Sadly, Peter Falk died this week. This means a lot of people are tweeting about Columbo. Instead of doing all the things I ought to be doing today like exercising, working on an upcoming project and feeding myself I wrote a Python script to find the most tweeted about Columbo episodes. Here are the results:
The script searches for the episode title in quotes plus the word Columbo (as episodes like “Undercover” and “Dead Weight” were returning a lot of false positives). I’ll stick the script on github later, first I have to get to the supermarket before it closes.
Update: Script is on github. It’s dead simple, probably could have just been a gist. I got the list of episodes from here. There are some sample results in the git project.
