The 100 finished 13th in last year's competition, the best it has done in four attempts, but given the popularity of The CW's teen drama you would be forgiven for expecting more from it. It's on a favourable side of the draw and so a semi-final berth is within the realms of possibility. It faces This Is Us today, with NBC's family drama making its debut in the competition. It's a surprise that it didn't make it last year when riding the high of a very successful first season, so it will be interesting to see how it fares after two years.
It's a second NBC debut of the day in our other poll, with The Good Place appearing for the first time. Contrary to This Is Us, Good Place was more likely to get in this year than last. It's rare for comedies to do especially well in this competition — the top 30 overall ranked shows in competition history are all dramas — but, like the series itself, today would be a good day to go against the curve. Its opponent, Deadwood, is rather amusing given how contrasting the two worlds — and the shows in general — are. Deadwood hasn't appeared since the first ever competition and its appearance here is owed, presumably, to the announcement of the impending movie.
