Python : How to get the highest key from dictionary and once it found get the key/value?

hey guys I have a dictionary shows:

Shows = {177.17: ['SELECT * FROM `breaking.bad` '], 190.16: ['SELECT * FROM `breaking.bad`'], 81.72: ['SELECT * FROM `mad.men`'], 74.36: ['SELECT * FROM `game.of.thrones`'], 74.37: ['SELECT * FROM `game.of.thrones`']}

here I have a list I want to match if those keys values occur:

list = ['breaking.bad','mad.men','game.of.thrones','the.mandalorian']

Currently what i want to achieve is once the list value matches with the list in the dictionary I get the highest value of those keys along with its value .

What I have done so far is this :

for key ,value in Shows.items():
    for lst in list:
        if lst in value and 'breaking.bad' in value and max(key) :
            print(lst)

Any ideas that can help achieve my goals?

Not the most efficient way, but loop over the "tables" first, then get the dictionary for each show and find the max

shows = {177.17: ['SELECT * FROM `breaking.bad` '], 190.16: ['SELECT * FROM `breaking.bad`'], 81.72: ['SELECT * FROM `mad.men`'], 74.36: ['SELECT * FROM `game.of.thrones`'], 74.37: ['SELECT * FROM `game.of.thrones`']}
tables = ['breaking.bad','mad.men','game.of.thrones','the.mandalorian']


for table in tables:  # don't name variables as list
    sub_shows = {key:value for key,value in shows.items() if any(table in v for v in value)}
    if sub_shows:  # max throws error if list is empty
        print(max(sub_shows), table)

Output

190.16 breaking.bad
81.72 mad.men
74.37 game.of.thrones

I question the use-case of having a list of only one item, or why you need SQL queries in your dictionary
