I think she's more attractive now than she was then. One oddity about that series (which was her first ever job iirc), was that she went through a pregnancy early on in the series, and they had to work around that. She began to show late in season one, then just ballooned during season two, then slimmed back down by about midway through season three.
As far as the show goes, it's had a lot of influence, including the spread of serialized storytelling. While it was a monster-of-the-week kind of show (based on Kolchak: The Night Stalker in the 70s) it had an arc that ran throughout all 9 season, often with multipart episodes - those are basically all I'm watching now. And I believe it's directly responsible for the growth of interest in the paranormal from the 90s right up to this very day. While I had an interest myself in that kind of stuff prior to 1993 (read a lot of books when I was a kid...), I know it had a huge influence on me, personally.
