0415 - McBabe

Added 2025-02-10 09:00:08 +0000 UTC

McBabe (unnamed in the actual episode) shows up at the end of McBain for a couple of lines and a smooch. I assume she has been a presence throughout the actual movie and this isn't her first time in the movie. That would be weird.

She does not ever appear in the show again, but nine years later she does get a trading card, featuring all the trivia you would ever need about her (including the actress's name: Clara Hosenfrauen.)

Seems a lot of leeway was given to these trading cards, with far more (non-canon) information featured here than in the show for super obscure characters like this one. Were people crying out for more McBabe content in 2001, when this card set was released? I'm not complaining, I love it - now whenever you watch this minor scene you can think about how the actress used to be in a Swedish sitcom. It's useless information, but it'll make you smile for a moment.
