Just as Wright was a modernist who didn't like the rubric, so too was he a prototypical modern figure in all the meretricious pop senses. He was a child of a dysfunctional family. He wore long hair and dressed expensively and eccentrically for effect: broad-brimmed hat, cape, velvet suit with lace collar and cuffs, immense bows, tassled cummerbunds, high heels. He was not just an adulterer but a free-love ideologue. He was a media celebrity; trains and theater curtains were held for him.

The new CBS series, about three brothers who wear black fedoras as members of a police special-crimes unit, is in many ways the most preposterous new show of the season. In last week's premiere, the villain, a sadistic ex-con, was an unstoppable monster straight out of Friday the 13th, and the action scenes (including a bungee-jump knockout) made Road Runner cartoons look realistic.
