Remember when Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer and given just five weeks to live? Well, either his situation has drastically improved or his television cop drama, The Beast, is going to prove to be misnamed and very, very short lived.

A&E Television Networks will spend $650 million on new programming across TV and new media in 2008, up $50 million from a year ago and up 30% compared with 2006.

A&E … said it will launch a second scripted series in early 2009; the top contenders are "The Beast," starring Patrick Swayze, and "Danny Fricke," starring Connie Nielsen. The new series will join the upcoming "The Cleaner," which will debut in the summer. "Cleaner" star Benjamin Bratt was at the upfront, where A&E screened the first two acts of the pilot.

Guess that miracle cure worked!

    Happy for him, and Magic Johnson, and Pam Anderson, and other's that are living healthy lives despite having deadly illnesses. However, wtf do Wilford Brimley and I have to do besides checking our blood sugar, and checking it often to get rid of our die-ah-beet-us?

    Call me swayze but I hated Dirty Dancing. Fucking hated it. It wasn't even good fluff. And their love was NOT worth fighting for. Pussies.
