are. However, it is unlikely to go away as a narrative convention because the best way to show an investigator working out what happened in a mystery to an audience is to have him talk about it, and unless one goes for the FilmNoir convention of the monologuing detective, that requires giving the main character someone he can freely talk to about the case, and who better than another cop working the case?

Buddy cop shows often give a good deal of focus to the emotional lives and relationship of the two MainCharacters. Because of this, two tropes that this genre is strongly associated with are TheNotLoveInterest (where the plot focuses on the initial development of their relationship, typical of movies), and HeterosexualLifePartners or PlatonicLifePartners (where the plot focuses on a pre-existing relationship, typical of TV series and movie sequels). The buddies are often an OddCouple, occasionally [[SaltAndPepper one black and one white]]. In terms of personality, they tend to follow a distinct formula-one is a straight-laced stickler for protocol, the other is an unpredictable loose cannon. One ByTheBookCop, one CowboyCop. You get it. The primary thing keeping them together -- before CharacterDevelopment -- is that together, they fight crime. And they do it very, very well.
