Yes, everyone here could commit the perfect murder. We'd just have no reason to do it. You are correct, cybermike, randomly shooting someone with a pre-planned escape path is about as foolproof as you can get.
Notice the word "random." If your wife mysteriously falls off a bridge or some other "perfect" scenario you have, the detectives will still put you at the top of their list. Or some guy you had a beef with drives his car into a wall, etc. They will find out who wanted this person dead. And you are not smarter than the detectives are, in the sense that you cannot tell a lie they cannot pick up, and you will fall into patterns they will see.
I don't think those television shows help people commit the perfect murder in any way. Alot of the plots involve people with access to certain drugs, or people who own concrete businesses. And the average murder is a crime of the moment, a crime commited with a kitchen knife.

First and foremost... the TV shows are heavily edited... there's lots there that hits the cutting room floor that you don't see, i.e. the mundane boring crap that isn't very dramatic but still tedious and meticulous.
Random... the DC Snipers were random... they were still caught... not perfect... they were better than others... but the human factor still weighs in. Even many of the serial murders make small mistakes, Joel Rifkin, Jeffrey Dahmer, Richard Ramierez, John Wayne Gacy... so far the only one that got away with it is Jack the Ripper...
