Is there any possible way I contact George Lucas and complain about the Old Indy segments being taken out of the episodes. My favourite episode on VHS was when a teenager complains about his work at a donut shop and Indy starts talking to him about how he fought in Verdun.
The episodes on Netflix are the same as the DVD versions. We will likely never get to see the original broadcast versions with the old Indy, except for what gets posted here on YouTube.
No, this is an "are you afraid of the dark" episode. It may not be spoken in the same breath as Indiana Jones, lest I dislocate my own testicles. I hope Spielberg had nothing to do with this.
I recently just watched "My First Adventure", and to see the narrative done with the older Indy character gives it more of a depth that Corey Carrier's voiceover with the exact same dialogue just doesn't convey.
Furthermore, to just shove these into 22 feature-lengths with bridge scenes featuring a visibly older Corey was a really stupid idea. The episodes are just disjointed and clunky that way, not to mention in later episodes, one might forget how they connect back. Screw you, Lucas.
@Roadracer987654321 He's about 28 now. They should have cast him, Corey Carrier as Mutt in Indy 4. Father son resemblence, know what I mean? Would have been good.
omg so happy these are on youtube this series is what got me into wanting to be an archeologist (egyptologist) when I first saw them close to 20 years ago when I was like 7 years old
Agreed - thanks for posting this section of it, I thought I'd never see it again. I hate the transitions in the feature length versions, and I miss the George Hall spots - especially when he meets up with Vicki (Jane Wyatt)!
"They got rid of Old Indy in favour of poorly acted, obviously low budget, awful 'joining segments'? Well darn and double darn.". I agree 100% with you, Jenny, I might not be a fan of the Old Indy, but the new scenes were awful (the kid was around 16 or 17!).
By the way, check my channel for some music video tributes to Young Indy's adventures.
His greatest adventures in the museum are there. Remember he had a rival from Raiders of the Lost Ark? Belloq was his name and he always took credit for Indy's work. It's revealed in one of these episodes.
I always wondered why indy would choose to tell those kids these lame stories of his childhood when he has stories like raiders, temple of doom, and last crusade to tell them.
Thank you very much for putting the ORIGINAL aired version of this great story here. I still have this version on VHS when I taped it off of TV when it premiered. I was pissed when Lucas broke all the episodes up from how they originally aired. They were fine just the way they were (echoes of the Star Wars Special Edition debacle). Once again thanks for posting cuz I was tempted to post it awhile back when the DVDs came out.
I hope they are still in canon. I agree with Cluebert on the possibility of the daughter being Mutt's wife. Its plausible to call a daughter in law your daughter.
Besides, there's no mention of how Indy did get kids or who his wife was at this point in canon. Marion's most likely dead by now....
Well, Shia Lebouf's character Mutt Williams might have a spinoff TV series with Indy as a supporting character, hopefully Harrison ford & Karen Allen might come back into the series.
It's a shame Lucas allowed such a butcher job on the DVD release, but I don't really care since I taped the original series in 1992 and can see it in its original, uncut form.
Old Indy's all wrong in the way he's written and portrayed, but they got the younger Henry Sr. down pretty well. Vaguely reminiscent of Sean Connery in his Bond days.
Hmm, old man indy am not too impressed by, he doesn't talk at all like indy in the first 3 or 4 films. I'dve thought indy would be a bit more wiley in old age in a kind of yoda/obi wan way rather than codgery, he's more like an old Marcus Brody. What happened to that rakish grin, that wry spirit, i'd have imagined him to be at least partially like Sean Connery from Crusade.
I get the feeling they were casting more for age than for the most indy like actor at 90+
Thank you sooo much for posting these! Just bought the DVD sets for the sake of having them in my collection, but this is the version I remember loving when I was growing up. It's a real shame they butchered the episodes for the DVDs the way they did.
the old Indy has none of his Indy-ness. Aside from his hat, he is not Indiana. This series is all about Indy growing up. At the start, he's just a kid. He brags of his travels (see London 1916). By the end of it he has learned to be selfless. And here's old Indy, spending all his time telling his life's adventures to anyone around him. A once wild and crazy guy has become a shell of his former self. I'm glad old Indy has been taken off the DVDs
keep in mind his in his mid 90's so he (like many elderly) like to recollect and share memories and experiences that may seem familiar several years later to people. btw, why wouldn't someone as whos led such an interesting life like indy not share some stories with the younger generations?
because nearly every time he "shares" his memories, nobody asked to hear them. Do you think Harrison Ford (king of pimps) would eventualy become this old bastard? Do you think Sean Flannery would?
I'll have to concur here. The Jones family name carries too much weight in his world. You can't go from world class adventurer, famous archeologist, first rate pimp, and PhD scholar known throughout, to some doddering old fool "Mr" Jones who no one knows. If Indiana Jones was real, he'd be professor emeritus at some prestigious school.
