Season 7

Sesame Street (1969), Season 7 — 130 episodes of the children's educational classic, free to watch online on iFILM. Same block, same Muppets and the same letters and numbers, with a busier streak of stories running through the year.

This 1975 run gives the regulars more to do. Big Bird launches a run for president, roving reporter Headline Howie chases a scoop about Snuffy, and Mr. Hooper heads back to school to study. Winter buries the street in snow, so the gang builds a snowman and works out how to thaw the place out. In one memorable visit the Wicked Witch of the West — Margaret Hamilton, back in the role she played in The Wizard of Oz — loses her broomstick and turns the block upside down.

It all still serves the basics: counting, reading, learning to get along. The season feels livelier than the last and suits preschoolers who have outgrown songs alone. Stream Sesame Street Season 7 online on iFILM.
