Ex-'Raymond' Alumni Try New Shows

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Two stars and the creator of "Everybody Loves Raymond" may be coming back to television, but not as a package deal.

Patricia Heaton, who played Ray Romano's wife in the long-running CBS comedy, is making a half-hour pilot for ABC in which she plays a widowed mom who gets involved with a parent-teacher organization.

Justine Bateman and Mo Collins also are in the cast, a network spokeswoman said Thursday.

Brad Garrett, who played Romano's brother, is starring in the Fox pilot "'Til Death" as a married man whose next-door neighbors are newlyweds, a Fox spokesman said.

A talked-about "Raymond" spinoff for CBS starring creator Phil Rosenthal didn't came to fruition. Rosenthal is working on "Play Nice," a comedy pilot for CBS about a brother and sister running a family-owned toy company. The cast includes Sara Rue, Timm Sharp, Fred Willard, Swoosie Kurtz and Tom McGowan.

All the pilots are under consideration for the 2006-07 season. "Everybody Loves Raymond," which wrapped in 2005 after nine seasons, won two Emmy Awards for Heaton and three for Garrett.

Too bad Phil's Raymond spin-off didn't come to fruition. I wish Brad and Patty the best of luck with their shows, I'll definitely watch them.
