* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Bonkers is a constant source of irritation and embarrassment for him, but he admits in "Gone Bonkers" that he'd actually miss him and considers him fun to be around.



* FriendToAllChildren: Surprisingly so. He rather effortlessly got a lost child in "Stand-in Dad" to stop crying and write down his address by being such a friendly authority figure.

** "Weather or Not": while he congratulates the boys for solving the case to the point of saying it'd warrant a promotion, he also reminds Lucky that he explicitly forbid him from pursuing the case and is well-within his rights to suspend him for it. (He lets Lucky off the hook, which he figures is a fair trade-off between both extremes.)

Detective Lucky Shirley Piquel is Bonkers' partner from the "Lucky Episodes". He is a slovenly, morbidly obese, street-wise mustachioed man. He is balding, but wears a toupée. Lucky is a serious, hard-boiled detective whose by-the-book nature is at odds with Bonkers' decidedly more maniacal approach to crime solving.
