DVD sets don't come more generous or well-intended than The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Volume One. George Lucas' 1990s television series, inspired by his feature film collaborations with Steven Spielberg and actor Harrison Ford, used a childhood version of Jones as a catalyst for involving young viewers in the dynamics of 20th century history and thought. As much a scamp as Ford's swaggering hero-with-a-bullwhip, little Henry "Indy" Jones (Corey Carrier) gets into a great deal of mischief in his travels around the world with his disciplined father, Professor Henry Jones, Sr. (Lloyd Owen, doing a credible version of Sean Connery's voice from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). Also accompanied by his mother (Ruth de Sosa) and imperious tutor, Miss Seymour (Margaret Tyzack), Indy ends up in various unanticipated adventures with some of the most noteworthy individuals of his age. A trip to Paris finds him cavorting with young Norman Rockwell and an ultra-arrogant Pablo Picasso (who is out to prove that the style of aging Impressionist Edgar Degas is easy to forge). A stay in India lands Indy in the company of the great guru, Krishnamurti. In Russia, he feuds with Tolstoy as if the two were in a buddy movie. In Italy, Puccini puts romantic moves on Mrs. Jones, while Indy listens carefully in Vienna to definitions of love by none other than Freud, Jung and Adler.
The overall effect of these handsome, feature-length stories, all shot on glorious location, is of a certain audacity--Lucas having the nerve to name-drop all over the place and situate Jones with some of the greatest achievers in world culture. But each episode is nothing less than spectacularly educational as well as entertaining. Scripts are carefully written to reflect what these famous individuals actually contributed to mankind, and to give a sense of what their personalities were like. The last three shows in Volume One find Jones at age 20 (played by Sean Patrick Flanery), now more or less on his own as he gets into various scrapes in Mexico (where he rides with Pancho Villa) and Ireland (where he meets William Butler Yeats). There is so much to glean from these stories, but even more to bask in on the set's many special features, which include multiple, exquisitely produced documentaries about the historical figures, political and artistic movements, and crucial events that play into this series. This is a great set for kids (probably beginning at the 6th grade level) and adults as well, preferably to watch together. --Tom Keogh

I am so ticked off. I have been waiting forever for these dvds to come out and when they do not only are they way over priced but they are changed. I say release the way they where shown on TV and have these redone ones as well. That is what they did for star wars you can get both on DVD. I am hoping they do the same for these. If they don't then I guess I just will not have them at all. For I would rather not watch the show and remember the way it was with good memories then watch this rehacked ... Read More

I bought this product as a gift for my boyfriend's little brother (he asked us to get it). The price was right on amazon and the episodes were pretty good.

One of the best series I have ever watched! Pure genius to show Indy meeting famous people in time (and during the right time period as well). I loved every episode! Like 24, I just didn't want to stop with just one episode. Action. Adventure. Comedy. Romance. All in one.
I also bought the other two volumes... they are all fabulous!
It was made for family viewing in the 90's, so it's cleaner than the majority of TV nowadays.

My dad and I were enjoying what we thought was the first episode of this great series when, as the story was nearing what we thought was going to be the resolution of the mystery, all of a sudden Egypt is abruptly left behind and we find ourselves in Morocco! Even more confusing, we wondered who that new kid was with Indy's parents and teacher. Why... it's Indy himself... only he's five years older!!! Is this a defective dvd? No! It's the defective logic of the show's creator! George has once again, as ... Read More

As a UCLA graduate in history, I eagerly watched "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" when it appeared as a TV series in the early 1990s, and thought it so well done that I submitted a positive letter to TV GUIDE that they chose to publish. As a parent of young children in the late 1990s, I invested in the series when it became available as a 12-videotape set, and it paid off with my children through the years developing a compassionate, comprehensive understanding of World War I era history. We have looked ... Read More
