I have been wanting to categorize the episodes by keywords, so you can put them into Excel or something and anal-yze how many of a particular keyword there are in a season or the whole series. Here is what I have come up with Season One. What do you think about these? The keywords should be short, no more than two words each.
The expression "internal affairs" does not really work with Five-O, because it is a unit unto itself and not beholden to HPD. Typically if there was an "internal affairs" issue with Five-O, Manicote or someone like him would get involved. I am curious to know if "internal affairs" were featured on any other classic cop shows. They are popping up in Kojak all the time. This investigative branch with the Los Angeles police department started in 1949, so I am sure other "real" police departments followed suit.

002 could be Hawaiian nationalism and over development,
004 could be mobsters (organized crime), Race relations and History,
017 could also include Psycho
019 could also include "off islands"
023 could also include Hawaiian nationalism and over developmentIt would be neat to see how the mix changes over the 12 seasons, as you mentioned in some quick Excel spreadsheet
