Legendary consumer reporter for KTRK-TV in Houston for over 30 years. Marvin knew how to get things done. He always fought for the little guy and got results quickly. Thousands were helped because of his efforts. Perhaps best known for his expose of the "Chicken Ranch" illegal brothel in La Grange, Texas in 1974, which inspired the popular Broadway musical and film "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." Besides this, he was best known for keeping tabs on unclean and unsafe resturaunts in Houston with his famous "Rat and Roach Reports" on Fridays, which made the phrase "SLIIIIME in the ice machine!" holy writ in Houston. He was always willing to help out anyone who has been wronged by the system, and he never quit until he got the results they wanted. For that alone, Marvin will be remembered as a Houston legend.
Zindler's funeral took place on Wednesday, August 1, 2007 [19] at Congregation Beth Israel of Houston.[20] ABC-13 staff members and Houston-area religious figures, such as Joel Osteen, Archbishop Joseph Fiorenza, Reverend Bill Lawson (anchor Melanie Lawson's father), and Reverend Kirbyjon Caldwell were among those presenting tributes to Zindler at the funeral. He was interred at Woodlawn Cemetery, Houston, Texas.
