Of all the shows they could have chosen, they go with Everybody Loves Raymond. SMH.
They tried a British remake of The Walking Dead but people kept mistaking it for a BBC documentary about council housing.

This is gonna suck bad
Local remakes rarely work, I mean apart from a few remakes like step toe and son/Stanford and son ( which still amazes me how few American know its a remake) and the upper hand/who's the boss.
Plus, it's not as if the UK doesn't air Raymond anyway... In fact repeats are shown on Channel 4 AND Comedy Central every single day.
So... Why?!
They never outright say it's a remake unless you read the credits or look it up. They tend to mention moreso nowadays but back in the 70s, nobody knew ****. Norman Lear snatched up a surprisingly large amount of UK sitcoms to adapt.

This has got to be an April fools day joke. The British are too clever for that sort of thing
