Lady Agatha (also referred to as Lady Knocknee) appeared in two Mysterious Theater segments on Sesame Street. She represents the typical grand dame dowager of mystery fiction, summoning the detective to the manor. In fact, the script for her first appearance calls her "a dowager type," while the second designates her as "AM grande dame."
She first called Sherlock Hemlock and his dog Watson to solve "The Mystery of the Missing Cat." Hemlock, knowing it was under something ending in "at," thinks it's Lady Agatha's new hat. Watson ruins the headgear as a result. Lady Agatha's husband, Sir Rodney, and their butler, Woodhouse, also appear.
Lady Agatha returns solo in "The Case of the Missing Toast," which also involves the theft of her roast. With rhymes once again as the clue, it turns out the thief is host Vincent Twice, who refuses to return the food to an incensed Lady Agatha.
