Sesame Street 847 - The Lost Wicked Witch Episode

This is the main plot of the episode without any of the letter and number segments.

Not seen in 46 years, this long-lost episode of Sesame Street was leaked by an anonymous donor on June 18, 2022 on archive.org, but to make it easier for everyone, I'm placing this episode up on YouTube for everyone to view. It's so special because this episode aired only once and never seen again until now. It was pulled from broadcast because they believed it was "too scary for kids". After seeing the episode, and knowing about all horrid stuff that kids are exposed to nowadays such as Stranger Things or shows rated TV-MA, the question is, how scary is too scary?

The major plot of the episode involves the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz losing her broom and landing on Sesame Street. The Wicked Witch is played by Margaret Hamilton (who played the Wicked Witch in the 1939 MGM classic, The Wizard of Oz). She tries to get her broom back, but she can't have it unless she learns to ask politely to have it back, for the sake of getting back to Oz.

For all lovers of obscure shows, lost media, or anything that is banned by any given party because of that party's wild beliefs, this is for you!

Sesame Street was brought to you by the letter W, W for Witch, and the number 46, 46 for the number of years this episode has been lost.
