WTF Happened to The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles? (1992-1993)

- Flashback to 1989 and the release of INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE. One of the most buzzed about sections of the film was the opening act, which depicted River Phoenix as a younger version of Indiana Jones - giving George Lucas the idea of spinning it off into a TV series. In it, Indy would be played by three actors. There would be Corey Carrier playing him as a child, Sean Patrick Flanery as a teenager/young man, and finally an eyepatch wearing George Hall as the 93-year old elderly Indy.
While never a major ratings success, those of us who grew up in this era have fond memories of this Lucasfilm TV series, but how does it hold up? And what's with the new, re-edited Young Indiana Jones movies? What happened to the original shows with the bookends? Get all the info in the latest episode of Gone But Not Forgotten.

Hey folks!
If you want us to feature your forgotten TV show send us a email with your suggestions. We may feature it out n a future episode. Our suggestion email is GBNFSeries@gmail.com
3:46 - what indi's dad says here (believe it or not) is factually correct, and no, he is not a racist, he makes no attempt to justify the obvious immorality of slavery throughout history, he only suggests that it was a universal practice all over the world for thousands of years up until recent times, and he is correct.
@@jordanthomas4379 You are correct, in context to history, slavery abolitionist are relatively a product of western ideology. If you hate that then you muy at be against foreign history.
Harrison was in an episode. It was set in the 50's. I recall him bearded and driving in a chase scene with him and a Native American in ... New Mexico perhaps. I am positive... but then I have zero recollection of old man Indy bookends.
Looked it up and it was from the tv movie Young Indiana Jones wave the Mystery of the Blues.
Yes; I do know there was a Indiana Jones Chronicles show; but I have only seen part of 1 episode so I still do not know much about it.
Why were all the finer details of the first 3 Indian Jones films left out of the tv series?
Fun Fact: This show actually saved my life. I don't know what episode it was, but someone was bitten by a snake and had the two puncture marks on their neck. I was bitten by a tiger snake in tasmaina and knew it was a snake bite from seeing the episode a few weeks earlier. Thanks young Indy for saving my life though education. I owe ya one.
@SmithandJones256 I didn't see the snake nor noticed I was bitten until my leg started to get itchy and numb. Once I rolled up my pant leg, I saw the two dots and knew from watching the episode that I had been bitten by a snake.
@SmithandJones256 I was rushed to the hospital, put on life support and given anti venom. Then I survived and wrote about it on TH-cam.
@@SonicBroomHead Haha. Well done sir.
@@SonicBroomHead well that is one great story.
@@SonicBroomHead as i can plainly see you have survived and written about that attack ! good one sir ; who knew a series like this could actually save your life we need to keep shows like this alive i have some stories about working in stunts they may not be as adventurous as yours but i'd like to share stay tuned and be safe mate.
As an Indy lover and a history lover, this show was made for people like myself. Good for you for covering it!
Your welcome
-David-
But it's so funny how Indy bumped into famous historical figures through this series. I understand it was done for a quick history lesson, but not accurate most of the time.
This show needs more attention. Most people forgot about it.
Nah, buddy, it sucks.
@@emperorpalpatine6239 lot of people liked it
@@ShobeOfficial I wouldn't say many, considering that most Indiana fans have never heard of it. In my opinion, the show is very boring, it has some great ideas but the execution really suffers, especially in final episodes of season 2.
But not us
@@emperorpalpatine6239 Because most Indiana Jones fans only want something that's exactly like the old movies.
I think you have a rather stagnant view of character growth. Kids can bond with parents at one age, and feel neglect from them in another.
This series was awesome.
They literally show this in the series. Indy's relationship with his father grows much more strained after his mother dies.
The show was GREAT. They shot the thing on location! They took the crew to each different country. Think of that! For the time, it was making cinema quality stories for network television -in an age where everybody else using cardboard sets. It was gorgeous and brilliantly written. It was too good to last.
