Young Indy? Lost in his own Museum?



I'm a huge fan of the Young Indy Chronicles. I'm a huge Indy fan in the first place. He really did make me want to become an archaeologist. I'm over it now. Anyway, Young Indy: Not only have they taught me a lot about, like, history, they're fun to watch and amazingly well-made. It feels like a separate series from the original, classic Big Three, so it's necessary to not try to make connections and try to compensate. Instead, enjoy the Young Indy series as a different entity, a line of well-made historical adventures that go take us from pre-WWI to during the war and beyond. Sean Patrick Flannery is a great actor, and the plots and characters are always fun. It really is surprising that such an excellent series was made; whuddathunk. . .

So on to the "news."

A long time ago, everyone's favorite dude Rick McCallum said they were working on a
Young Indy DVD series. But, but-- Where is it? The article is dated. . . late 2002. He says it'll take 3-4 years. I'd say the time is up. Where are my DVDs?!

Article 1
Aritcle 2
:
I think [Indiana Jones 4] will be 2005. We're going ahead with the Young Indiana Jones DVDs; we are so committed to those. Even though the series wasn't a major hit here, it was a huge hit in the rest of the world. It's such a great opportunity, because what we're going to try to do is produce historical documentaries about each of the historical characters. It's a way of giving it to a school and saying, "Look, we know how hard it is to teach children. Try and use this as a tool. Let them see something that is fun for them and easy for them to watch." Hopefully, they can pick something that they can start to learn and watch another documentaries about the person and start to see them in the historical time.
Well, considering how Wrong he is about Indy 4 (mixed feelings about an Indy 4). . . We'll see. Have patience, my young Padawan.
