How Sesame Street's Banned 847 Episode Was Found | The Lost Wicked Witch Segment 

Ratio bro

Can't wait!

I remember that this was #1 on your Top 40 Lost and Banned Kid Shows Episodes video. I’m really happy that this was found, major W for the Lost Media and Sesame Street communities.

is the r/lostmedia video the full episode?

LESGOOO

I concur

I wish more kids media did that today, the closest thing I could think of is zootopia,

@@Elvusmiw the thing is that i would not count zootopia as kids media. Its a family movie. Which means its for everyone. Most actually good children content are for everyone. Mr.rogers was a show that really catered to kids and that didn't pass them off as stupid. I wished there were more kids content like this these days but i cant thing of anything similar.

Right. 👍🏻 I miss when things like “kids” fantasy films also could stretch a little and showcase some deeper themes, knowing that young audience is there but essentially having confidence they can deal with it and would get something out of it. Pretty sure all of us were enriched from The Neverending Story or Willow.

No, huge difference. Saint Rogers is a flawless moral angel. Sesame Street is a neighborhood comprised of actual monsters who trick children into the most disgusting activities like learning math even though calculators exist

Agree and Mr Rodgers addressed that there’s nothing to be afraid of which I wished Sesame Street should do a warning before airing the episode

@@Tasha31301 No they made the right decision. Giving a warning is useless because what if a kid doesn't understand or switches to it and doesn't know what episode is playing? They need to assure kids that they can watch without being a fraid

25:31-the word is CONVERSE, not “coversate”! Peace.

@@verdantmischief7092 I mean we're talking about a time when it aired in the 70s. most people were heavily obsessed with religion, even thriller (music video) of Michael Jackson was going to be banned in the early 80s but thankfully they put a disclaimer first. Funny how karens and straight males say that this generation is soft, sensitive and ❄ lol

@@AntiStraightMaleSociety Seriously. "Soft" is burning people at the stake because you think they're witches.. (Or the color of their skin but you know, we don't talk about that part of history!!)

LMAO! Perhaps she shouldnt have dressed like a witch. She should have simply joined the show as herself!

They say she was was very nice to Judy Garland (Dorothy) who was mistreated on set, sexually harassed by the male little people, and was being drugged by the studio making the film.

@@kab9706 I would hav supported the witch throwing the hour glass at the perverted munchkins

My aunt knew her. Amazing woman

She was a primary school teacher and loved children she hated that little children were so terrified of her

its been 3 months. wheres my damn keys?!

@@toigodgohdgjdfjkkj9878 hahahaha. Thanks 😂

I thought the witch might get the broom back if she asked nicely, but she didn't think that way and was not used to being polite. So much so that she found it difficult to say the words when David tacitly told her that she had to do it that way.

​@@GoodiesfanfulBut it's her proberty. If you keep other people's stuff, that's a crime. It's this bigott BS: If someone does Not act Like you want them to or disagrees with you, you can offend them and and steal from them, and that's okay, because you are one of the good, and this person is different, so it must be a Bad Person. That's bigott narcissistic BS.

@@HermunthrudaWaldheim yes, it was her property. I hope the second time around, they just left it outside the store for her to collect.

rewatching it **does** make you realize that it wasn't so scary after all those years too.

Satanic panic was a really stupid time

@@fredericabernkastel8354 Given the info in the video, it's most likely that it was just the parental complaints what did the trick for this. Because even the study showed the kids weren't really all that terrified, if at all

@@aquelgamermexicano i mean yes, for sure, but I could imagine some really young kid being scared of something like that, even if it's not scary at all. Happened a few times already

@@fredericabernkastel8354 Oh no doubt, i mean a Lot of folks from the online generation were scared of Sonic.Exe or Tails Doll, so it's not impossible

She would have been proud and overcome with emotion to see how much this episode meant to a lot of people. She would have probably had some funny stories from working on the set as well.

