I'm looking for movies and TV shows about Indiana Jones-style "archaeologists" or relic hunters (it sounds nicer than "grave robbers," and "tomb raiders" might get me sued), especially period pieces. Contemporary settings are okay, too, though. Also, any period pieces with a similar sort of feel, which, unfortunately, I've been having a heck of a time putting into words. That "Saturday matinee classic adventure" flavor, deserts and jungles practically essential, quality not necessarily required. Here's my running list thus far, which might help:

Movies:

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
Lara Croft, Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life

The Mummy
The Mummy Returns

Non-relic hunter adventures might include She (any version, though I like the Helen Gahagan/Randolph Scott one), King Solomon's Mines, The Man Who Would Be King, Hidalgo... others?


Television

Relic Hunter

The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles

Adventure, Inc (?- I never saw it, but it sounds like the type. Anyone know for sure?)

Veritas: The Quest (?- haven't seen it yet, but soon. Again, it sounds right, but I don't know)

Any other suggestions? Please? Thanks!


And when was Heath Ledger on Leno talking about Brokeback Mountain? I missed that entirely. Though actually I don't get Leno, so no big loss, plus it sounds like Jay was being annoying. Heath, though, sounds pretty darned cute.

From the Futon Critic:

"The 'Love And Games' episode of [Century City] has been rescheduled for Saturday, March 27 at 10:00/9:00c. Said installment was previously set to air last Saturday however the network's coverage of the Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament ran long and pre-empted the broadcast." But isn't there basketball on this Saturday too? Am I nuts to think there's a good chance the same thing will happen again and we'll never see this episode? It's not guaranteed that it'll get bumped twice, I suppose, but aren't the odds pretty good?

Whatever. This Saturday at ten, Lukas battles baseball on behalf of bionic players everywhere. Or not. rassum frassum basketball...
