->''Before the world discovered Indiana, Indiana discovered the world''
A television series featuring the adventures of the silver-screen archaeologist IndianaJones in his childhood and teen years, wherein he had a [[TheGump remarkable tendency]] to keep encountering famous people and events. The series was conceived and produced by the films' co-creator GeorgeLucas, who drafted a 70-item timeline of interesting moments in Indy's young life for writers to take story ideas from.
It originally aired from 1992 to 1993, taking the form of hour-long episodes, as ''The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles''. The series principally showcased Indy at the ages of 9-10 (as played by Corey Carrier) and 16-up (as played by Sean Patrick Flanery). The Carrier episodes focus on Indy touring the globe alongside his parents as part of a world lecture tour given by his father, a noted medieval scholar. The Flanery episodes primarily deal with Indy's service in WorldWarOne, in just about every theater you can think of. In each episode, Indy would meet some famous person from the early 20th century, and learn some sort of moral lesson. Yes, Lucas very openly envisioned the series as edutainment.
Notably, the show aired in an extremely AnachronicOrder, with Carrier's and Flanery's episodes often alternating. This may have hurt the series in the long run. The writers produced scripts for three seasons' worth of episodes, including some stories that would introduce more characters from the films. However, the show was cancelled after its second season, before those episodes could be shot. Nonetheless, four additional TV movies were later broadcast from 1994 to 1996, which incorporated some material from the various unproduced scripts (though not from the ones which featured more of the films' characters, sadly).
George Lucas prided ''Young Indy'' on managing a film-level quality production on a television budget, helped by revolutions in digital technology, and he has said that the show was partly a test to see how far he could take the later ''StarWars'' prequels. Also like ''StarWars'', the series was subject to subsequent [[ReCut furious re-editing by Lucas]], the new cuts first showing up during re-airings in the late 90s.
This re-cut version, with new footage added and other parts removed, is the only one currently available on DVD: it's known as ''The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones''. The ''Adventures'' combines the original ''Chronicles'' episodes into two-hour tele-movies, two shows per film (often in a quite different, and much more strictly chronological, order than in the original airings). Again, some of the newly shot material was based on the unfilmed ''Chronicles'' scripts.
A notable proportion of Indy fans, regardless of their opinions of the series as a whole, refuse to accept the ''Chronicles'' frame story, which depicts Indy as a 93-year-old man (played by actor George Hall) pottering around suburbia and boring people with reminiscences of the days when he was young and interesting. (It may or may not be significant that the old-fart-Indy sequences were the main thing edited out of the ''Adventures'' version of the series.)

* CaliforniaDoubling: Yes and no. Most of the series was shot in London, South Africa, Spain, Morocco and the Czech Republic, but they still managed to send the actors to many actual locations and film more than the EstablishingShot there.
* TheCastShowoff: One episode features a brief snippet of Indy singing in the bathtub as he cleans up for a date. Another is about him learning to play soprano sax in Chicago at the height of the Blues craze. Sean Patrick Flannery is an accomplished musician, as he proves here.
* CharacterDevelopment:
** Watch the Young Indy series and see him slowly grow more and more cynical and wily, especially during his activities during WWI.
** In ''The Treasure of the Peacock's Eye'', the originally warm and joyful Rémy becomes chilly and unpleasant as he obsesses with finding the title treasure. This finally leads to the two friends breaking up and Indy deciding to return home.
* DawsonCasting: Sean Patrick Flanery, playing Young Indy, was a decade less Young than his character.
** Corey Carrier got in on it as well, albeit unintentionally. When the episodes were recut and put together in more chronological order, episode that were supposed to be chronologically one right after the other (but were filmed years apart) show how much Carrier grew during the series. The first two episodes are Egypt and Morocco, and Carrier looks about a foot taller in the second.
* EdutainmentShow

* EyepatchOfPower: Senior-citizen-Indy sported one of these over his right eye, complete with a nasty facial scar trailing out from beneath.

* ReCut: In the original ''Young Indiana Jones Chronicles'', each show began and ended with short scenes featuring a 93-year-old Indy (with an EyepatchOfPower) circa 1992.

However, in the later ''Adventures'' re-edits, the Old Indy segments were edited out entirely.

He'd narrate adventures from his youth--the titular "Young Indy" stories, here told in flashback--to basically anyone who'd bother to listen (and some who didn't). However, in the later ''Adventures'' re-edits, the Old Indy segments were edited out entirely. Instead, newly shot linking footage, starring the other original members of the Young Indy cast (that is to say, the characters from the around-WWI era) was used to bridge the gaps.

* RedRightHand: By the time Indy meets Demetrios again in Mexico, he has lost a hand and is nicknamed "Claw".
* SceneryPorn: The series loves to linger nostalgically on famous landmarks as establishing shots for the country of the week Indy is adventuring in. The series was intended to be semi-educational in nature.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: For the most part the series was grounded entirely in the real world, sometimes during real-life events from history, with none of the supernatural shenanigans that appear in the movies... Except for one episode where Indy fights Dracula.
