"the commercials prevent your favorite TV show" jumped out at me. I watch the BBC which has no ads and I find TV in the US virtually unwatchable because of the frequent of adverts. We record our favourite US shows and fast forward through the ads - Desperate Housewives? 43 minutes of show, 17 minutes of ads.
Of course some intrusions will disrupt any kind of game but immersion, because it relies on ignoring the real world is more vunerable to intrusion.
As for the doors, that's not a choice that some people can make. What you enjoy is not necessarily about choice, it's whatever works for you.
