You cannot be immune to commercials.

I don't think I'm better than anyone else for having stopped watching television about four years ago. I can just recommend it as having greatly improved the quality of my life. I probably do have a slightly addictive channel surfing impulse. Netflix. Just launched in Canada. Has Sopranos and all those beloved series, as well. (Doesn't solve the sports problem, and its true, we'll miss the next holocaust on CNN, but hey, trade-offs. . . . )
