Funny Lady or Ms. Stanley, I presume

One of the wittiest reviewers out there is the NY Times’ Alessandra Stanley on Television. Here’s how she began her review of HBO’s “In Treatment”:

Some things sound simply awful: a family reunion holiday cruise, an
all-you-can-eat haggis buffet, a television series set entirely in a
psychotherapist’s office.

Stanley goes on to praise the show — but her quips continue. I seem to recall meeting her at a party a decade or two ago when she was covering the wars in Central America for Time. She told a hilarious story about the scene in the lobby of the Nicaragua Hilton. Anyhow, applying her intelligence to covering TV continues to yield inspired results. I’m still laughing about the “all-you-can-eat haggis buffet.”
