Do you think it was bad in retrospect to find ep 847

  

 Well, had Sesame Workshop made the episode available to the public in the first place then it never would've had to have been 'leaked'.    Them hiding it for so long decades after the original controversy is what doesn't make any sense to me.    It's one of those episodes that would never be put back into television circulation anyways and all of the little kids who got frightened by the episode have long since grown up so there really was no longer an excuse to hide it anymore.    Today's kids have access to far worse media to get scared of so I'd think the 'lost' wicked witch episode is pretty damn tame by comparison.

I honestly think it should've been included in one of those 'Old School' home release sets that came out several years ago.   Sesame Workshop can cry 'copyright claim' all they like, hiding things like episode 847 like they did just invites the curiosity and emboldens people to start trying to track the lost media down themselves.
