A previously banned episode of ‘Sesame Street’ from 1976 has recently reemerged after nearly five decades. The episode, which features Margaret Hamilton reprising her iconic role as the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz, was initially aired once and then pulled due to concerns from parents who found it too frightening for children. However, on June 18, snippets of the episode were uploaded to YouTube, offering a glimpse into a segment that had been largely forgotten since its original airing.

In the episode, a mysterious wind brings a broomstick to Sesame Street, which David uses to clean in front of Mr. Hooper’s store. The witch, characterized by her green skin and classic black attire, returns to reclaim her broom, but she can only do so if it’s not being held by anyone else. Her attempts to retrieve it are accompanied by dramatic lightning and thunder effects, which contribute to the overall scariness, even though the episode is relatively mild. The witch also creates chaos by making it rain inside the store and threatens to transform Big Bird into a feather duster.

David stands his ground, insisting he won’t return the broom until the witch shows him respect. Big Bird takes up arms to defend his friend, declaring his bravery with a hockey stick and baseball bat. Meanwhile, Oscar the Grouch humorously expresses his affections for the witch’s antics. Disguising herself as an ordinary person, the witch tries to trick David into giving up the broom, but he sees through her ruse. Ultimately, David convinces her to use the magic word “please” in order to get the broom back. The episode concludes with the witch flying away, only to crash when she tries to ride without holding on.

While the witch may be unsettling for young viewers, the episode’s underlying messages about confronting bullies and the value of kindness remain relevant.
