Why, yes, you've run rings around her logically.  

Sigh.  God, save us from the literalists.

I don't "watch" "The Parkers," but I've seen enough of it in channel
surfing to have a good sense of its quality, or tremendous lack
thereof.

Likewise, you can flip through an issue on the stands every once in a
while to see how a title is going.  Assuming you have an adult-level
reading speed, a minute or two should be enough to tell if you like
it.  Or, you can buy an issue here or there, but not follow it
regularly.

I wouldn't say I read Batgirl, but from skimming it on the stands, I
know damned well I think it sucks.

I don't know the specifics of Johanna's reading or buying habits well
enough, but trying to invalidate her opinion with a comment like that
is just silly.

Hal.
