Some years ago I owned VHS copies of several of the episodes from the YOUNG INDIANA JONES CHRONICLES. These were created by George Lucas and produced during the early 1990s. As the name suggests they featured the adventures of Indiana Jones during the early years of the twentieth century. Young Indiana Jones was portrayed by Sean Patrick Flanery, and the stories were action adventures that put Young 'Indi' at the heart of many important events.
My VHS tapes were passed on to charity shops some time ago, and in retrospect I realised that I wished that I had kept them in some format that I could still view. A quick search on the Internet revealed that I could buy the entire boxed series of DVDs for what it would cost me to buy the individual episodes that I had previously owned ... so I bought the lot!
The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Volume 1
This volume contains 12 DVDs:
This volume contains 9 DVDs:
This volume contains 10 DVDs:
This entire boxed series of DVDs was not cheap ... but I think that I got value for my money!

Oh, nice! I used to watch those when they originally aired.
ReplyDeleteJust so you aren't thrown by it, but in that first volume Indy is a 10-12 year old kid. IIRC I completely hated those episodes because of that. YMMV.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite episodes of the series are the ones on "The War Years" DVD.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they ever released the entire series on VHS, at least I was never able to get them and was shopping at a pretty good video store.

That's a lot of viewing hours Bob, hope you can paint as you view!
ReplyDeleteFitz-Badger,
ReplyDeleteI watched some on cable TV years ago and I am looking forward to watching them all later this year.
All the best,
Bob
SAROE,
ReplyDeleteThanks for that information. I might well avoid those episodes.
All the best,
Bob
Elderac,
ReplyDeleteIt was the 'War Years' episodes that I have seen ... and enjoyed.
I think that you are right. I have only seen the whole series in DVD format.
All the best,
Bob
Jim Duncan,
ReplyDeleteI can - and will - learn to do both!
All the best,
Bob
Now there's something I've been meaning to watch again. I have confused memories of this from my childhood.
ReplyDeleteMy reaction is based on when they aired on TV. They might be OK to me know. Possibly be a product of the "Robin the Boy Wonder Effect".
ReplyDeleteThat is, you hate Robin because, while you might GROW-UP to be Batman; Robin is your age and already fighting crime, while you sit on the couch.
So, super young Indy was showing me up, but if WWI broke out again, I could have cool adventures when I turned 18.
Re:the child Indy episodes - The only episodes of this series that I've seen have been a couple of the first set, with him as a child accompanying his parents on a Grand Tour. I didn't think they were too bad, certainly not enough to want to skip them.
ReplyDeleteI've only seen a dozen or so episodes but really enjoyed them and must think about acquiring the full set
ReplyDelete.
The ones in the Belgian army in Africa stick out and his encounter with the Suffragette and Churchill
Deeds not Words!
Arquinsiel,
ReplyDeleteIt might be worth getting hold of the DVDs and watching them again in sequence. This is what I plan to do.
All the best,
Bob
SAROE,
ReplyDeletePoint taken!
I will probably watch them in sequence after all.
All the best,
Bob
Dr Vesuvius,
ReplyDeleteHaving read the various comments that have been made, watching them in sequence makes sense.
All the best,
Bob
Ross Mac,
ReplyDeleteMy favourite episode was the one set in East Africa,.
All the best,
Bob
