Well, yesterday I happened to find at my doorstep the third and final volume of "The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones", entitled "The Years of Change". This 10-disc set contains the final seven chapters of the series in mostly re-edited form from their original broadcast versions, along with 31 all-new historial documentaries and a historical commentary on Disc 10. All of the discs are reproduced in their original full-frame broadcast aspect ratio in Dolby Digital 2.0 sound with optional English subtitles, and the discs look and sound great.
All good and fine and dandy, yada yada yada. Enough said of that. Now for the really big news about this set that will please all of the Indy fans out there:
HARRISON FORD IS IN THE SET!
That's right, the original Indy's cameo appearance in "The Mystery of the Blues" is preserved intact from the original ABC telecast from 1992-93. The only minor edits to this segment are in a slight re-editing of the main title credits and cleaner bridgings from one segment to another (as opposed to its original telecast, with the commercial break fade-ins and fade-outs included). Other than that, this remains the sole "Young Indy" segment with the original bridging bookends preserved for DVD.
YES!!!!!! I knew it would be sacrilege to edit out Ford's bookend segments from the episode. Good thing I was wrong about the editing on this one! Hopefully I'll have a more complete review of the set in a few days.
