Editorial Reviews

It’s funny that Indiana Jones never bumped into any of his famous former acquaintances during his three globetrotting big screen adventures. In these final episodes from George Lucas’ ambitious edutainment TV series, Indy (Robert Sean Leonard) hobnobs with all manner of 20th-century icons and notables. Among his exploits: serving as translator at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, helping Professor Robert Goddard with his liquid-fueled rocket experiments; jamming on tenor sax with Sidney Bechet; beating up bigots alongside his buddy Paul Robeson; busting bootleggers with Ernest Hemingway and classmate Elliot Ness, doing stuntwork for director John Ford; and trading quips with Alexander Wolcott, Dorothy Parker and the other wits of the Algonquin Round Table. If any names or events are unfamiliar, there’s no need to log ont o Wikipedia. Each episode is enhanced by an impressive array of handsomely produced biographical profiles and background docs that feature some A-list talent (Martin Scorsese appears in the featurette devoted to Ford). Enlightening, yes, but for those who prefer their Indy old school will thrill to the episode "Treasure of the Peacock’s Eye"--the most Raiders-like in this collection--in which a treasure map found on a dying man leads Indy on a search for a priceless gold statue once in the possession of Alexander the Great. Plus, it’s got pirates! The episode, "Masks of Evil" finds Indy against a modern-day (1918 to be exact) Vlad the Impaler. Best of all, Harrison Ford himself, appearing as the grown-up Indy, kicks off "Mystery of the Blues" on an exciting note, being relentlessly pursued for a Native-American artifact in his possession. Other episodes are amusing trifles. In "Scandal of 1920," a lovelorn Indy juggles the affections of three women (including a free-thinking critic portrayed by Anne Heche) while toiling backstage at a Broadway musical. Suffice to say, it’s more fun to watch Indy battle an army of the undead than it is to see him get romantic advice from George Gershwin and Irving Berlin, or, in the episode, "Hollywood Follies," tangle with temperamental director Eric von Stroheim. As with the previous two Young Indiana Jones sets, each feature-length program is comprised of two re-edited original broadcast episodes that chronologically carry on Indy’s extraordinary saga. With Indy back after a 19-year absence in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, this value-packed box set is an excellent way--especially for a new generation of fans--to keep up with the Joneses. --Donald Liebenson

5.0 out of 5 stars Content not Price is the key, February 6, 2008

By	History teacher - See all my reviews

The first two reviews which are very low in rankings are based on price, not the actual content of the show which is exceptional. If you want a great show that is very well done then this is a show for you and while you can wait and get it cheaper, price is never a judge of how good a show is, just on when you will see it.

The price is not likely to go down for a couple years when they release the sets together with additional features. So if you are extremely not interested in seeing them for awhile, by all means wait. I ordered these volumes already since I don't think the three volume set will be that much better in price. - C. Luster

5.0 out of 5 stars Young Indiana Jones Series, June 4, 2008

By	George H. Haag "Amangi Ktemaque" (Southaven, MS USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, Volume Three - The Years of Change Whereas the first two volumes had most episodes relating the war years I found these episodes exciting & just plain fun. The overall quality is exceptional throughout the series. Was a bit reluctant to purchase as this volume was a bit more expensive but found it to be well worth the price. Hours of great entertainment, well researched & high quality historical documentaries I find it a great addition to an already great series.
