I found it very entertaining seeing Indy growing up and going around the world with his parents and teacher. I did like the older Indy though with his adventures more not that I want to sound like I'm disliking the younger Indy but it was obvious that Sean Patrick Flannery was the better Indy in my view. I felt it was nice being able to see how Indy's mother was like as well as his father before her death. As stated the set has mostly the 10 year old Indy adventures for the most part you only get two episodes of the older Indy after he leaves the U.S. and starts his adventures. I also like how the sets give such a detail information on what started the first world war and the events during and after it ended. I feel to many people mostly in the schools seem to disregard teaching about this war or ignoring talking about and mostly focus on the second world war it seems. The video is excellent as with all three sets as well as the audio the extras again or incredible as well. The one thing though if anyone saw this series when it was shown on ABC is that you won't get the Old Indy narrating during the episode as those parts were cut out and while that is somewhat disappointing it doesn't really take anything away to much from this set. So I say again to all Indiana Jones fans complete your collection today and get these incredible sets while you can...

I think what we have here is VHS versions. Not the TV episodes.
Heres a copy from wikipedia of what I found.
[edit] Home video re-edits
The revised and updated edition of the book George Lucas The Creative Impulse, by Charles Champlin, explains how The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles series would be re-edited into the new structure of twenty-two Chapter TV films, for the 1999 VHS release. New footage was shot in 1996 to be incorporated with the newly re-edited and re-titled "chapters" to better help it chronologically and provide smooth transitions. The newly shot Tangiers, 1908 was joined with Egypt, 1908 from the Curse of the Jackal to form My First Adventure, and Morocco, 1917 was joined with Northern Italy, 1918 (now re-dated as 1917) to form Tales of Innocence. Also included in the home video release were four unaired episodes made for the ABC network, Florence, May 1908, Prague, 1917, Transylvania, 1918, and Palestine, 1917.
The 93-year-old Indy bookends for the original series were removed, as well as Sean Patrick Flanery's bookend for Travels With Father. However, the Harrison Ford bookend, set in '50s, from The Mystery of The Blues was not cut.[5]
However George Lucas needs to start putting version numbers on his films so we can tell them apart.
I feel that this is a inferior version of this series. I will not buy any more of the volumes until they release the TV versions.
On top of that I hate Paramount DVD cases. I have to remove a disk to get to another. That really bites, and causes accidental scratches. Some of the Star Trek movies have theses cases.
Paramount when will you ever learn.
Also:
I would not mind paying the high prices if this set contained the TV versions.

I never saw "Young Indy" on broadcast, so I really can't compare it to the original. Like others, I wish the sets weren't so expensive, but I find TONS of quality in the shows. Even as an adult I have a hard time "getting" history, but Indy makes it easy! I have thoroughly enjoyed both the shows and the accompanying historical documentaries, and all parts, including the extras, have been subtitled. Thanks Mr. Lucas!!

First of all let me say that I personally feel that this whole series is phenomenal, but like many others have said "The Price Is Outrageous" especially when you think of how cheap the packaging is. Secondly I have a theory that I think many, if not all of you will agree upon: There is no doubt in my mind that Lucas will re-release the complete series minus the Bonus Features for a considerably lower price. I must say that I would recommend waiting to see if this series will be re-packaged without the Bonus Features much like the Star Wars Trilogy was re-released, but hey, It's your money do what you like with it.

Brother can you spare a week or two? That's about how long it's going to take you to get through this massive 12 disc boxed set, the first of three volumes showcasing the adventures of Young Indiana Jones. This show, originally broadcast on ABC from 1992 - 1993, and then later on the USA network, was one of the most ambitious television shows in history. Indiana Jones creator, George Lucas served as the series' Executive Producer and also wrote the bulk of the episodes. This was also one of the most expensive shows to produce as it was shot on location all around the world. The series is also one of the more complicated in terms of its chronology and production.
First, episodes featured two different Young Indy's...there was Corey Carrier who played the character at approximately nine or ten years old, and then Sean Patrick Flanery who played Indy in his older teens and early 20's. Complicating matters was that the show was not presented chronologically. One week may be the younger Indy and the next, the older Indy. Now here's where it really gets interesting...a number of hour long episodes were pieced together to make a feature length film such as Young Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Jackal in which the first half of the film feature Corey Carrier and the second half continues the story (Chronologically 8 years later) with the older Indy. HOWEVER, the DVD set is not piecing them together in the same way. The DVD set is presenting seven feature-length episode (two TV episodes) but doing it in more of a timeline/geographic order. (I told you it was complicated). They also renamed these episodes. Thus, the first Episode titled "My First Adventure" finds 9 year old Indy on the trail of a stolen Egyptian artifact but in the second half, he is now in Morocco being kidnapped by slavers and noticeably a bit older by a year or so.
Indy's father is played by George Hall who sounds remarkably like Sean Connery. Henry Sr. has been asked to speak all over the world and takes his wife and young son with him on his journeys. Thus begins a life of adventure and archaeology! Throughout the series, Young Indy would frequently meet famous historical figures. In the opening episode, he meets British officer T.E. Lawrence (Of Lawrence of Arabia fame) as well as archaeologist Howard Carter, still several years away from finding King Tut's tomb. The Second episode, "Passion for Life" pairs original episodes "British East Africa" and "Paris" into the full length feature as Indy first meets President Teddy Roosevelt for a safari in Africa, and then a youthful Norman Rockwell in Paris.
Once the emphasis shifts to the older, Sean Patrick Flanery Indy, the adventures and danger truly begin to ramp up as we can see the young man that will become the character of the feature Hollywood films and I was very impressed with Flanery's performance throughout the series. "Spring Break Adventure" features the teenaged Indy contending with German spies out to steal an invention of Thomas Edison, while the second half concludes the Curse of the Jackal storyline from the very first Young Indy episode in Egypt.
The DVD set features a whopping 38 historical documentaries that are pertinent to the episodes they are paired with. For example, the My First Adventure episode features a 30 minute documentary on Howard Carter and the discovery of King Tut's tomb. The "Spring Break adventure presents documentaries on Thomas Edison, Pancho Villa, General John Pershing, and more. What's truly wonderful about this set is that these documentaries would be a great addition to a middle school or even high school history class making this boxed set entertaining and educational. The subjects on the documentaries run the gamut from history to culture to social issues and philosophy. In fact, The History Channel acquired television rights to all 94 (from all three volumes of the DVD historical documentaries. The airing of the documentaries is meant to bring in ratings for the history channel and serve as marketing for the DVD release and the theatrical release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The History Channel and History International began airing the series every Saturday morning at 7AM/8C on The History Channel, and every Sunday morning at 8AM ET/PT on History International. Following each episode, two documentaries related to the respective episode are aired.
