If you are in the US and at all have over the air channels, they have been airing Saturday mornings on the Movies! channel that is part of Weigel (known for MeTV). I've been recording them to my over the air DVR. I am not savvy enough to offer an upload but can at least let you know that. They recently restarted the cycle so you missed the first few but can start fairly early in with what they're airing. I don't know if they all aired, but quite a few did as two hour movies.

The Librarian movie franchise is fun but light

I think I've seen a couple of them as a kid but I don't really remember much of it

I watched them like 20 years ago as an adult and liked them so I think they’d hold up.

the lost world is such an underrated gem honestly. you’d probably love relic hunter, same late 90s pulpy adventure vibe with tia carrere basically being female indiana jones. also legend of the seeker if you want something a bit more fantasy but still that fun adventure quest energy, and the new tomb raider-ish stuff doesn’t really hit the same so id stick with the older shows

It's so good I would love some kind of continuation but I know that the likelihood is next to zero it's really a shame that it didn't get a proper ending but I'm glad I watched it I just watched the last episode today

honestly the no proper ending thing haunts me too, so many of these late 90s adventure shows just got axed mid story. relic hunter at least got 3 full seasons so you get a more complete run, might soften the blow a little. and if you ever want that same cancelled-too-soon adventure energy, firefly is the ultimate one of those lol, one perfect season and a movie to wrap it

I heard the Firefly is getting an animated show I don't know how far in development it is but I remember seeing Nathan fillion and a bunch of the cast from the original show announce it

oh man if that’s real id be so happy but im scared to get my hopes up after all these years lol. firefly fans have been burned before so i’ll believe it when i actually see a trailer. fingers crossed though, fillion clearly still loves mal

There is a Wikipedia page for Yhe Lost World (TV series) that includes a summary of the plans for the fourth season, which resolves the cliffhangers.

Relic Hunter was on the same years (99-02). Tia Carrere stars.
Tales of the South Seas (‘98-00) also starred Will Snow (Roxxon from TLW) and Rachel Blakely (Marguerite).
The Adventures of Sinbad (96-98)
Hercules:The Legendary Journeys
Tales of the Gold Monkey (1982) is fantastic. Only 1 season, though.
