One reason that Leno got killed in the ratings at 10 P.M. is that the show was really bad. But bad shows have succeeded on TV before. Leno also faced a new ______2_____.

So Leno at 10 wasn’t just up against ______4_____ network programming. Thanks to consumer technology, he ______5_____ millions of people’s personal programming options, too.
