Real Grouches

Real Grouches is one of Grouch TV's newest shows hosted by Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street. Oscar says it's the show that "searches the world for interesting real-life Grouches and brings them right into your living room".

The first Grouch to appear is Romeo Scuggs from Hila Monster New Mexico. Romeo's special talent is, he can play screechy notes on a violin and, without missing a beat, tell people to scram. After hearing the music, Oscar asks Romeo how it feels to make music like that and Romeo says "Well, I guess I feel sorta proud-like". Oscar says he and all the viewers are proud of him and he thanks Romeo for being on "Real Grouches".

The next Grouch to appear is Luba Merquick from Slime Bottom Arkansas. Oscar says she's also the only Grouch in the world who can play a song with chalk on a blackboard (Oscar: "Must drive everybody right outta their skulls!"). After hearing the music Oscar admits he's very jealous of Luba's gift and wished he could do that for his friends to get rid of them. He asks Luba how it feels to have such a gift. Luba says "Well it makes me feel very proud". Oscar says they're proud to have Luba there and thanks her for being on "Real Grouches".

Next they have somebody called "Bob the Blob". Oscar doesn't know what he does but hopes he's good. He welcomes Bob the Blob, who, all of a sudden, starts playing really "yucky sweet flute music" and Oscar and the viewers start booing him. Suddenly, Bob the Blob reveals himself to be just Bob disguised as a Grouch!! Oscar says "What do you think you're doin here bright eyes?!" Bob says he's just sharing a little music with the viewers, which made him feel real proud. He says he's also proud of the little trick he just played on Oscar. Suddenly he starts playing some "nice" harmonica music and Oscar, not wanting to hear anymore, ducks back into his trash can while the viewers start throwing things at Bob.
