How I Met Your Mother: CBS has followed up Carter and Craig's new overall deal with an early order for season six of How I Met Your Mother. (Awesome.) Above, you can get your first official look at Carrie Underwood guest starring on the show, in what looks to be a fantasy Mad Men spoof featuring Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) as Don Draper.

And speaking of Mad Men, a fan favorite won't be returning next season after all. Plus, which fired female character is unexpectedly back at work on Grey's Anatomy? (Hint: We're not talking about Izzie!)

Mad Men: Drat. Bryan Batt's character Salvatore Romano is off of Mad Men for good. Mad Men show runner Matt Weiner says the show is spotlighting the darker side of the '60s through Sal's sexual-harassment storyline and its consequences. Wow, what a loss for the show and us fans.

So You Think You Can Dance: Mia Michaels hasn't abandoned us yet! Apparently she's set to judge SYTYCD's season-seven auditions in Manhattan today. Cousin, we are so happy! We do the dance of joy!

• Martha, Martha, Martha: First Borpo, now Martha Stewart. The housekeeping queen joins the talk diva in switching her daily series from syndication to cable. Oprah Winfrey is moving to her OWN network, while Stewart has signed a deal that migrates her program to the Hallmark Channel.

Grey's Anatomy: Despite the fact that her cutie character April was fired earlier this season, Sarah Drew is back on Grey's Anatomy for the Feb. 11 episode, "Valentine's Day Massacre." You can see her for yourself right here, along with a new pic of Chyler Leigh's Lexie with a shocking new dye job. So what is April doing back on the show? Well, insiders whisper to us that her appearance is not a flashback, and our crack photo team zoomed in and the label on her white coat definitely reads Seattle Grace Mercy West, so...What's your best guess? BTW, if you're a fan of Sarah (and we certainly are), you should know that she's on Supernatural this Thursday at 9 p.m. as a nice girl who gets possessed by a demon. Yay for that news, but we can't help but also wonder if we'll ever see her again as Sal's tragic wife/beard Kitty Romano on Mad Men. Sigh.

Are you excited for more HIMYM? Still bummed about Sal's departure from Sterling Cooper? Hit the comments!
