This is probably one of the very few situations in which I
wouldn't care if it was Jill Hennessey or Jack Klugman
performing the ministrations.(Not that I know who Jill is but
it seems a safe bet that she's more attractive than Jack
Klugman.) As to the question of why there are so many
attractive young female pathologists in TV/film I suspect
it's related to the reason that something like about 80%
(arbitrary figure) of serial killers in TV/film turn out to
be women (as opposed to less than 0.8% in real life). It
sells the shows - or someone thinks it sells. "Reality" only
seems to be marketable in "reality" TV shows where we can spy
on real people.
