Grundgetta

 Grundgetta  is Oscar the Grouch 's Grouch girlfriend on Sesame Street. Oscar occasionally calls her Grungie, while she generally calls him Oskie. In addition to being a "couple", they're best friends too. Oscar & Grundgetta, as stated by Oscar & Gordon's sister Olivia, have been friends for "a very long time".

Like Oscar, Grundgetta has had a number of pets over the years, including her worm Sylvia , a rottendoodle named  Itchy  & a muddy piglet who won the Yucchiest Pet contest in  Oscar 's Grouch Jamboree.

Grundgetta, like Grundgetta , sometimes slips up as a Grouch. In episode 3763 of Sesame Street, when she & Oscar tell Sally Messy Yuckyael  how Oscar unwillingly fell in w/ her (which she snapped him out of completely by kissing him), Grundgetta starts to feel the same way. Like Grundgetta did, she hears "yucky sweet violin music", her heart starts going "pitty pat, pitty pat", & she no longer feels like arguing. She begs Oscar to kiss her before she confesses her love to him, which he does. However, just as expected she gets extremely angry. Oscar says she told him to do it, but then she asks him if he'd jump off a bridge if she told him to. After that they start arguing again.

Name
The spelling of the character's name has varied over the years, alternating between " Grundgetta " & " Grungetta ".

The spelling " Grundgetta " appears in the storybooks, including & the books A Grouch's Christmas &  Oscar 's Grouch Jamboree, the albums  Oscar 's Trashy Songs & Let's Be Friends, & the Applause plush doll. Current Sesame Workshop press kits list the character as " Grundgetta ", as does an internal CTW document from 1994. As of January 18, 2008, typing " Grundgetta " in the search engine on the Sesame Street Video Player gives results, but typing " Grungetta " shows no results. However, results can be found for either spelling at sesamestreet.org.

However, the Sesame Street Unpaved book & the "Sesame Street 35 Years Anniversary Game" refer to the character as " Grungetta ". A Sesame Workshop press kit from 1984 uses " Grungetta ", as do the Sesame Family Newsletters from the early 2000s.