Oh don't worry, I'm sure Margaret is watching in delight from Heaven. :)

@@hannahmabbott7370 I wonder if any of Margaret's children or grandchildren know.

She’s technically around. The fact that she could cause so much fear in kids for Sesame Street or even in the wizard of oz (which I wonder if then if she scared kids), means she’s that talented.

fatherless pfp

I lived during those times and saw the wizard of Oz, I was scared witless by the witch. When she came out on TV a few times as a guest, it scared me again. None of this stopped me from watching the wizard of Oz from time to time as I grew up, though. Later, those fears were replaced by horror movies, and that horror was eventually replaced as a grown up by the fear of the IRS. 😆 🤣

The whole thing is really a testament to her acting skills,Imagine selling a character so much that it has that kind of impact

I know of some people who say if the parents hate it, you've got it right.

When i was young maybe 3 I was very scared of that witch

I can see how some might be a bit scared but children know the difference between real and make believe.

It was Snuffalupagus getting the divorce for domestic assault with his trunk, Mrs Snuffalupagus had to get a restraining order because he kept harassing her & the kid got caught up in between & took a giant seething crap on the carpet , so Mrs Snuffalupagus hit the kid. Parents didn’t want their kids to see that one.

Yeah, and they were using their kids as a smokescreen. I can buy SOME kids being scared of the Witch, but I wonder how many of those letters from kids were genuine or faked by the parents using big babyish writing and simple words as a cover.

I was four years old going on five when I saw this...didn't scare me a bit...I'm 53 now...I stated above that parents over-reacted, but watched the Wizard of Oz on a regular basis...someone replied to me with 'rude'. lol

Heck yeah

The world didn't deserve Mr Rogers, but the world is a worse place without him.

@@wespapes2054 yep I wonder how would he react today to the the world?

Probably the networks call to do that but I agree he was amazing

That movie with Tom Hanks. Idk if I ever cried so much, for so long in my life. My mom and I, who I was watching it with, were both going through some stuff, at the time

Preach

Should probably be broadcast at polling places, too many adults didn't watch Mr Rogers 😉

Except witches arent pretend, and they are very deceptive people, every one ive ever met says they are good, which is total BS, and dont bother arguing my point you could spend all day trying to deceive me it wont work. We are passed the days of being dumbed down and lied to.

Surprised it’s not censored…

@@5555nickelwitches are real and wondered who would say something. Unfortunately, you’re misguided on the judgement and wrong. Witches have more morals and love than Catholics or Christians. Proud witch raised by wonderful witches.

That's Bible thumper for you. Always running things because of their belief in fairy tales

The older generation like to pretend these things never happened before 2010 but the truth is that people have been "offended" and "acting like snowflakes" forever. Even when Sesame Street first aired in 1969, there were letters from people trying to get it off the air because the show dared to show people and kids of all different colors and cultures playing together.

I have felt the same way

Truthfully, kids have always been Afraid of the Wicked witch of the west. It’s an objective fact, and also keep in mind, the Wizard of Oz wasn’t readily available to watch as you please in the 1970s, so these kids were not used to seeing the Character. Also try to put it into the perspective of a child, not an adult. Children often don’t understand the difference between real and fake, and seeing something like this could be scary with no explanation.

Seems to me like it was a result of parents back then drilling the whole "ooh, witches are satanic" "Satanism is bad and scary!' idea into their children's heads, more than anything tbh... I honestly feel bad for Margaret she seemed like such a genuine person too.

They overreacted. To be fair, kids then weren’t typically exposed to the level of media they are today. They weren’t as used to it, so it probably was a little scarier to kids then.

The wizard of Oz is just as well known if not more so, not to mention she probably taught hundreds of children

me to

:(

I really doubt that was at the forefront of her mind nearly ten years later, after all the other stuff she had achieved.

She may have been thinking "haha I still got it!" 😏

She looks more like a British politician. At least in my opinion

I wish I could meet Margaret Hamilton, she seems like a sweet and interesting person, and she was the OG witch!

