Grundgetta

 Grundgetta  is  Oscar the Grouch 's equally rotten,  trashy  Grouch girlfriend.  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". Her earliest appearance was in Season 14.

 Grundgetta , like Oscar, 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  Oscar , sometimes slips up as a Grouch, but not always. 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 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 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.

In a video released on "Sesame Family Robinson", Pam Arciero played 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 spelling " 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 CTW document from 1994. As of January 18th, 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 " Grundgetta ". A Workshop press kit from 1984 uses " Grungetta ", as do the Sesame Family Newsletters from the early 2000s.
