The box and lid are wrapped separately and all they just lift the lid off the box. No tape to break, no wrapping paper, no cussing.

This is not real life.

No one locks their doors

No one rinses out their mouth after they brush their teeth

Opening a package in a movie or TV show is shoe leather. Just like saying goodbye when they are on the phone. It is mundane, takes time, and adds nothing to the story unless someone (usually a child) is frantically tearing into a package which does convey a useful emotion.

If only poor Chubbs could have slowly unwrapped his present.

They don’t have to rewrap the present between each take on the set.

Why did all those people in shows in 70’s & early 80’s somehow end up in quicksand but were pulled out at the last second?

Because it takes time to unwrap on camera and you can only do one take before having to re-wrap. Duh.