And I actually really appreciated the 10 year-old indy stories. The blatant moral messaging was deliberate, and it made perfect sense when you recognized that each story was framed by Old Man indy re-telling stories to young punks; they were on-purpose morality plays.
Removing Old Man Indy basically destroyed the pacing and blunted the otherwise brilliant narrative technique, (as you pointed out).
I don't even try to recommend Young Indiana Jones to people despite it being one of the best things ever to grace television, simply because the DVD editing castrated the whole thing. TYIJC was a moment in history, done and gone. If you missed it, tough.
I watched the new DVD edit and I loved it! Although it would be nice to see an older Indy.
The reviewer here deserves credit for recognizing the fuckery of re-editing the episodes and removing the book-end sections with Old Indy. These episodes should obviously be seen in the format each director originally intended. That is how they work best. Unfortunately George Lucas in his usual form could not resist meddling.
@@blixbelliose3206 The series wouldn't exist if not for George Lucas. He's the one who developed the scripts for each episode and selected the directors he wanted to film them. He was also the one who edited the original versions of the episodes--not the directors. In television the showrunner occupies the role the director usually does in feature films, and in this case the showrunner was Lucas. It's his show and it's his right to do what he wants with it.
I watched it for the first time in its edited form and I loved it. I later went back and watched the Old Indy segments on TH-cam and, while entertaining, they're incredibly cheesy and would have made the show feel very dated to the 90's. Without the bookends, the series feels more like a serious, continuous chronicle of Indy's life, and it remains timeless. I think the series would have remained even more obscure than it already is if it had been left in its original form.
@@nineleafclover Indeed were it not for Lucas the show would not exist, and were it not for Lucas the show that he created would still exist as he created it originally. Sadly now it does not, unless someone foresighted managed to tape all the original episodes from TV, and later digitalized them. That would have been so much better. Also lets not forget that Lucas is not infallible. He did place Star Wars in the hands of Kathleen Kennedy after all, and for a boat load of cash no less.
@@blixbelliose3206 I never said he was infallible. I was mainly disputing your contention that he had wronged the directors of the individual episodes in some way. It was never their intentions that took precedence. They would have known that. They were working on George Lucas's show.
River Phoenix was destined to play this role. Too bad he didn’t live long enough. RIP River Phoenix.
Ummm...no. This show was in 1992. River didn’t die until 1993 when he was 23. He had already played young Indy in the 1989 movie. Also he was too big of a star by that time. He was a movie star and hadn’t done TV since the late 70’s early 80’s.
@@ckotcher1 he was busy filming other things. Read my comment again!
Na mate doing tv in the 80s and 90s was a big step down for a movie star, especially someone as popular as Phoenix, he may have been in a new film, but never in this low grade show..
And you don't even mention him filming other things in your comment lol
Luvie1980 Luvie1980 really?! because I just read your comment...again and it clearly says “he was destined to play the roll, he didn’t live long enough”
GsterfunkGLA82 I know right? It’s like she didn’t read her own comment before writing that 🤦🏼♀️
6:04, the Greek episode with Indy and his father was meant to be an unusual event - something that Indy would look back on with fondness, even regret. He even tells his father (in the Winds of Change, I believe) that he missed seeing his father the way he was when they went to Greece because it was the only time that he can remember bonding with him. I think having experienced that bond once gives more impact on the distance that he felt the rest of his childhood.
As for being scared of snakes in the Africa episode - I was scared of things as a child that I wasn't as a teenager. It's entirely possible that he was scared of them at one point, overcame it, and then regressed after the Last Crusade Intro.
I do agree though, the Sean Patrick Flannery episodes were much more engaging. I do really enjoy the "baby Indy" episodes in Austria, Russia and Greece though. I've only seen the show as the repackaged VHS (and later DVD) versions. I really hope Disney/LucasFilm decides to rerelease them in their original format once the Indiana Jones 5 hype kicks in.
