如何过滤字符串列表中的关键字？

我有一个字符串列表，这些字符串是我使用BeautifulSoup抓取的链接。我无法弄清楚如何仅返回包含单词“ The”的字符串。该解决方案可能使用Regex，但对我不起作用。

我试过了

for i in links_list:
     if re.match('^The', i) is not None:
        eps_only.append(i)

但我收到类似的错误

File "/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniconda/base/lib/python3.8/re.py", line 191, in match
    return _compile(pattern, flags).match(string)
TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object

该列表如下所示：

['index.html', 'seinfeld-scripts.html', 'episodes_oveview.html', 'seinfeld-characters.html', 'buy-seinfeld.html', 'http://addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&username=doctoroids', None, None, None, None, 'http://community.seinfeldscripts.com', 'buy-seinfeld.html', 'seinfeld-t-shirt.html', 'seinfeld-dvd.html', 'episodes_oveview.html', 'alpha.html', '    http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=439896&b=119192&m=16934&afftrack=seinfeldScriptsTop&urllink=search%2E80stees%2Ecom%2F%3Fcategory%3D80s%2BTV%26i%3D1%26theme%3DSeinfeld%26u1%3Dcategory%26u2%3Dtheme', ' TheSeinfeldChronicles.htm', ' TheStakeout.htm', ' TheRobbery.htm', ' MaleUnbonding.htm', ' TheStockTip.htm', ' TheExGirlfriend.htm', ' ThePonyRemark.htm', ' TheJacket.htm', ' ThePhoneMessage.htm', ' TheApartment.htm', ' TheStatue.htm', ' TheRevenge.htm', ' TheHeartAttack.htm', ' TheDeal.htm', ' TheBabyShower.htm', ' TheChineseRestaurant.htm', ' TheBusboy.htm', 'TheNote.html', ' TheTruth.htm', 'ThePen.html', ' TheDog.htm', ' TheLibrary.htm', ' TheParkingGarage.htm', 'TheCafe.html', ' TheTape.htm', 'TheNoseJob.html', 'TheStranded.html', ...]
