It seems like there were a few different cheerleader segments on the same subjects, possibly made at the same time, which don't have much difference.

For example, there are five F cheers. Two of them have the lead cheerleader (is that what you'd call the leader in a group of cheerleaders?) getting the others to say "F" a few times. Two other ones have him saying "Give me an A!", and so on before getting to F, and I beleive the others being confused when he says "Put them all together and what have you got?" And one other one that's like the last two mentioend, but Beautiful Day Monster is among them, and he makes abig deal out of how weird it is. The CTW Archives "First Season Show Content" lists them as "F Cheer #1" and so on, while the web video player calles them "F Cheer Version 1" and so on, but I don't know if the version numbers are the same or if the person in charge of the video player put in nubmers at random.

There are also two K cheers, which are like the F cheers, only with K as the featured letter. Like the F cheers, they aere liste din CTW archives documents as "KCheer #1" and "K Cheer #2", while the web video player lists them as "K Cheer Version 1" and "K Cheer Version 2".

There are also at least three SCHOOL cheers, which apear in Getting Ready for School, and as far as I know (I've only seen themsdescribed), they are all basically the same. Perhaps remakes of the same sketch made at the same time.

Besides the letter and "school" cheers, I recall one with cheerleader Muppets sounding out the word "rocket"; when they finished, live footage of a rocket launch appeared behind them.

Do you know whetehr there were multiple rocket cheers?

I wonder what was up with each one having many differently-shot versions. Many are the same, with differences being hard to describe (some have the cheerleaders behind a brick wall, some don't, some have the cheerleaders positioned in a different order, etc).

I've seen only one version of the "rocket" cheer, but that might be because my episode collection is fairly small.
