Energized Gonzo

[Saironi]

I was watching the 3rd disk of TMS Season 1 yesterday and noticed Gonzo became a bit more energetic in "Ben Vereen" and also in the episodes following "Vincent Pryce", not counting "Twiggy". I think the praise he'd long desired from the audience gave him confidence in himself as an actor, which is kind of funny, as he seemed to gain acceptance before Fozzie, and may have even been encouraged by Scooter's exclamation of "That's the greatest show we've ever done!" Also, it seemed Gonzo and Scooter were on friendly terms with each other, since he bragged to Scooter about how the audience loved him, and in the second episode of season one, Scooter addressed him as "Gonz" and seemed to agree with Gonzo that his teddy was still perfectly good. Something tells me Scooter's praise and support in several episodes meant a lot to Gonzo.

What do the rest of you think?

What do I think?

... aww, Gonzo has a friend!

But, seriously... I actually don't know what else to say. Sorry.

Hmm.. interesting thoughts, I also kind of see where your heading, but at the same time you gotta kinda realize that it was the first season, and they really didn't know Gonzo the character itself. So they kind had to play around with his personality. But again, you might be right aswell.