Indiana Jones 5 hype turned out to be mild at best, but a channel called Young Indy Restored did reconstruct the TV versions on TH-cam
I just binged this series. I agree with everything this video says. I overall loved it, and yes I think it should be brought back. Yes bring back Old Indy, he was a MAJOR part of what made that show so damned awesome. My personal favorite was when Indy learned to hunt fro Teddy Roosevelt, the theme of that episode was amazing and was relevant to the entiret of the rest of the show. However the one that ipressed me from a historical perspective the most was when Indy was the translator for the Treaty of Versailles; that episode was made in the 90s, and it perfectly showed how the Treaty of Versailles laid the grounds for WWII, the Vietnam War (by showing the little known historical fact that HoChiMinh was at the signing, and his countries request for freedom were literally thrown in the trash), and amazingly it showed the groundwork for the current war in Iraq, by showing the creation of the little known Picot-Sykes Agreement. Awesome show, it is hard to plod through, but worth it, and you can find the clips of Old Indy on TH-cam.
I also liked how he met Sophie the daughter of Franz Ferdinand and has a crush on her
I'm not going to lie, nothing about Crystal Skull contradicts Indy having a daughter on the TV show because, as I recall, he daughter is shown to be in her 40s in the show (meaning she was born in the 50s) and we're never told who her mother was so she could the product of some affair Indy had before he and Marian got married, or maybe he and Marian had a late in life daughter.
For anyone who was recommended this video recently there is a whole channel on TH-cam dedicated to the complete unedited Chronicles of Indiana Jones. Plus there is another channel that has most (not all) of the full episodes available.
I took the George Ball elder Indy to mean that the Holy Grail from the Last Crusade gave him longevity,if not immortality.
2022 Update: This wonderful show is now on Paramount+. Now, Lucas ain't perfect but I'm glad he took so much time, effort and money to make it. The reason being is my first child will be born in a few months and I'm really looking forward to watching this show with him once he's old enough to enjoy it.
It's scary how forgotten this series is, its really good. Very underated.
Ford did book end one episode The Mystery of the Blues which thankfully they did keep on the DVD. Thanks David, great memories of the show from one writer, editor to another.
Thank you! Also thanks for reading the credits
I remember being STUNNED when that episode aired and we got a Harrison Ford bookend.
Yeah I remember him in some mountain cabin with a beard playing the saxophone, which on paper sounds weird but Ford pulled it off.
It was a big deal back then, I remember..ABC advertised that Harrison Ford would be in an episode. And it was a great episode that dealt with Indy's love of jazz music.
Forget Chris Pratt bring Sean Patrick Flanery back to play Indy again.
Agreed!
Please
Im sure he still looks that young...
He is way too old now
No
This is the greatest show ever made and I will fight anyone who disagrees.
Come then bruh !
lol it was lame, one or two of the sean patrick flannery episodes were ok the rest was cringey trash
That show was garbage bruh.
I stand with you, Emily!
Really? It looks shitty
I loved those episodes with teenage Indi played by Sean Patrick Flanery. He was perfect for this role.
Hearing about the original cut with the old Indy framing device makes me regret that I didn't get the VHS Boxes back in the 90s.
An amusing thing you missed is that Paul Freeman (the actor who played Belloq) was the leader of the 25th Frontiersmen Battalion, Frederick Selous.
The entirety of this series is on TH-cam. It's also split into parts, so it's much easier to watch. I'm enjoying it.
To be fair, Henry Jones Sr. didn't really have the falling out with Indy until he was in his adolescence and his mother died. Their relationship before that did involve Sr. dragging Indy around from country to country and the gradual resentment and emotional distance that built up over time starts there. It doesn't culminate there. The bit with the snakes, yeah, that's valid. I think the writers were trying to remind viewers how Indy felt about snakes and ignored the internal logic of why.
