After decades of challenges with making the show available, there are, thankfully, now multiple ways to watch "WKRP in Cincinnati."

It depends where you are, of course. In the U.S., you can get it digitally from services including Amazon Prime, iTunes and Vudu. In Canada, your only digital option is iTunes.

There's also the DVD option. Individual seasons and a complete-series box set with (most of) the original music are now available for sale from most DVD retailers.

The 2019 British crime film, "The Gentlemen," was indeed a bit of a departure for Henry Golding, but it's now seeming like just the first step towards a more diverse film career.

Having burst onto the American film scene just a year earlier in the surprise hit romantic comedy, "Crazy Rich Asians," it suddenly seemed everyone wanted to be in the Henry Golding business.
