Notes
Several of the Muppets are depicted both as youths and as professional drivers, pilots, and so on. For example, Betty Lou is shown driving an ambulance wearing a paramedic's uniform, as well as wearing her trademark dress while standing on a street corner with Elmo watching Telly deliver his newspapers.
