 GRUNDGETTA , like  OSCAR  , sometime s slips up as a  GROUCH  , but not al ways. In  EPISODE 3763  of  SESAME STREET  when both she &  OSCAR  tell  SALLY MESSY YUCKYAEL  how  OSCAR  unwillingly fell in lo ve w / her ( which she snapped him  out of completely by kiss ing  him  ), eventually ,  GRUNDGETTA  starts feelin the same way. Just like  OSCAR  did, she h ear s " yucky sweet violin music " , her heart starts going " pitty p at , pitty pat " & she no longer feels like arguing. She begs  OSCAR  to just kiss her before she confesses her true love to him , which  he  agree s to do. How ever, just as expected she get s extremely angry.  OSCAR  says she told him  to do i t, but then she asks  him  if  he  ' d jump off a bridge if she told  him  to. After that t h  e y start arguing a gain.

In a video released for t he "  SESAME  Family Robinson  ", blog  PAM ARCIERO  was playing around w it h the  GRUNDGETTA   Muppet.  GRUNDGETTA  commented that she was nervous since she had n ' t been on camera in month s, referencing her absence in recent year s.