A very sweet teacher at that

I think that I heard somewhere that she was a teacher before she became an actress.

@@r66fplaysgames the beginning of the video's introduction for her literally said she was a former kindergarten teacher lol

And based on the protesting letters parents wrote (which is on the Muppet Wiki). I'm not sure if they even saw the film, despite it airing every year on CBS, then at the time the episode aired, NBC.

You have to remember though, watching movies in the 70s wasn't as accessible as it is now. The only way you could do it is by going to the movies or the film playing on the television and even then there were only incredibly limited ways of recording it off the TV you see.

@@coolperson962 But Oz played on television every year and was a big television event at the time. I know because I've researched about Oz and it's creator L. Frank Baum for the past 14 years.

It was the moment I read "the deities" that I saw your pfp and realized. Your entire comment is nothing but witch propaganda 🧙‍♀️

@DngrDan think that if you want, though you are very wrong. It just shows how narrow-minded and bigoted your world is.

@@matthewvalente5877 scary for a child and scary for adults like you and me are different things...

@@matthewvalente5877 you sound like an insensitive parrot

@@matthewvalente5877 being autistic, you of anyone should recognize that everyone experiences emotions and processes things differently. there's no need to shame anyone for feeling afraid of something, especially a child.

Frr, they even said that about weed

Unlike today when people see something, anything really, and they immediately call it -ist and -phobe and get it cancelled and censored

Well to be fair, it is a witch in this case

These days they say it's the work of muh white supremacy.

What do you mean "back then?" Satanic panics are a regular cycle in American culture.

this is so interesting to hear omg!! im glad not every child was terrified of it (the count was one of my favorites too!)

I remember hearing some kids my age were scared of the count but not enough to complain about it, it was more of a opinion like not liking spiders. I was born in ‘78.

"Early stage of the Karen movement" Lol!! Yes I agree! Definitely it was the parents, and part of the long history of the Satanic scare by white Europeans, and starting in Salem Witch trials on these shores!!

it’s perfectly reasonable to think that 2 & 3 year olds would be terrified of the Witch. it’s all about context. there had been nothing remotely close to that scary on Sesame Street up til that point. when she grabs the broom and appears to get electrocuted… that’s a powerful image that would no doubt terrify a 2 year old. it’s a credit to Hamilton as an actress that she could do the role so convincingly.

Well it affected me. I had nightmares of the bad witch tickling me nearly to death. At first i was upset and afraid that witch would appear in my dream again like wh en i watched wizard of Oz. After Mr Roger's episode i did lighten up and played with brooms to doing all that same stuff. However to this day i get that old hag tickling me making me vibrate unnaturally. I hate that thing

That's...pretty Normal. Lots of people get scared by dolls that there is a name for it. And Chucky gives good evidence for why.

Wow. Congrats. That’s very amazing to hear. She’ll definitely live on in the history of not only cinema, but history itself.

She would’ve been so nice.

Amazing!!! You're so lucky! 🥰

@@herobrine7617 The Wizard Of Oz has one of the worst movie productions in movie history. It had: Bad work place conditions, alleged sexual assault for many of the actors on set, and Judy Garland the actor for the main character (Dorothy) was in so much constant stress and abuse that she became addicted to amphetamines and barbiturates at the age of 17 and later died of overdose in 1969.

Here's the opening in question: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H_iGaQglnKg.html The show is worth checking out, particularly if you're interested in seeing a young Morgan Freeman as Dracula taking a bubble bath.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with the term horror TV hosts.... but when I was a kid. Growing up in the late 80s early 90s.... in my local TV area... I was scared of the TV horror host the ghoul, and the son of ghoul... until I found out that they did other gigs on the side and I started watching them on TV I wasn't afraid anymore

thats so true!

