In honor of Father’s Day—it’s this Sunday, buy your presents now!—Facebook pulled data on [shared interests that dads have with their kids.](http://newsroom.fb.com/news/2014/06/fathers-day-on-facebook/ "undefined")

The social platform pored through its 1.28 billion active monthly users to find self-identified fathers and their 18-and-up children to compare their “Likes” in topics including movies, TV shows, athletes, and musicians. It then broke down how things differ between father/daughter and father/son shared interests.

The contrast was pretty stark. Dads’ and daughters’ most liked movies, for example, is _The Notebook_. Dads and sons were into _Star Wars._ Dads and kids of both genders “liked” _The Hangover_ the most. The most surprising and stereotyped data, however, was for television. It turns out that Dads and their girls are really into _Teen Mom_!

Here’s the top 10 shared TV show likes for fathers and daughters:

1. [NCIS](https://www.facebook.com/NCIS "undefined")
2. [Teen Mom](https://www.facebook.com/teenmom "undefined")
3. [The Ellen DeGeneres Show](https://www.facebook.com/ellentv "undefined")
4. [Grey’s Anatomy](https://www.facebook.com/GreysAnatomy "undefined")
5. [Duck Dynasty on A&E](https://www.facebook.com/duckdynasty "undefined")
6. [Criminal Minds](https://www.facebook.com/CriminalMinds "undefined")
7. [House](https://www.facebook.com/House "undefined")
8. [The Secret Life of the American Teenager](https://www.facebook.com/secretlife?ref=br%5Ftf "undefined")
9. [True Blood](https://www.facebook.com/TrueBlood "undefined")
10. [Pretty Little Liars](https://www.facebook.com/prettylittleliars "undefined")

The father/son TV favorites have no overlap:

1. [Family Guy](https://www.facebook.com/FamilyGuy "undefined")
2. [SportsCenter](https://www.facebook.com/SportsCenter "undefined")
3. [MythBusters](https://www.facebook.com/MythBusters "undefined")
4. [Tosh.0](https://www.facebook.com/toshpoint0 "undefined")
5. [South Park](https://www.facebook.com/southpark "undefined")
6. [Band of Brothers](https://www.facebook.com/bandofbrothers "undefined")
7. [Two and a Half Men](https://www.facebook.com/TwoandaHalfMen "undefined")
8. [The Walking Dead](https://www.facebook.com/TheWalkingDeadAMC "undefined")
9. [Futurama](https://www.facebook.com/Futurama "undefined")
10. [Sons of Anarchy](https://www.facebook.com/SonsofAnarchy "undefined")

And now here’s what fathers and both of their children “like” to watch:

1. [Family Guy](https://www.facebook.com/FamilyGuy "undefined")
2. [Tosh.0](https://www.facebook.com/toshpoint0 "undefined")
3. [House](https://www.facebook.com/House "undefined")

9. [Sons of Anarchy](https://www.facebook.com/SonsofAnarchy "undefined")
10. [MythBusters](https://www.facebook.com/MythBusters "undefined")
