DDP-2 Review of The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Travels with Father

The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Travels with Father (1996 TV Movie)

Series is okay, but not good enough...

[15 October 1999]

I liked the young Indiana Jones Chronicles, but it never really seemed like it was the same Indy from the movies. All I mostly remember from the series, was Indy wandering around w/ the Belgian Army during WWI alot. The series never got into the "meat" of young Indy: The death of his mother; early adventures (other than running into historical figures); showing exactly what happened with Professor Ravenwood and Marion; showing him and his faithful sidekick from Temple of Doom...Yohan! Basically, alot of things brought up in the movies never got covered in the TV series. They should have added this kind of stuff to the episodes they made.