That's exactly what the episode tried to convey, I think. The wicked witch isn't doing anything wrong, she just crash-landed into sesame street, and the cast stole her broom because they were afraid of her and what mischief she could cause. This made her angry and she cast some spells, until the broom was returned and she left without much fanfare. The newspaper said the episode was a lesson on fear, and the plot makes it obvious what that is: unusual things can be scary, but if you let fear control your actions, you can hurt others. Ironically enough, the kids got this lesson (they understood why the witch was angry) but the parents didn't. Their refusal to confront their fear of their kids getting "corrupted by satanism on tv" got an episode banned for 40+ years.

She was playing the character the *wicked* witch of the west though, she wasn't acting as a different witch.

I'm sick of people having this absurd mentality that if you have dark hair, skin, eyes that you are more dangerous than somebody who is blue eyed, blond white skin.

But I also blame media, because if you notice almost everytime the black haired character is the aggressive one, the blond blue eyed the good hearted, calm loving character.

You like kids having nightmares?

That’s a silly response. There is NO REASON not to make this episode available to those that would like to see it. If you have small children that you believe would be scared by the episode, you don’t have to show it to them. 🙄 A 40+ year old ban “to protect the children” is just plain dumb. It doesn’t have to be aired on TV, just made available to those curious about it.

parents with gaming

Hahaha yeah, on point

It's also likely that the parents back then were younger as people tended to start families earlier. So yeah the chances that they weren't alive when The Wizard of Oz was released are pretty high.

Definitely an interesting perspective. Plus I think people aren’t realizing just how young some of the kids who watch the show are. This very well could’ve been many kids first introduction to scary things and that can be overwhelming for a kid whose unprepared. Many kids probably loved the episode, for others, it was unexpected and scary.

Weren't the 1970s also the time of the "Satanic Panic"? Where a lot of pearl-clutching evangelical Christians thought metal music had satanic messages and stuff like that? I could definitely see parents of that time getting angry about a witch on Sesame Street because of that. Possibly some of the complaints weren't even because the witch actually scared children, just that their parents thought it was improper. That seems in line with the test audience kids not being particularly scared, just curious.

Okay. OMG, THANK YOU! I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought it was strange. Sure, this was in the days before home media, and I can't remember what the exact situation was for airing that movie on television, but she's a character from one of the most famous movies of all time. She even mentions Oz several times. And yet, a lot of the complaints act like this was an original character created specifically for the show, and even then they somehow get the idea she's going to be a recurring regular. It reminds me of these oddly negative reviews two parody themed Sesame Street albums (Sesame Road and Born to Add) got on Amazon quite some time back. Suffice to say, it was a lot of "I bought this for my too young 1-2 year old, and they didn't all the sudden quiet down, so it's fail." Yeah. Like a 2 year old's going to care if there's a parody version of Billy Idol's Rebel Yell.

@@squillz8310 even if those parents weren’t alive at the time Oz was released, in the last century, as far as childrens books and beloved movies go, the wizard was number 1. The movie would have only been about 40 years old at that time, and still extremely iconic. However, i dont think there was any way for households to rewatch their favorite movies, VHS was still not available, so that could be a factor. Along with seeing the wicked witch in the sesame setting, without context, they most likely didn’t recognize her but I still find it odd. It feels like I’ve known the characters in Oz since I can remember and I was born wayyy after.

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state. “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.) Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.) Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894) The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed. The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666

I don't really blame the parents for writing in. This is back before the internet and streaming where the kids expected to watch their favorite show at a certain time of day. The parents couldn't just play another episode and so reached out formally and many of the letters seem polite enough. Regardless of what you teach your child they can still decide to be afraid of the episode. Sesame street just went overboard and locked it away like it was illegal or something.

My mom would have yelled at me for watching too much tv and turn it off and go do something constructive or go clean my room. So I would have just been quiet and happy with the scary witch. Don’t tell mom anything because the tv will be OFF!

@@abdelnajjar8191 but kids can watch the actual movie lol

except the ones that arbitrarily ban leaks because "it wasn't meant to be recorded", as if the entire episode was meant to be leaked in the first place.
