It takes two

In "Sam & Cat" (7 p.m. Sat., Nick), "iCarly" 's Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) and "Victorious" Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) move in together and start working at a Milwaukee brewery. Either that or they launch a baby-sitting business. Can't remember which.

Historic adventurers

"Sinbad" (8 p.m. Sat., Syfy) revisits the legendary sailor in this 12-episode fantasy series. It's followed by the 13-episode "Primeval: New World" (9 p.m., Syfy), which follows a team of animal experts and scientists tracking prehistoric and futuristic creatures.

Keep on truckin'

The snow may have (finally) melted, but the action is still cold-blooded in a new season of "Ice Road Truckers" (9 p.m. Sun., History), which marks the return of Lisa Kelly, who must choose a side when the battle wages in Manitoba.
