Why would you want to do it with random people?

My family does a sort of "ghetto co-watching" all the time, where they'll phone somebody up and say, "Hey, want to watch Foo? OK, start it playing … now!" I know lots of people who do that sort of thing. That's who co-watching is for — people who want to watch something together but not necessarily make a trip to somebody's house.

My SO and I would do that fairly constantly with a few TV shows when I was living across the country. Making that trip every week for an hour of TV and talking was getting expensive :)
