  1. Schneider also created “The Circus of P.T. Bimbo” (retitled “Bimbo’s Circus” after complaints from the estate of P.T. Barnum) from mid to late 1970s.

  2. I must ask the inevitable…
    Will “The Sunshine Club” be continued after Schneider’s death?

    Regardless of the answer, the family has my condolences.
