What makes me laugh is that the writer seems to think that taking over the time-slot of "MacGyver" is some kind of justification for the series' superiority. While I wasn't watching a lot of TV in the late '80s/early '90s, I did happen to catch an episode of "MacGyver" and thought it was garbage. Everyone in my circle made fun of how bad it was...so that point doesn't resonate with me at all.Attila the Professor said:The writer likes the Boondock Saints, which seems to me to call the rest of his judgment into question.
Looking at the dates, Young Indy didn't take over SchmuGyver's Monday night time-slot right away. That 'take over' came during it's 2nd season and lasted for only 4 weeks before being moved again. The series continued onwards and its cancellation happened much later.Henry W Jones said:Just read the article and for starters, while it took MacGyvers time slot, it was cancelled before it even got through all the episodes.
What is this guy talking about? "Many of the treasures and locales" in the films are "featured prominently"? There is no 'in-film' connection of the Peacock's Eye to "Doom". (It appears that Tyler Waterman has not been making his own investigations and is merely repeating what others have said.)Tyler Waterman said:Also, many of the treasures and locales referenced in the films are featured prominently in the show, in particular the Eye of the Peacock from Temple of Doom.
For more than one reason, this is a myopic point of view (the "Peking" episode crushes his claim) and the elderly Indy did not bookend "every episode".Tyler Waterman said:1. It denies the existence of Mutt!
According to the narration from the elderly Indy that bookended every episode of the show, he had a daughter, grandkids, and great-grandkids, but did not have a son. Sorry Mutt, apparently you simply didn?t exist!

Sarcasm, if ever I heard it.A young Boondock Saint is a young Indiana Jones; just try and and contain that amount of awesome, I dare you.
And the guy writing this article can't even spell MacGyver. Aside from that, it's interesting that he mentions MacGyver since I remember thinking when I watched YIJ that he seemed more like a Young MacGyver than a Young Indy. MacGyver was always such an idealist & a do-gooder, while the real Indy was fun to watch because of his "devil-may-care" roguish attitude. Hmmm... which one seems closer to Young Indy?This show took MacGuyver?s TV spot
Huh? That only existed in only one of the films, and yes, it was entertaining, but it's not why I (or most people, I assume) watch Indy movies. Again, I'll have to assume that this is sarcasm.One of the best parts of the Indy films is the relationship between Indy and his father.
Yeah, unfortunately, YIJ forgot to include the great humor that existed in the Ford & Connery scenes, which is really why most people enjoyed the father/son scenes in the first place.You know what Young Indy does? It actually gives you more! This show is all about the relationship between the two, as the episodes featuring little kid Indy are all about him traveling the globe with his father
Which was pretty stupid, actually, and got boring really fast.Every single important person in history ever is in this freaking show
I don't know. Too bad Indy wasn't actually in the show. Instead, we had some completely new guy,with a completely different look and personality from Indiana Jones. Learning history from the real Indiana Jones MIGHT have been kind of fun, but I guess we'll never know, unless Disney decides to make a new educational Indy series with Harrison Ford.who better to teach our children than Indiana Jones?!
Sadly, it also kind of denies the existance of Indy since, again, the guy in this show bears no resemblance to Indiana Jones.It denies the existence of Mutt!
It was a decent show (certainly had good production values), but it shouldn't have been called "Indiana Jones." I feel they called it that simply as a marketing tactic. The guy in this show did not seem remotely like Indiana Jones. I get that he was younger, and so his personality could be different, but the difference between the guy we see in the final episodes of this show and the guy we meet at the beginning of Temple of Doom (which is, chonologically, the next time we see him), is just TOO different. I can't picture Flannery's Indy throwing a flaming shishkabob into somebody's chest, for example.00Kevin said:that show was quite a fine show, the guy forgot to mention all the future stars that appeared on that show like Catherine Zeta Jones and Daniel Craig
