CBS has pulled the plug on pretty much everything on their schedule without "CSI" or "NCIS" in the title.

What's gone? Cold Case, Numb3rs, Ghost Whisperer, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Gary Unmarried, Miami Medical, and Accidentally on Purpose.

They did renew Rules of Engagement and The Medium.

There's still hope for fans of Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Christine and Jennifer Love-Hewitt's Ghost Whisperer. ABC could be interested in both of those shows, but the odds are better for Christine. (Wanda Sykes co-stars on Christine, and her Fox talk show just got canceled last week). 

Patrick Swayze died today at the age of 57 of pancreatic cancer.

Swayze didn't have much of a TV career, although in the last year of his life, as he fought his cruel disease, he starred on A&E's "The Beast" (that's the still at left) and the 1985 mini-series "North & South" helped establish his career. Another big TV moment for Swayze was his legendary Chippendale audition dance-off with the late Chris Farley on SNL.

Of course, his big film hits were "Ghost," with "The View's" Whoopi Goldberg and "Dirty Dancing" filmed in the great state of North Carolina.

More importantly, Patrick Swayze seemed to be a lovely, graceful man who was crazy about his wife. That's not a bad legacy either.
