Tired of watching Reese Witherspoon clad in Pepto-Bismol pink in those slight “Legally Blonde” movies? Reese stars as an innocent teen whose psycho boyfriend (Mark Wahlberg) terrorizes her family in the 1996 thriller “Fear” (7 p.m., WB). Sold as “‘Fatal Attraction’ for teens,” the film failed to thrill critics. Leonard Maltin called it a “passable slasher pic.”

Fans looking for Witherspoon’s surprising early films should hike down to their video store and rent “Freeway.” Witherspoon stars in this violent satire as a modern-day Little Red Riding Hood from the wrong side of the cloverleaf. While this twisted film is definitely not for children, Witherspoon’s performance is breathtaking. Keifer Sutherland co-stars as the weirdest Big Bad Wolf ever.

• Perhaps “Amazing Race 4” (7 p.m., CBS) should change its name to “Amazingly Bad Travel Agents” or just “Amazingly Banal Behavior Caught on Tape.” Last week, our intrepid travelers spent half the episode trying to book a flight from Cochin, India, to Malaysia. I guess that’s “reality,” but is it entertainment?

And after all of that excitement, nobody was even eliminated. Maybe next week they can wait in line for 45 minutes at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
