The results of the investigation were given exclusively to TheWrap. Here’s what they found:

  • 66 percent of couples say watching TV together has strengthened their relationship; for millennial couples, it’s almost 75 percent
  • 55 percent of parents have put their kids to bed earlier or later so they could watch their favorite TV show together
  • Almost 30 percent of couples have canceled a social engagement to watch their favorite TV show
  • 50 percent of couples admit to “TV Cheating,” or watching without their partner
