An easy way to describe Relic Hunter, which lasted three seasons in syndication, is to take note of the title character, Sydney Fox (Tia Carrere, "Wayne's World"), as a female version of Indiana Jones.
Both characters were college professors who also spent time traveling the world in search of specific artifacts. While there hasn't been a movie spun off from Relic Hunter, the opportunity was there if the series had attracted more viewers, but perhaps the producers were cognizant of the fact that the comparisons to the Indiana Jones movies would also be there.
Locally, Relic Hunter aired on Saturday afternoons and at night. Unfortunately, no one has seen fit to bring the series back since it ended, absent a stint on El Rey Network a while back.
Following is the 1st season intro. The theme music is so cool.
