Psych's performance last year was astounding, not just because it finished second at the first attempt, but because it was its first appearance in the competition. It seems inexplicable that it required the impending release of a movie — compared to four years where the series was airing weekly episodes — to make its debut here, and that it could dominate in doing so. Previous runners-up haven't always done well the following year, but the USA Network series has a good chance. Charmed didn't feature last year but did once, in 2013, make the semi-finals. Whether the existence of a rebooted version, coming next month, will aid it here will be interesting to see. It has reached every round in the competition except for the final so far, too.
Legends of Tomorrow makes its first appearance today, the only of the four CW-DC series to not debut in its first eligible year. Now that the show is three seasons old, it's hard to say just how well it will do here. Certainly, its opponent today isn't too intimidating: Gossip Girl has crashed out in the first round in each of its four appearances. Last year, it finished 63rd, losing to eventual winner Person of Interest.
