Granny Grouch, Oscar's grandmother, appeared in Sesame Street's Season 2's premiere, Episode 0131. She knows that her grandchildren hate her big wet kisses, so she kisses them as often as she can. She returns to give her grandson another kiss in Episode 0161. Whether Granny Grouch is Oscar's maternal or paternal grandmother is unknown, as is her relationship to Grandpa Grouch.
Oscar's "Gram" appeared in Caroll Spinney's book How to Be a Grouch, but that Gram and Granny are the same Grouch is grounds for debate.
