To get peeps like ME who prefer a straight movie-like presentation to shell out coin for it, clearly.

Sure, you say that now. But if I'm remembering the reviews from Amazon and netflix, you may not be happy when many of the episodes are borderline incoherent because they've been sloppily re-edited.

Post a review once you've had a look. I'm curious how bad the eps are (or how good, to be optimistic!).

Yeah, I read they filmed some new stuff (New back then, anyways) to bridge the gaps 'twixt hourly episodes & to fill in the "Old Indy" narration gaps. The stuff with the little kid that had the temerity to keep GROWING UP in the meantime is very noticeable, so I read.
But the newer 18-21 year-old Indy stuff is said to work well, as Sean was only a few years older & looked much the same.

Yes , I remember it very well...Saw some of it being filmed.

I particularly enjoyed one occasion when I was downtown , and some of the storefronts were being used as backdrop for a Sean Patrick Flanery sequence. Flanery is an underrated actor who should be in more sci-fi.

I looked forward to watching it every week , and even remember buying some series-tie-in novels.

Didn't like the 'Old Indy' bookend sequences , at all.

It will be fun to hear your reports once you get your discs.

Moves a lot slower than I remembered, and the full-frame bothers me, but not too shabby. Ironically, Sonisall doesn't appear to be that into it 2nd chapter in- LOTS of dialogue....
