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 Rosenthal didn't came to fruition.

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.

Everybody Loves Raymond, which wrapped in 2005 after nine seasons, won two Emmy Awards for Heaton and three for Garrett.
