I'm Glad you asked!! it's a Canadian TV show broadcasted between 1994-1999! It follows a Mountie (Benton Fraser) going to Chicago to figure out just WHO killed his father; he partners up with the Chicago Police Detective (Ray Vecchio) that was on the case! He then ends up staying and solving crimes with his new found buddy... and together they..... Y'know....... NO but really They have a fun, dynamic duo buddy cop feel!!

I'll keep this brief since a lot of talented people on the internet can summarize how fun this show is (and also I cannot write) so Here is a page where I can show my luv and appreciation!

Anyways.... Continuing on......In Season three (1997) they completely replaced the detective Ray Vecchio with a whole different character and actor (YEAH FOR REAL) with a younger twinkier version of him (I am series ladies) he basically takes Ray Vecchio's identity so the REAL Vecchio can go undercover. It is then later revealed in the show that this new Ray's real name is Stanley (Raymond) Kowalski, or as we fanz like 2 call him... RayK.

Naturally fans missed their original Vecchio *audience crying* doesn't Fraser think about him... How could they do this 2 us...... But also on the other side of the fanbase, they actually ended up LUVING RayK even MORE than Vecchio; and Ladies this is when this gets off the rails... There was an actual whole SHIP WAR on the topic. I recommend reading into it, its bonkers but fascinating.

and if I am gonna give my humble opinion... My Personal, True, Ray is.......... Rayk