This show was made a long time ago but I still want a season 4 that would take place between the end of season 3 until the events in Temple of Doom.
When they re-packaged the episodes they mashed two episodes together to make each 90 minute 'movie' and brought back the actors to shoot segue way sequences. Not so bad for Sean Michael Flannery, but the baby Indy scenes were often horrible. Carriere had grown so much between the ending of the series and the re-shoots that they had trouble matching anything. He goes from baby to adolescent and back to baby.
Yeah I was confused while watching it but now I get it
@@GG-qo4qo No. You can't say "segue way" because what you are actually saying is "seg-way way". Segue is two syllables. Not one.
I still own the original released early 1990's VHS tapes, featuring the old indy George Hall book ends.. They gave the series such heart each episode. :)
I always took what Indy said about his father relationship to have meant for the time after his mother had died
How was it useful for you? Have you also lost your mother? Or have you a bad relationship with your father?
@@max-eu2qi no to each
@@LeighMet then what was it?
Love this series. I really miss those individual episodes with the Old Indy bookends and Old Indy filling the viewer in on how it impacted history. Some of my favorite bookends was the art episode, which I really like a lot, because I'm an artist, and the Russian Revolution episode, where he was captured in a photograph becoming part of history. It really makes you wonder what your ancestors were doing when they were younger. I think I have all the shows on VHS still. Should see if I can get the bookends at a higher quality than on YT. The series was sold as entertainment disguised as an educational tool. Yeah, I could see what they were doing with some heavy handed stuff, but The Great War storyline was a watershed for the series and really made me interested in it more than WWII.
Harrison Ford was in ONE episode in the old Indy role. I think it was "Indiana Jones and the Secret of Jazz" or something like that. Also, there was one episode where he was telling the story, at his daughter's house, to his grandchildren.
Yeah he filmed that episode when he was on break from filming The Fugitive (this would have been 1992 or 93). That's why he has the beard in his scenes.
@@TheMrHavish I wondered about that actually. Thanks.
The Harrison Ford bookend was actually very good. I'd have loved to have seen more of Indiana Jones and the Adventure of the Peace Pipe.
He really did have a revolving door of women; his first ‘girlfriend’ was Duchess Sophie, daughter of Archduke Franz Ferdinand- the portrait in the locket that saved him in Africa.
I also recognised footage from at least one of the Middle Eastern Front eps, came from one of our Australian movies- I think it was ‘The Lighthorsemen’.
I found the ‘Dracula’ episode to be one of the sillier eps- when the war years were otherwise done really well.
And Indy’s confrontation with his dad in the later movie isn’t negated by TYIJC- one adventure doesn’t make up for years & decades of not being there, essentially ignoring your child- when they’d already been bereft of one parent.
The footage is from The Lighthorsemen similar to the Western front episodes using footage from the 70s version of All Quiet On The Western Front.
One of my all-time favourite shows. Brilliant, ambitious, well ahead of its time.
I love how passionately angry Narrator Jesse gets in this, haha. 😅
One of my fave TV series! I have them all on DVD, downloaded to my PC. Incredible educational series.
I actually love the Eye of The Peacock episode because Indy was actually treasure hunting
For anybody who doesn't believe Harrison Ford is a good actor remember he still around
His best performance was in bladerunner 2049.
Jeese Shade, your writing and delivery is second to none on this channel. It takes alot for me to laugh and your particular take and knowledge makes it work for me bud, thank you for keeping me from deep deep depression during this time in history
Hey so I don't want to disappoint you but I actually wrote the episode, I make a conscious effort to match Jesses sense of humor. Because I am a fan of his videos and I'm so lucky to have him as my narrator. But I'm glad my writing made you laugh
@@Arroyo2099 definitely I need to acknowledge you as well, thank you for letting me know it was a team effort!
I had dismissed these, but I revisited them a couple of years ago and was really impressed.
