Just between us girls

The mother-and-child reunion is only a channel away, or so goes the unofficial theme song to "Fix My Mom," a new reality series in which life coach Laura Baron becomes the latest personality to insist that the most successful therapy sessions are televised. 8 p.m. Oxygen

Star wattage

If Bradley Cooper keeps logging so much airtime as Sen. Edward Morra on "Limitless," he may have to declare himself a presidential candidate. Cooper, an executive producer on the freshman series, makes yet another cameo, practically challenging Tom Cruise to make at least a fleeting appearance on the TV version of "Minority Report." 9 p.m. WCCO, Ch. 4

City in ruins

In "Wicked City," an 11-part series in which mismatched detectives (Jeremy Sisto and Gabriel Luna) hunt down a mass murderer in 1982 Los Angeles, the most gruesome crimes are committed by the drama's writers, who somehow restrained themselves from having one of their impossibly handsome cops mutter that he's "getting too old for this crap." The only creative spark comes from "Gossip Girl" veteran Ed Westwick, who oozes so much charm that you almost forgive him for chopping off the heads of would-be starlets on Make-Out Mountain. 9 p.m. KSTP, Ch. 5