Did you imagine Indiana becoming his father when you first saw Last Crusade? Probably not. Yet that is exactly what's happening in KOTCS, and in my opinion makes perfect sense.
So if 40s Indy can become his almost hated father upon reaching his 60s, how can somebody say what he can't become after entering his 90s?
Nobody is immutable. We don't behave nor look like when we were children of younger, and we certainly will not be the same when old. It happens the same to Indy.
lol because we all know he's immortal and wont ever get old, remian a *king of pimps* at the age of 95 and become an *Old Bastard* god forbid *Sarcasm* and besides, if you were someone like indy who was near the end of his life and lived this amazing life filled with stories so great they can become their own movie series why the hell wouldn't you share these stories with people? another thing, we are talking about indy not sean flannery so stay on topic
this series was a masterpice, and even though i dislike the old indy stuff, Lucus doesn't have the right to just get rid of them. he should have at least out them on as special features. I recently saw this episode on dvd for the first time, and the episode it's paired up with doesn't work at all. seperatly they're fine, but story-wise, the two shouldn't have been together. still, i love this show.
It certainly is the Queen Mary. Aside from the triple red stacks, the wraparound glassed-in promenade below the bridge gives her away. It's a time-traveler: the QM didn't sail until 1936, while these events transpired in 1908. The second ship is much tricker. It resembles the SS America, a bit, but the funnel colours are different. Also resembles the Bremen, vaguely. Whatever it is, it's not the sort of liner that would have been afloat in 1908. Does anyone else have a theory on that 2nd liner?
Sorry, but I like old Indy. I can totally see him as a crotchety, grumpy old git who threatens kids who think museums are boring and cusses and stuff. I love the bit with the cane, but it would have admittedly been better if he'd tripped them with his bullwhip.
the bullwhip would be a bit much though and I can actaully see the kids crying and the parents of those kids suing indys crotchety grumpy old man ass to an early grave
i don't have a problem with old indy wearing an eye patch, put everything else about him is all wrong. indy would not end up as a crotchety old man. he's far too good for that
Quite honestly, after seeing the opening to this episode, it's pretty obvious why they cut Old Indy out. The kids' acting is awful and the elder Indy comes off as kind crotchety. The characterization just doesn't seem right. I know he's supposed to be old, but I don't think Indiana Jones would trip a couple of poor kids like that and then threaten to hit them with his cane. I'm glad this scenes got cut. They're way more dated than any other part of the series.
Now, as to the DVDs.....they left the Old Indy bookends out because.....well, the three sets are being released before Indiana Jone and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls comes out in theatres. They want to keep people wondering about the possibility of Indy dying in the new film.
Luckily though, he did NOT tamper with the only episode to feature the original Indy: Mysteries of the Blues. That is the one YIJ episode featuring Harrison Ford as Indy.
It is truely a shame they cut all the old Indy stuff from the YIJ chronicles. but it was actually a fanservice. Y'see, a lot of people complained to Lucasfilm about the Elderly Indy bookends, so when they were released on VHS, George Lucas reedited all the episodes from one hour ones to two hour ones.
I remember watching this Indy Chronicles when it first came on. I remember thinking WTF? The Old Indy is absolutely terrible. I do think it should be an extra on the DVD. Did we ever learn why Indy has an eye patch?
Thanks for posting this. I'm glad to see it online.
Oh my god I'm in this! At about 2:34 I'm sitting beside Indy! I've got red hair and glasses, and you can see me in a few of the scenes after that. Actually in the scene where he's riding the bike in the lab, when it cuts to his legs pedaling, it's actually my legs your looking at. BOOYA!
Also no matter what anyone else thinks (including George) I loved Old Indy and I think basing his look on Old John Ford was brilliant. Why does Lucas have to make changes to everything? I know it's his material but once something is released move on! First Old Indy and then Old Anakin. Hey man, heroes eventually get OLD! I'm just glad I have my tapes of the original broadcasts. Just need to find them all and burn to DVD.
I was hoping the DVD releases would at least let you watch the original broadcast versions with Old Indy but it's not to be. All of the shows will be joined in 90 min movies. This works OK for two-parters but in other examples it doesn't. Like "Masks of Evil" - The first part is the excellent realistic spy thriller set in Istanbul and the second half is a supernatural Halloween horror ep about Vlad the Impayler (AKA Dracula) raising an undead Army.Just doesn't work.
George seems to have a knack for ruining his own masterpieces. And he is spreading that disease to Spielberg! Soon Schindler's List will all be in color and the nazis in Saving Private Ryan will have walkie talkies instead of machine guns.