I just love this series with Sean Patrick Flanery. I love history - and the series is build up aorund history: 1 and second war etc. I have it on DVD the whole series...
I just the dvds. There still in print and affordable.
I've been saying this since Anthony Ingruber showed up on TH-cam. BRING BACK YOUNG INDIANA JONES! Harrison Ford could now play "Old Indy", and he gets a mysterious package that leads him on a journey with links to his past. This way, we can have Harrison Ford doing "Da Vinci Code" type thriller stuff, while the flashbacks would involve Anthony Ingruber, who would tackle the more traditional action/adventure part. We can also get to see Indy meet his classic friends.
Come on, LucasFilm... if you can make "The Mandalorian", you can make this series. Do it. DO IT! AND, GET FRANK DARABONT BACK!
Yeah, sure... Because Harrison Ford would be totally af*ford*able nowadays. LOL.
Ingruber is not an "actor". He is a look-alike doing a Harrison Ford impression.
@@Romans8-9 Okay, fine... whatever. Boo, Ingruber. Fuck him. "Some other guy who can really, really act, for real" can play the part. The point I was on about was that I think that Harrison Ford should have given up the fedora & whip a long time ago. The majority of the books, comics, and games that cover the adventures of Indy mainly take place when he's in his late 20's to mid-40's. They got River Phoenix to play a "younger" Indy, because it would be ridiculous for Harrison to play a 13 year old. I'm saying that the man is too old to be playing a 30 year old now, and that's when Indy's adventures take place, mainly.
I only mentioned Ingruber as an example, because I was trying to point out that fans are already more than willing to accept a new actor playing the roll. I grew up with "Raiders of the Lost Ark", just like I grew up with Roger Moore as James Bond. Other actors had played 007 before I started watching, and more have played him since.
@@CaptainRetroStation I agree with what you said as being a new take oj the series. Just not particularly a fan of Ingruber.
YO!! You forgot the amazing short documentaries that were made with each new “movie“ reedit of the three box set series. These were fantastic additions that more than make up for the loss of “old indie“ you keep lamenting. Watching the documentaries in context creates a homeschooling level education experience.
I loved this series as a kid. In particular the WW1 episodes.
Special effects from the Dracula episode aside, this series was essentially a testbed for digital special effects and other aspects of digital filmmaking. www.theraider.net/films/young_indy/making_4_specialeffects.php
You also left out -- which is OK -- that Nicolas Roeg, Mike Newell, Joe Johnston, and other well-known people directed episodes, and Frank Darabont wrote some, as well.
This series is also where George Lucas and Rick McCallum linked up, leading to McCallum's prinicipalship during the Star Wars prequels, for better or worse.
I was so in love with River Phoenix who played young Indy in the 3rd movie AND Sean Patrick Flannery who looked exactly like my boyfriend at the time ❤️
Indy's father was Bond, him fighting Bond is nothing special!
had the whole series on VHS
should have kept it.
I remember watch this on Sunday mornings, before Tia Carrere's Archaeologist show (I know the title on my language but not sure if they directly translated it from English). And then I had Kommissar Rex in the evenings. Early 2000's where a good time.
Relic Hunter?! I loved that show!
You forgot the MOST amazing cameo when The God Emperor of the Universe, Emperor Palpatine, the great SITH lord played by Ian McDiarmid was in the show at 7:10
I liked Solo. It wasn't my Han Solo, but it was a fun heist movie set in the Star Wars Universe.
2:26 Julian Fellowes writer of Gosford Park and creator of Downton Abbey......holy shit you can see Hurley's knickers !
That's so true about parents being mad about the violence. I remember my dad turning off one of the war episodes and not letting us watch it again.
Man I totally forgot about this show but had them all on VHS and loved it as a kid.
Young Indiana Jones with Sean Patrick Flannery was a cool show. Met him in wetumpka, al while he was in a movie called grass harp. Cool dude!
