While he'd love his own sitcom (he's
actually sold some pilot ideas), "I'm
more than happy to do shows four or
five nights a week," says Gulman.
But, because Jewish traditions are
extremely important to him, he does-
n't perform on the High Holidays.

cuter than Woody Allen. She didn't
realize I wanted to be Woody Allen."
After graduating from Hofstra
University on Long Island, N.Y., he
gave acting a try, appearing in a cou-
ple of Off-Broadway plays and
attracting the attention of an agent.
"He saw me and said, 'If you come
to L.A., you'll never stop working.'
Like a shmuck, I went to L.A. and I
never started working. I started writ-
ing because I had to do something."
A high-school friend, Barry
Kirschenbaum, had preceded him to
the West Coast and got Rosenthal
some television assignments. He even-
tually ended up a supervising produc-
er on Down the Shore and the much
longer-lived Coach before being intro-
duced to Romano and creating
Everybody Loves Raymond around him.
Rosenthal grew up in a
Conservative household and was a bar
mitzvah. And right after that, he
vowed never to set foot in a temple
again."
He finds it ironic that he somehow
managed to "find my way back." He
married Monica Horan, a woman he
met in college, in 1990. She convert-
ed, and they now send their two chil-
dren to a Jewish day school. In fact,
she recently won the Tree of Life
((
Award from the Jewish National
Fund.
If the name Monica Horan is famil-
iar to Raymond viewers, it's because
she plays Amy, Ray's new sister-in-
law. "I was going to put whomever I
married into whatever show I was
doing," Rosenthal jokes.
Although the show technically ends
next spring, it will live on. It is
already ubiquitous in syndication. "It
was on five times yesterday,"
Rosenthal proudly proclaims.
Moreover, on Sept. 14, the first of a
series of ELR DVDs, Everybody Loves
Raymond The Complete First Season
was released. There's also a coffee-
table book, Everybody Loves Raymond:
Our Family Album (Pocket Books;
$19.95), published this month.
So what are Max and wife Helen
Rosenthal the proudest of? The show?
Their own appearances on it? Perhaps
the book?
"That's all great," Rosenthal says.
"But the fact that I'm getting paid for
a job is their biggest thrill." II
The ninth season of Everybody
Loves Raymond premieres 9 p.m.
Monday, Sept. 20, on CBS.
