''Conan the Adventurer'', originally titled ''Conan'', was a live-action TV series that ran for one season in 1997 to 1998. A total of 22 episodes. The characters are loosely based on [[Robert E. Howard]]'s ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'' stories, with elements taken from the movie and other adaptations.
 
Not to be confused with the [[Conan the Adventurer (1992 TV series)|1992 animated series]], the [[Conan the Adventurer (comics)|1994 comic book series]], or the [[Conan the Adventurer (short story collection)|1966 short story collection]], all of which share the same name.

* [[Composite Character]]: Karella is based on Bêlit of the short stories and Valeria of the films.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Attempts to imitate the style of ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'' and ''[[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]]''.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Than the original ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]''.
* [[Lost in Imitation]]: Conan in ''[[Conan the Adventurer (TV)|Conan the Adventurer]]'' is based heavily on the character from the movies -- which had already altered the characterization from the original stories -- and adds further elements that separate it from the original stories, with Conan becoming Crom's Chosen One fighting the Evil Empire.
* [[Opening Narration]]: Explains Conan's backstory.
* [[Poor Man's Substitute]]: Thickly accented German bodybuilder Ralf Möller for thickly accented Austrian bodybuilder [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]].
* [[Virgin Power]]: One of ConansConan's many doomed love interests starts out a virgin warrior who can magically adorn herself with impenetrable armor and gain incredible strength and speed. She and Conan eventually fall in love and have sex. She later dies after being captured, because she couldn't do the armor thing anymore. At least he got laid that time?