The break for commercial was a perfectly cut scream. *Chef's kiss*
I recorded the episodes back in the 90s and one thing particular annoys me. In the German East Africa 1916 episode the actor playing Barthelmy had a wonderful accent and voice that was subsequently dubbed over in the DVD release. Also, I actually worked with the actor Steve Michael Ayers, who played rocket scientist Robert Goddard at a regional theatre. I will forever love Young Indy. I still have my trading cards.
I never forgot this, I loved this show.
This show is fantastic, even after the re-edits, though I wish we could get the originals because that’s what I remember watching as a kid. You didn’t mention two of my favorite episodes. When Indy is a POW in the camp and then is sent to the castle in Germany. And then the absolute best episode Young Indiana Jones and the Treasurs of the Peacocks Eye! That is a great film to watch before watching the trilogy, if you watch it chronologically.
I've just started a channel where I restore the series to how it originally aired. I'm releasing them on my youtube channel: th-cam.com/channels/aeMV8OeMJZz2zl7YpHTj1Q.html
That’s awesome! Thank you!
Thank you! ITA that it’s a travesty that the Old Indy bookends were removed! The whole meaning and reason for each story are contained in the bookends.
For example, the episode you mention about the boy who grew up to be president of the Central African Republic was really about Indy learning humanist life-affirming philosophy from Albert Schweitzer, hence his rescue of the boy. But it takes on even greater meaning in the bookends because Old Indy is in an ER when a young boy is brought in with a gunshot wound, and a doctor comes out and asks if anyone can donate blood for the boy’s rare blood type. The guy next to Indy has the type but doesn’t want to donate because he’s a racist and makes disparaging remarks about the boy, who happens to be African American. Old Indy then launched into his story about meeting Albert Schweitzer. At the end, the man is chastened by Indy’s story and donates his blood and saves the boy’s life, the boy he was saying earlier was “worthless”. It’s in my mind the most moving episode because I still get weepy just thinking about it, as I am right now as I write about it!
I taped the series on my VCR. I have all of the episodes, but one got messed up because the episode ran longer than my trimmer was set for so I lost part of it. But most important is that I was able to capture the bookends of the show! I need to locate the tapes and dub them onto DVDs.
Part of the re-edit had to do with a re-airing on either A&E or History Channel because they showed mini-docs about the episodes’ historical context and got rid of Old Indy. It really dumbed down the series by not letting it speak for itself and imposing the mini-docs. I think the DVD set has those mini-docs. I never bought them because of editing out Old Indy. It would be nice to have a restored edition be released. Until then, I have my tapes!
I've been hoping for ages that instead of making another Indiana film with Harrison Ford, that Sean Patrick Flanery could be brought on to reprise the role and reboot the film series. Thoughts?
I loved this show. This is the show that made me name my son Indiana (not the movies). I agree about the old Indy bookends, which also included narration at the beginnings and endings of the episodes that put everything in historical context, particularly in the episode about the Russian Revolution, where he's looking at photos in a museum and ends with "See that figure there? That would be me." Such a great show. What hurt the ratings was that it wasn't the balls-out action that people expected (Lucas said that it was more like Howard's End than Raiders Of The Lost Ark). But I think this is one of the all-time greatest shows ever made, hands down.
This was freaking hilarious. And I agree with you on everything. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching check out previous episodes
One of my favorite tv show. Please Disney + remake and air the old Episodes. As well as Guy Williams's Zorro.
Just borrowed the first volume of the DVDs from my library. I’ve always been a big Indy fan and I’m excited to dig into the series.
ITS BACK. I’ve never heard of this show but it’s out on Disney+ right now
I know some people look at it as being lame or bad. But I actually like the special effects from the late 80's/early 90's. Shows like War of the Worlds, Sliders, Captain Powers and Young Indiana Jones are nostalgic are to me. I can watch them over and over again.
