Grundgetta

  Muppeteers   Brian Muehl  (1982 - 1984)  Pam Arciero  (1984 - present)

 Earliest Known Appearance: Episode 1736  GRUNDGETTA  is  OSCAR THE GROUCH  ' s equally  TRASHY  rotten,  GROUCH  girl friend.  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 best friends for " a very long time ".  GRUNDGETTA  ' s earliest appear ance was in Season 14.

 GRUNDGETTA , like  OSCAR  , has had a number of pets  over the years including her  WORM   Sylvia  , a  Rotten  doodle  named  Itchy  & a muddy piglet who won the Yucchiest Pet contest in  OSCAR  ' s  GROUCH  Jamboree .

 GRUNDGETTA , like  OSCAR  , sometimes slips up as a  GROUCH  , but not always. 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 kissing  him  ), eventually ,  GRUNDGETTA  starts feelin the same way. Just like  OSCAR  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 just kiss her before she confesses her true love to him , which  he  agrees to do. 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.

In a video released for the " Sesame Family Robinson ", blog Pam Arciero  was playing around with the  GRUNDGETTA  Muppet.  GRUNDGETTA  commented that she was nervous since she hadn ' t been on camera in months, referencing her absence in recent years.

Name
The spellin of the character ' s name has also varied over the years, switchin between "  GRUNDGETTA  " & "  GRUNGETTA  ".

The spell ing "  GRUNDGETTA  " appears in the storybooks, including & the books   A  GROUCH  ' s Christ mas  &  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 C T W document from 1994. As of January 18 th, 2008 , typing "  GRUNDGETTA  " in the search engine on the Sesame Street Video Player gives results , but typing "  GRUNGETTA  " shows absolutely no results what so ever. However, results can be found for either spelling at [http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Sesamestreet.org sesame street. org ].

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