Why hasn't this caught on for watching TV together, online ?

  A lot of people dislike talking while watching TV together. FWIW, Xbox used to have this feature back in 2009-10. You could synchronize a video with up to 4 friends and watch Netflix or movies/tv from the Zune store with them over party chat in a virtual theater. The screen could be full screen or you could zoom out a bit and make your avatars emote while watching. They discontinued the feature after a couple years saying it wasn’t very used.

  It's socially unacceptable to talk over a movie or TV show, but welcomed when talking over videogames.

    This probably has something to do with a movie/TV show is a ready-made story you mentally dive into while a multiplayer game session is a story that you create together. In the first case talking is disrupting while in the second it's part of the story.