The biggest reason I believe this show failed to maintain an audience - it was originally aired out of chronological order. It just didn't work jumping back and forth the way it did. The best thing about the re-edited versions is that they correct that issue and even filmed new scenes to bridge the stories. As for Old Indy, I can take or leave it. All of the bookends are on TH-cam, for free.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 your videos are some of my favorites Jesse!!!! I love your sense of humor 🖤💁🏻♀️!!!!
I’m pretty lucky that Jesse and I have a similar sense of humor which is why he’s the perfect narrator for the show
It really bums me out they haven't done a proper DVD release of these and that it's difficult to find them streaming. I was lucky enough to be able to watch them on Amazon and I was blown away at the production values and the quality of the stories especially for the era. Hopefully they'll get put up somewhere
There is a DVD release on Amazon.
So because we saw one scene where father and son bond it automatically discounts what Indiana Jones says about his father 30 years later?
Loved this series and how it educated kids on history too
I forgot all about this one, thanks for bring it back up. And also, give Solo another try, I found that when I'm not upset with the rest of what happened to star wars, Solo was a fun popcorn flick.
The show was absolutely amazing. Stunning cinematography and learning history was never so much fun 🥰
Daniel Craig would star with Harrison Ford in the awful Cowboys Vs Aliens.
Awful? Not a masterpiece but totally okay ffs
@@MLdoktor calm down is only my opinion.
@@leejones8582 😍
As far as their rift when it came to bonding it's not uncommon for parents and children to become more distant in their teenage and early adult years. It's entirely possible a rift like that could have happened as Indy's father became more obsessed with the Grail
Partially filmed here in Wilmington, NC. I'm in the first few scenes. You can't miss me... I'm three times wider than every other kid... :)
Timestamp?
@@Brandon.S.Brooker Episode 1 0:00
We're literally the first scenes when Indy's 10. I'm also the pitcher.
I loved that series! I was a teenager when it ran.. really captivated me. I don’t remember the ending, maybe it is a good thing….
i remember this show as a kid. my friend's mom would tape it and my friend and i would watch it the next day. i can't really remember any episodes but i remember it was pretty good.
I agree that the younger Indy episodes worked better as single episodes as they were very episodic and their morality plays functioned better in shorter stories. But also because they jump around in time more. There's one movie where Cory Carrier goes from being 13 to 11 because they spliced together two episodes shot out of order. The more epic WWI stuff with Sean Patrick Flannery works pretty well as films because the scope is larger. I do miss George Hall as Old Indy, though, the same way I miss Sebastian Shaw as Old Anakin. Seems like George doesn't like actual old versions of his characters as they seem to get younger because he focuses on prequels or he revises their stories to omit their aging. The DVD sets contain beautiful packaging and extensive special features, but I do wish they'd included "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" (televised version) and "The Young Indiana Jones Adventures" (the edited version) together for viewers to choose which one. But after the Special Editions, I've come to realise that Lucas is a revisionist and doesn't want to preserve the history of his own work or how it was presented.
Loved this series as a kid, but it really hasn't aged as well as it could have. Oh, and Harrison Ford did make one book end appearance in the episode The Mystery of the Blues.
Playing the saxophone with Felix Leiter
Even as a kid couldnt get into this. Reminded me of Anne of Green Gables in a thinly veiled Indy skin.
Solo is an awesome movie.
absolutely loved the scandal of 1920 episodes ... in the bookend Indi actually meets the girl again by chance!
Totally agree with your review - some of the Indy child episodes verge on silly and dull, but it improves a huge amount with teenage Indy, who spies, lies, cheats and scams his way into heavy duty trouble and tries hilariously to resolves his problems and come out a hero!!! The entire series is certainly well worth watching - and loads better than a lot of TV shit these days! The locations are brilliant, acting is good, scripts are good and the action is really great - many of the later episodes are total gold.
