Garth Sinew is a physical education teacher at another school in Walkerville. In "Works Out", he is the opponent of Walkerville Elementary School representative Ms. Frizzle at the fourth-grade year’s[1] Teacherathlon, hosted by Harry Arm.
Trivia[]
- He was voiced by the Miami Dolphins' quarterback Dan Marino.
- Episode descriptions for "Works Out" reveal that Mr. Sinew works at another school.
- Despite this, Janet, a Walkerville Elementary student, is his trainer and biggest fan.
- It should also be noted that Janet goes to WES in the canon of the 1994 series and Rides Again (“Gets Lost in Space,” “Butterfly and the Bog Beast,” “Gets a Bright Idea,” “Goes Upstream,” “Makes a Stink,” “Pigs in the Wind,” and “Janet’s Mystery Gene”) but went to a different school in the Cole/Degen books. It is possible this was retconned, much like in “Ralphie Strikes a Nerve,” another episode that implies Janet goes to another school.

- ↑ Although “The Land Before Tim” and “Ghost Farm” reveal the duology to be set in Rides Again’s decade, the 2010s—both shows in the duology use a floating timeline and retcon anything outdated, such as Pluto’s planetary status and the type of computer Mr. Ruhle has.
