‘Raymond’ stars test other waters
- Share via
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.
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 Garrett didn’t work out.
“Raymond” creator Phil 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.
