Why is it movies about heists always make it seem so easy as if anyone could rob a bank or armored car? It promotes a false sense of hope as well thought out plans seem to go off without a hitch (well not always but you know what I mean).

In the 1980's and 1990's comedy was king on television and the thirty-minute sitcom show was all the rage. The Cosby Show, Roseanne, Home Improvement, etc. spent years making us laugh on a weekly basis. Will and Grace came in on the end of this phenomenon and spent eight years entertaining audiences.
