. We lived in South Houston @ the time.
I wonder if ABC 13 still does the segment, because two of my relatives recently went to a Mexican restaurant in Bacliff. The food was good, they said, but they found some roaches in the dining area.
RIP Zindler. But you'll never be forgiven for your part in the closure of the Chicken Ranch. No roaches, not complaints; just good times. Until a big rat had to come along and ruin it.
We need another Reporter like Marvin Zindler. But no one will ever replace him. 🙏🏾❤️

Zindler had swagger and confidence.
There's Rob Wolchek but he in Detroit :(
H-town Legend!!! Marvin Zindler, Eyyyyyyyyyyyewitness news!! He was my favorite part of watching the news back in the day. Even as a kid, I enjoyed watching.
We all did!!
Man I missed hearing these reports. A legend! grew up listening to Marvin Zindler's reports.

I'm here in 2022 after one of my patients found out I was from Houston and started talking about Marvin. Slim in The Ice Machine
This was what made Houston unique..we don;t have anything like Marvin anymore.
I miss him! My grandpa met him years ago.. Wow time sure does fly!
There’ll never be another like him..
Times fun when you're having flys

"Poor old Charlie." That part always gets me 😂
These bring back so many childhood memories
Happy 100th to the late Marvin Zindler.
I lived in Houston from 1965 till 1970, when I left for the Army at 20 for 20. I still remember his 'loud' sign-off! "phil5301' NAILED IT!
No one could ever be like Marvin. I remember Friday nights listening to that Slime in the Ice Machine jingle. And NO ONE will ever be able to call out “EYEWITNESS NEWS!” like him.
wow! Haven't thought about this guy for decades! He was very popular in the late 70's and early 80's.
We used to watch it just to hear him yell 'MARVIN ZINDLER, EYE WITNESS NEWS'.
RIP to this Houston legend !
Thank you Marvin
Back when journalism was entertaining. Rip, Marvin.
We moved to Fort Bend County at the end of 1982. We like Marvin Zindler and Mattress Mac. And the Astros. We miss the Oilers but do root for the Texans.

GOOD GOLF, GOOD TENNIS, OR WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY! MARVIN ZINDLER…EYEEEEWITNES NEWS!

I bet restaurants now are glad that he's not here cuz they'd probably be closed down as well
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I miss you marvin.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 slime in the ice machine
Melvin Thorpe has done it again.
Slime in the ice machine!
I'd guess since there were no other movies on most of the businesses he reported on, that the Chicken Ranch was his biggest story.
Wonder what Marvin’s home kitchen looked like
I remember watching this when I was younger.
Every crooked restaurant owners worst nightmare.
Marvin Zindler, EYEWitness News
Legend 👌🏿
I miss Marvin so much.
These days people would flip out to protect the identity of dirty restaurants, how backwards our world has become.

My right ear loved this video
“Poor old Charlie.”
They really used prime time news slot to tell you restaurants have bugs and rodents?
Yes! It was the most entertaining part of watching the news!!
Most definitely a Houston Legend. You mention Houston you mention Mr Zindler 💪🏽💪🏽. Rest easy sir
I grew up in this Era. Man how the world has gone down hill. Bring back Marvin and have him call out the woke Americans. Slime in the school districts.
Slime in the local and federal government
Good God, not SLIME IN THE ICE MACHINE?!!!
Legendary!!
