Oh ok
cause I actually have seen only two episodes. And I even have one Episode on VHS but I watched it just once long time ago and I didn't reallt like it cause I thought it just didn't have the quality of the movies.
Anyway I was just wondering cause in the episode I own I never saw old Indiana Jones. So you say they delated the old Indy scenes? Why? And was there for every episode an Old Indy Scene?
The VHS you got, when did you get it? In the 1999 version VHS, there is NO Old Indy. As far as I'm aware, the vast majority of original episodes, did have Old Indy in it. The ONLY exception is an episode called, "Mystery of the Blues" or "Chicago, 1920". That episode is very special as it features 1950 Indy as played by Harrison Ford. Look that one up on Youtube. That happened near the end of the series run on tv, HF's appearance was an attempt to boost ratings.
Yes, they deleted the scenes. As for reasons why: it's a combination of things. By getting rid of Old Indy it is easier to join episodes together in a more chronological order than just random adventures ranging from 1909 in one episode and 1916 in another ( one example was the original "Curse of the Jackal" which was later split into 2 movies, one called "My First Adventure" and the second, "Spring Break Adventure"). Another reason, due to popular notion, is continuity (yes, as it has been noted in the mere idea of this thread). For example, Indy has a daughter. Yes, that's right a daughter! If the series had been very popular perhaps we wouldn't be seeing Mutt... With an unwritten future of Old Indy, this gives space for any future Indy IV to have different offspring or no offspring at all, a wife (or not) and even in this thread, one eye or both. Perhaps even die earlier... but I doubt that.
