Well, but she had to see him thrash to make sure it made the right pattern of splash marks!

Or maybe there’s just not much overlap between people who watch The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries and the fandom audience the Sherlock articles were written for.
One problem with trying to use the audiences of different shows for a comparison is that someone curious can't-- not without being sorely short of ethics, anyway-- force a random slice of the population to watch X and Y show. All the audiences are both self-selected and strongly influenced by how the show is marketed. I'd expect shows that are honest about their unusual characters to have fewer but more positive reviews.
Also, fandom has many mechanisms to introduce us to women-centered shows neglected by more mainstream channels/advertising, and we're very good at categorizing which kinds of canons we're reccing. I... think I could more comfortably say someone in LJ/DW-based fandom has rejected a character type like Mrs. Bradley than I could for a random guy on the street, because random guy is more likely to have never run across a character like her before. Rejection first requires attempted exposure. Woe for all the snarky, socially do-not-give-fucks, borderline sociopathic women unloved because they haven't been met ;___;