I'm glad this scenes got cut. They're way more dated than any other part of the series.

AND PART THREE
Now, as to the DVDs.....they left the Old Indy bookends out because.....well, the three sets are being released before Indiana Jone and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls comes out in theatres. They want to keep people wondering about the possibility of Indy dying in the new film.
AND YES, I KNOW I'M A NERD! lol

PART TWO OF MY COMMENT:
Luckily though, he did NOT tamper with the only episode to feature the original Indy: Mysteries of the Blues. That is the one YIJ episode featuring Harrison Ford as Indy.

It is truely a shame they cut all the old Indy stuff from the YIJ chronicles. but it was actually a fanservice. Y'see, a lot of people complained to Lucasfilm about the Elderly Indy bookends, so when they were released on VHS, George Lucas reedited all the episodes from one hour ones to two hour ones.

I remember watching this Indy Chronicles when it first came on. I remember thinking WTF? The Old Indy is absolutely terrible. I do think it should be an extra on the DVD. Did we ever learn why Indy has an eye patch?
Thanks for posting this. I'm glad to see it online.

I think the explanation they gave was for retcon purposes.

Oh my god I'm in this! At about 2:34 I'm sitting beside Indy! I've got red hair and glasses, and you can see me in a few of the scenes after that. Actually in the scene where he's riding the bike in the lab, when it cuts to his legs pedaling, it's actually my legs your looking at. BOOYA!

Also no matter what anyone else thinks (including George) I loved Old Indy and I think basing his look on Old John Ford was brilliant. Why does Lucas have to make changes to everything? I know it's his material but once something is released move on! First Old Indy and then Old Anakin. Hey man, heroes eventually get OLD! I'm just glad I have my tapes of the original broadcasts. Just need to find them all and burn to DVD.

I was hoping the DVD releases would at least let you watch the original broadcast versions with Old Indy but it's not to be. All of the shows will be joined in 90 min movies. This works OK for two-parters but in other examples it doesn't. Like "Masks of Evil" - The first part is the excellent realistic spy thriller set in Istanbul and the second half is a supernatural Halloween horror ep about Vlad the Impayler (AKA Dracula) raising an undead Army.Just doesn't work.

George seems to have a knack for ruining his own masterpieces. And he is spreading that disease to Spielberg! Soon Schindler's List will all be in color and the nazis in Saving Private Ryan will have walkie talkies instead of machine guns.
