My 7 year old son is obsessed with Indiana Jones. He's watched all of the movies more than a dozen times and Young Indy sets 1 and 2 more times than I can count. I watched these when they aired on TV back in the early-mid 90's and loved them. I was so excited to see them on DVD until I actually watched them. I have a lot of anger towards George Lucas over his treatment of this fabulous series. He butchered them by placing them in chronological order and leaving out old Indy. I got so irritated ...

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.

I loved this series as a kid! This version isn't quite what I watched as a teen; George Lucas had them re-cut for the DVD and they run in chronological order now. The series as aired had bits with "contemporary Indy-- AKA early 90s Indy" who is no longer present in this version. Each disk has an approximately 1 1/2 hour story cut from two episodes of the series as aired.
Nevertheless this is an outstanding series. Excellent production values and compelling storytelling make this series ... Read More

I just enjoy the series. It is one I turn to when television programs don't interest me. You can choose your favorites or just watch the entire DVD.

George Lucas' The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Volume Two, The War Years continues the extraordinary narrative, historical, and production achievements found in Volume One. As with the first series, each feature-length program (re-editing material from the original, one-hour broadcasts to smooth out the chronology of Jones' experiences as a child and young man) resembles a theatrical experience more than episodic television. Each drama is remarkably rich in layered detail, shedding light on major events, figures, and ideas from a pivotal era in world history. Where Volume One largely focused on the early childhood of Indiana Jones as he traveled the world in the company of his parents, meeting the likes of Picasso, Tolstoy, Freud, and T.E. Lawrence, Volume Two is exclusively concerned with Jones' experiences during World War I. This time, Jones (Sean Patrick Flanery, introduced in the final episodes of Volume One) is serving in the infantry of the Belgian army under an assumed name, eventually rising in rank from corporal to captain and becoming a spy after paying extensive, nightmarish dues on the war's front line in Europe. The series captures some of the horror of World War I's most infamous battles, directly inserting Jones into the thick of the action at Verdun, the Somme, the Middle East, and elsewhere. In time, Jones is repeatedly recruited to become a secret agent, going undercover in Austria to help forge a separate peace between the last Habsburg emperor and the allies, and playing a crucial part in the survival of British and Australian forces crossing a merciless desert. Along the way, Indy befriends Bolsheviks preparing for the Russian Revolution, has a romance with Mata Hari, attempts a prison break with Charles de Gaulle, and has a wonderful encounter with Albert Schweitzer. As with Volume One, this follow-up box set includes an astonishing number of excellent special features, primarily dynamic documentaries about many of the real-life people and incidents introduced in the stories. These extras provide much depth and analysis without being at all dry; a creative history teacher would do well to incorporate them (and, for that matter, the shows themselves) in a class about the 20th century. --Tom Keogh
