Talk:Marvin Zindler

message: A non-copyvio sound clip of MZ signoff would be a great addition to this article.  Im sure permission from KTRK would be required.  If someone from there is monitoring this page then please consider putting one up.  His signature signoff is an iconic part of Houston.  (ditto the slime in the ICE machine!)  thanks, István 01:32, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Unfortunately it looks as if most of MZ's Wikipedia entry was cut-and-pasted from his KTRK page.

thread_title: Copied from his KTRK page

message: The entry says:
"In 1941, at the beginning of World War II, Marvin joined the Marines and later received an honorable discharge.
Marvin began his broadcasting career in 1943 as a part-time radio disc jockey while working for his family's clothing store which his father founded."
Is there a typo on one of the 1940's dates?  Or did Marvin work in his family's store while he was a Marine during World War II?  Or did he get an honorable discharge in the middle of World War II, after being in the military for only 2 years? Dbaldock 15:01, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: he was discharged because he had two flat feet.  As far as the "Beginning" of WWII, it should more accurately state, "At the beginning of America's involvement in WWII is more appropriate."--Hourick 01:08, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I think there is enough cited information about his brief attempt at politics to merit some rearrangement.  Since quite a bit of his information was initially broadcast, how can we cite a television broadcast?--Hourick 11:13, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

message: RIP Zindler, but there is nothing about him being Jewish on wikipedia. Not that I see. someone write something down please.

message: I think a brief summery of the amount of people went to the viewing and any dignitaries attending the memorial or funeral would be worth mentioning if anyone has this information. --Hourick 02:49, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Funeral/memorial Service 

message: In the article, there is a screencap of Marvin Zindler, doing a "commentary" on a 2005 "Eyewitness News" telecast. In this pic, it included a ticker about not using candles and avoiding opening the fridge. It also gave a time of "7:41", which would've been in the midst of ABC programming at the time. Was that pic during KTRK's Hurricane Rita coverage? If so, does anyone know what choice words Marvin had to say about it? -- azumanga 00:32, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Lived in Sharpstown early 70's and we loved seeing hearing him sign off.  Sharpstown was a great place then.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:AE80:8B89:6138:581:8E05:86E1 (talk) 12:08, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brings back memories of a much happier time. 

message: This section is written in such a way as to imply shock at the idea that a man whose father welcomed the patronage of African-Americans and despised the KKK would have considered himself to be a Republican.  This demonstrates an ignorance of the Southern culture of that era, where a man of such principles would have had very little choice OTHER than to be a Republican.  2600:1004:B142:AFCB:0:9:482B:9A01 (talk) 21:47, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
