When it came out on DVD in 2008, it was over 120 bucks a volume, and I just flat out refused to cough up that kind of coin. But I find that NOW you can get each of the three volumes for just under $40!
I ordered volume three for me & Sonisall- I think it'll be quite fun for us.
Anyone else have fond memories of this gem from the early nineties?

As much as I really, really wanted to love it, I never saw an episode that I particularly liked.

I thought you might bring this series up after your other thread.
My brother shelled out for all three volumes (at a much cheaper UK price) and I started watching the first one a good while ago but didn't get very far because I had too many other shows to watch. One day I will go back and carry on. I never really watched it when it originally aired either but caught bits and it looked alright from what I can remember.
Sean Patrick Flannery was in the third volume right?
Coz I know it was a young kid in the first and I can't remember about the second.

Quote:It was the little kid in the first five eps (the first volume has seven) and Sean all after that. The third volume is at the end of the war years, that's why I ordered that one in particular- more variety in the adventures.

It was a very okay series, but I was really turned off by "Old Indy" opening & closing the shows- thankfully, that junk has been edited out for the DVDs.

Weird to think that Flannery is now several years older than Ford was in Raiders.

I was always surprised that he never made it bigger than he did. He can be a good actor and was genuinely excellent (and almost unrecognisable) in Powder.
Guess he was just one of the many also-rans that never quite make it. Sometimes I think they are better off.

Are these the volumes on DVD? If I recall correctly, I heard that they butchered the episodes, removing the framing sequences, changing the episode order, and even cutting episodes together in chronological order (but not dramatic order).
If that's true, I'd rather not bother. Sure, the "Old Indiana Jones" framing sequences were often lame, but that was the whole context of the show. Why change it?
