Personal Life
Hodges is apparently an avid fan of the 1970s TV sitcom Three's Company, winning an online auction for a fictional Three's Company board game in the episode "Lab Rats". He is also apparently an aficionado of country-soul singer Willis; in the seventh season episode "Post Mortem" Hodges is seen dancing in the laboratory to a down-tempo cover of the song "Word Up!" while waiting for the results of a test.
In a season 5 episode,"Iced", Hodges is revealed to have a "genetic quirk" that allows someone to be able to smell if cyanide is present, and Doc Robbins uses this unique ability to test if two victims died of cyanide poisoning. While many people do have the ability to smell cyanide, Hodges's ability is more acute than most and appears to extend to other chemical compounds besides cyanide. This talent of his has been used on other cases like that of the dead elderly couple in "The Theory of Everything", to determine if cyanide had anything to do with their death.
Hodges is a go-kart enthusiast. Jujubes are his gummy candy of choice. Pistachios are his favorite nut because they are "easy to open".
Hodges has a cat named Kobayashi Maru, an apparent reference to the no-win training scenario administered to Star Fleet Academy students, as seen in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and the eleventh Star Trek film. He calls the cat "Mr. K" or "Kobe" in the seventh season episode "Monster in the Box".
In the episode "Wild Life" from season 11, Hodges confesses to Sara he is ornithophobic (afraid of birds).

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“He hadn’t known me fifteen minutes, and yet he was ... ready to talk ... I was still to learn that Munshin, like many people from the capital, could talk openly about his personal life while remaining a dream of espionage in his business operations.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
