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 [[World War One]], 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.

* [[Re Cut]]: In the original ''Young Indiana Jones Chronicles'', each show began and ended with short scenes featuring a 93-year-old Indy (with an [[Eyepatch of Power]]) circa 1992. 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.
