This week on The Produce Stand, we celebrate six years of TPS and finish our recap and review of The Wrath of Grapes Part 1.
After Don Cherry’s disastrous season in Colorado, his coaching career appears to be over. But when Hockey Night in Canada comes calling, Grapes begins an unlikely second act that will eventually make him one of the most recognizable personalities in Canadian television.
We follow Don through his awkward first appearances on television, where producer Ralph Mellanby recognizes something special beneath the wrong cameras, mangled names and refusal to follow directions. Mellanby’s advice to stop saying “I think” and start trusting his instincts helps transform the hesitant analyst into the Don Cherry audiences would come to know.
As Coach’s Corner begins taking shape, Jared Keeso seemingly disappears into the role, while Don’s growing popularity puts him increasingly at odds with CBC executives.
We wrap things up with our ratings and MVPs.
