You need to provide more information. How do you access the TV-show? Is it on television, on a DVD, in a video file? "Basically people skip commercials, but in my case I need to record them." Does the fact that people skip commercials have anything to do with the question? Please clarify the question so that we can help you! :)

Mythtv could be of use to you. It will automatically mark commercial in points and out points in a recording. You could modify the their *transcode* shell script to cut the program and leave the commercials.