My favorite episode was the one where Indy was shaking his ass in front of a theater. Okay it isn't my favorite episode, but that episode was really funny to me just for the sheer ridiculousness of Indy was doing the whole time. Imaging Harrison Ford doing something like that is both terrifying and hilarious.
I loved that show as kid, sweet memories
Thank you for this emotionally charged review. I am sick today and needed a pick-me-up!
I remember catching a few episodes and thinking it was uneven and wondered why it was so hard to find. 1 episode always stuck with me though, it was called Paris October 1916 and in it Indy has an affair with Mata Hari. I was kinda shocked by the love scenes since I thought it was a kid’s show. Turns out it was written by Carrie Fisher and directed by Nicolas Roeg (walkabout, Don’t Look Now, The man who fell to earth, the witches).
Great flashback, thanx!!!
Loved this show, used to watch it on tv every Saturday
I seen a few episodes of this show. Some episodes are amazing, full of action and excitement. My favorite episode is “German East Africa, December 1916”. My problem with the show is in one episode Indy is a soldier fighting in the African Front, then in the next episode he a soldier fighting in the Western Front and then in the next episode he a soldier fighting in the Middle East Front. Things like that keep happening back and forth throughout the show
By the way can I just say if u watch the episode princeton 1919 that's when their father and son relationship goes down the drain because indys dad dosent care that he came back from the war and dosent help indy out with college at all
So maybe before making stupid accusations on small things u should actually do the research
It's a pity folk like you will only remember Sean Connery for only one thing.
He was in Zardoz. He can get behind it.
I remember this as a early teen. I actually have these sets on dvd boxsets still. And my kids and I watched this a couple months ago
The dvd sets are still in print and I just bought them
This show affected me as a kid. I wanted to be Indiana Jones so badly. I agree that the old Indy bookends made the show though. It was important to show that he was just a man, that it was just a life, and that people's lives are full of adventures.
But no one could ever have a life like he did. Meeting Teddy Roosevelt one day, then Pancho Villa another day, then meet Picasso, lol. It's just a TV show, don't take it too seriously. But it was a very entertaining show, I enjoyed it.
It would be amazing if Disney could make another series like this depending on what they do with Indiana Jones in the future, but considering how Star Wars has turned out that is a long shot. However if they approached the property like they did with the Mandalorian I think they could make one of their best series ever.
Well considering the new movie is having phoebe waller bridge travel through time and replace indy in all of his legendary adventures effectively erasing him and making her the real hero. You know, because women are better at everything and far more interesting and believable as action stars. There won't be a reboot of this show.
@@brandocalrissian3294 She doesn't replace him.
I lived in the bush in alaska. Never saw nor heard of this t.v. series! Flew out to seattle and anchorage to see the movies. Had a fedora, leather jacket. And yes somewhere my kids found a real whip for me. So how did I miss these shows? Thanks for the info!
NOW SILLY GUY, this is one of the best shows performed by a kid ever. For those days standards, nothing is close to it. Home alone, a fluke. And Picasso episode, if you know about him, you really appreciate how much effort the director or writer put into know those characters. Of course, its fiction, but good fiction. Kids in a bordello? It was 1920 man
Great video
Absolutely loved this show - and as "must see" for me, a pain in the ass when they kept moving it all over the schedule. Really wish they didn't remove the "Old Indy" bookends when they repackaged them as two-hour "movies" comprised of two episodes apiece. The additional connecting footage filmed for some of those with a much older Corey Carrier are laughable for how he tries to look physically younger, but you can see his legs scrunched beneath the table massively awkwardly.
But when it works, it works amazingly. My favorites are the Normal Rockwell episode (don't care what you say about it), the Gershwin episode, and the Verdun episodes.
I have the first two volumes on dvd. Really enjoyed the war years
They should totally bring this back on Disney+.
Just need to find the right actor to play young Indy again.
I completely agree with you. When they cut out old Indiana Jones from the later release that was a major mistake.
