Are there any movies or TV shows set in Cincinnati?

Cincinnati has a very active Film Commission, which is responsible for many movies being shot in the Greater Cincinnati area. Many of the movies filmed in the Cincinnati area are not necessarily set here, but there are some that use Cincinnati as more than just a filming location. Among some of the movies that have been, at least partially, set in Cincinnati are "Fresh Horses," "Rain Man," "Traffic," and "The Ides of March"; these movies were also filmed here, at least in part. As Natilady mentions, both the TV shows "WKRP in Cincinnati" and "Harry's Law" were set in Cincinnati, but other than location identification shots, no scenes were ever filmed here.
Of course there's my all time favorite WKRP in Cincinnati. The Tyler Davidson Fountain on Fountain Square is in the scene they show during the theme song.
There was also a recent legal drama called "Harry's Law," starring Cathy bates. I'm sure there are a few more.
A lot of movies were filmed in Cincinnati, Milk Money, Uptown in Harlem, that recent Clooney Movie and more.
