Baby Gonzo's one of the better characters on the show, if not the best. It seems the writers had way too much fun with him, and while the other characters were funny and had some great scenes, Gonzo's demented child self had some of the most avant garde moments of the show. The episode where everyone's so weird that his own brand of weirdness seems plain by comparison is a very deep episode for what it needs to be.

Seems that, while not entirely different from his Muppet counterpart, he was designed to have a lot of childishness in him... moral problems (Great Cookie Robbery for example) and he has a weird relationship with Animal that never ever got explored again. Has there ever been a scene in a movie or TV show where they were even next to each other in the same scene, let alone having a moment by themselves?
