Grundgetta



 Earliest Known Appearance: Episode 1736  Grundgetta  is  Oscar the Grouch  's equally  trashy  rotten,  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 best 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 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  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 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 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 18 th, 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 [http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Sesamestreet.org 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.
