Marvin Zindler's Eeeeeeyewitness Head

Recommended Posts

One of my friends was on Marvin's segment when we were in elementary school, and I knew he was old then, but not that old!

That man needs to retire. I am surprised he hasn't yet, though if he did I bet it would be big news.

You too, sev? A girl I work with in Lexington lived here in Houston for awhile too. We joked about his spots constantly... I always was creeped out by the "Cockroach Report" - what was the exact name again? On most trips to the ice maker, you can hear one of us saying, "There's SLIIIIIIME in the ice machine!"

Thinking on this now, I realize it's probably not a Good Idea to do in front of anyone not from Houston.

Marvin's been in the public eye for a l-o-n-g time. Ever see pictures of him from the early 50's? Big nose, no chin, no cheekbones...

To his credit, he was always very upfront about his surgeries; he even did news segments on them. And you gotta admire how he sticks up for ordinary people whose problems are otherwise met with indifference.

Anybody have the file? I wanna send it to a friend....

The chron had several early pictures of Marvin (some from the fifties) with the feature they did on him last sunday in the Zest magazine section. I couldn't find the pics online though.

Here is a cool story behind the whole chicken Ranch episode. They should make a real movie abou this. The Musical was horrible. Of course I was 10 or so when I saw it. I do remember some nudity, so that was cool.

Thanks, but it was a video file of him puttering across the frame while Ed Brandon was doing the weather.
