I think it's kind of weird that their friendship started with the fourth muppet movie, even though both were in featured in Muppets Take Manhatten and also on The Muppet Show.

But sometimes ideas come up later for characters.

I love their friendship. It seems so genuine. They really play well off each other. Them singing It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year on the new Muppet Christmas cd has become on of my favorite Muppet song performances ever it always brings a smile to my face. It has been quite interesting to watch their friendship develop over the years and I hope to see it grow more in coming years.

In the Senor Wences episode of the Muppet Show, Rizzo pops up infront of Gonzo, and Gonzo pulls the rat to his body. This was because Rizzo was accidently on Stage.

Now that's funny, I'll have to watch the episode. LOL At Rizzo being on at the wrong time. Anyways I think there friendship started at Muppets Take Manhatten if you notice Rizzo is helping Gonzo during one scene when he's practicing his dance moves.

While Rizzo is one of my top favorite Muppets and I DO love his friendship he's got going with Gonzo, I do miss Gonzo's relationship with Camilla. I wonder what went wrong? Oh well! Rizzo's considered one of the main Muppets now! Yay!

I don't think anything "went wrong" with Gonzo and Camilla's relationship, they've just been doing a lot of adaptations lately and maybe there just hasn't really been much of a role for Camilla right now. Their relationship was featured in the Muppets Wizard of Oz though! So I believe they are still going strong.

As for Rizzo and Gonzo. I think it could have just happened that when Gonzo was assigned the narrator in MCC, they needed to give him a sidekick for comedic purposes. Gonzo often needs someone to play off of to really enhance his personality. And Rizzo seemed like the perfect fit. Their chemistry worked so well they continued it to MTI as well. I also believe it has a lot to do with how well Dave Goelz and Steve Whitmire work off each other. They've had great chemistry since early on with Fraggle Rock also.

Rizzo's first friendship will have to belong to good old Beau. But, in the later season and the JHH, Rizzo and Gonzo devoloped.
