Trivia
George Lucas wrote an extensive timeline, detailing the life of Indiana Jones, assembling the elements for about seventy episodes of this show, starting in 1905, and leading all the way up to the theatrical movies. Each outline, included the place, date, and the historical people Indy would meet in that episode, and would then be turned over to one the the series writers. When the series came to an end, twenty-eight of the seventy stories had been filmed.

Goofs
In close up shots of 9-year-old Henry Jr., you can clearly see that his actor, Corey Carrier, has deep brown eyes instead of Harrison Ford's trademark greenish-hazel eyes, or Sean Patrick Flannery's bright blue eyes.

Quotes
Man: You boys look like you crawled through hell on your bellies.
Indiana Jones: We didn't crawl.

Alternate versions
A number of episodes were originally aired as two-hour TV movies. The episode "Transylvania, January 1918" was not broadcast in the UK as it was considered too violent.

Best TV Series

The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was the Best TV series ever. Each episode Indy took you into WW1. You got to see what war was really like through a soilders eyes. Indy's adventure with the French Intelligence were always full of suspense. I was always amazed by the scenery. And could not believe that each episode was filmed on location. By watching this series, it made me enjoy the movies so much more. I am so happy that people who might have missed the series can get a chance to see it again on video.
