Trivia

The show premiered on the Disney Channel with Miranda as Bonker's partner and the supporting cast of Jitters, Fawn Deer, Grumbles and the Sergeant. When the show was moved to network, however, Bonkers' partner was Lucky Piquel, the character design and overall "look" of the show had become much darker and the supporting cast was Fallapart Rabbit, Toots the Horn and Chief Kanifky. Miranda makes a brief appearance behind a desk in one of these episodes and a reference is made to Bonkers having a blonde woman as a partner in another. Finally, after several episodes ran, Lucky left, Miranda became Bonkers' partner and they began running the Disney Channel episodes.

Officer Bonkers D. Bobcat: I'm really sorry, Lucky. I kinda forgot that toon parachutes only open on impact.
Detective Lucky Piquel: Forget it, Bonkers. It was fortunate I landed in that field of haystacks.
Officer Bonkers D. Bobcat: Yeah, too bad you didn't land *on* one, though. Ouchie, huh?

Not Bad!

My sister watches Playhouse Disney and the jokes they say come from Toon Disney. This is Toon Disney property. Bonkers is an officer who works for detective Lucky Piquel. Bonkers tells Merlin about how people do things. Bonkers did start out as an actor but his show was canceled and he became an officer. Lucky and his crazy wife Dyl don't get along very well.
