Yes, the odd thing about the 'Sesame Street' episode is that it scared so many children viewers (and angered their parents) that the episode was only shown a single time and never repeated by PBS (though I did eventually see a copy of it on RUclips but I'm not sure it's still available). Interestingly enough, it had the WotW allied with Oscar the Grouch AND had her 'disguise' herself as a sweet little old lady to infiltrate the Street.
IIRC, this was about the time she'd become semi-famous playing Cora the Maxwell House Storekeeper who seemed like a fave older relative one wish one could visit more often than just those ads!
Yes, I can see why Miss Hamilton wanted to calm children down and thankfully Mr. Rogers was a great help to her in that goal.
