Sure, she can fend off sword-wielding enemies—but can she handle high school?“The Fix” (KOAT-7 9pm) Marcia Clark (lead prosecutor from the O.J. Simpson trial) is executive producer of this suspiciously self-referential legal drama abut an Los Angeles DA (Robin Tunney from The Craft) whose life falls apart when she fails to land a prosecution on an A-list actor for double murder. Eight years later, the same celebrity falls under suspicion of yet another murder, and our heroine gets her second shot at justice. Little bit of wish fulfillment, eh, Marcia?Tuesday 19“Mental Samurai” (KRQEDT-2 8pm) Rob Lowe (sure, why not?) hosts this gimmicky game show (’member John McEnroe and “The Chair”?) in which contestants are strapped into a gyroscopic contraption and must answer questions while being flung around the studio like a ride at the state fair.“The Village” (KOB-4 9pm) A bunch of random people (single mom, young law student, illegal immigrant, PTSD war vet, etc.) live in an apartment building in Brooklyn in this ensemble drama.Wednesday 20“Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists” (Freeform 6pm) ABC Family/Freeform’s seven-season teen mystery (based on the novel series by Sarah Shepard) returns with another spinoff series (after 2013’s “Ravenswood”).
