The Quiet Family

The Quiet Family is featured in a Sesame Street sketch in which Gordon introduces us to them and the Loud Family. He tells both parties to get themselves all jumbled up and then takes each individual person into account and has the viewer try to guess who goes with what family. First, we are introduced to the head of the family, Mr. Quiet, who almost forgets we have to identify him ourselves. Gordon quickly reminds him. There is also his wife, referred to here as Mother Quiet, and their daughter, who sings a brief little ditty that goes "my dog has fleas", which she likes to sing to her dog.

The Quiet Family lives up to its surname in that each member is very soft-spoken. In other words, they speak very quietly, though not so quiet that it is impossible to make out anything they say. Up until the very end of the sketch, that is, when the daughter suddenly gets all hyper and raises voice. Her parents, in trying to keep her quiet, end up talking louder themselves. Mr. Quiet tells his daughter she can't be so loud on television, which suggests that they were just pretending to be quiet for the sake of the show. The Loud family soon follows suit and reverses their volume as well.

Mr. Quiet is a Pumpkin Anything Muppet, Mother Quiet a Lavender one, and the daughter a Hot Pink, although a slightly darker hue than Melissa Loud of the Loud family.
