This is a list of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles episodes. Although forty-four episodes were produced by Paramount Pictures and Lucasfilm, many were unaired during the series' original 1992-1993 run on ABC. In 1996, some of the remaining episodes were combined and aired as four two-part TV movies on USA. The entire series was edited into twenty-two feature-length films later that year. Twelve of the films were released on VHS in 1999, while the rest were aired on the Fox Family Channel in 2001. All of the films were released on DVD throughout 2007 and 2008.

[edit] Season I (1992)

The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles debuted on ABC on March 4, 1992 with the feature-length episode Young Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Jackal, which served to introduce the character at the two ages he would be portrayed as in the show. The five subsequent episodes in season one were hour-long.

Carl Schultz		 Jonathan Hales March 4, 1992
Indiana Jones describes to two truant boys his early life with his family and his dog. In Oxford 1908, Indy met Ellen Seymour whom Henry requested to teach him on their voyage to Egypt. After an expedition to the pyramids, T. E. Lawrence invited Indy to the excavation of Ka's tomb. The next day, Rashid was found murdered and the jackal head piece stolen. Dimitrius was revealed to be behind this, but he fled. In Mexico 1916, Indy was captured by Mexican revolutionaries, but was rescued by a Belgian called Remy. As Indy got involved in the war, he recognised Dimitrius, who was collaborating with the US. After hearing how hypocritical the revolutionaries act, Indy and Remy decided to leave but not before Indy fought Dimitrius to defeat and recovered the jackal.

Indy cut into a meeting of a woman pioneering campaign. He showed his knowledge of many languages to Vicky. Indy invited Vicky to go with him to Oxford to meet his old tutor Ms. Seymour. At dinner, Winston Churchill and Miss Seymour voiced different views about suffragettes that Vicky found unacceptable. Indy and Vicky spent a romantic time together and visited Vicky's parents. Due to complications Vicky had no desire to marry Indy. Indy said farewell to Ms. Seymour and Vicky before boarding the train to France with Remy.

He tells them it reminds him of when he and his family were on his father's world lecture tour, and were invited to a coffee plantation in British East Africa that was owned by a friend of his father's.

Season two began on September 21, 1992 with the episode "Austria, 1917", and the seventeen subsequent episodes consisted of both new episodes and some episodes originally produced for the first season—each an hour long. In an effort to boost ratings, Harrison Ford made a guest appearance in the feature-length episode Young Indiana Jones and the Mystery of the Blues. When the show was cancelled, four episodes remained unaired: "Florence, May 1908", "Prague, August 1917", "Palestine, October 1917" and "Transylvania, January 1918". In Australia, "Somme, Early August 1916" and "Germany, Mid-August 1916" were shown as a two-hour television movie entitled Young Indiana Jones and the Great Escape. But when released on VHS, the movie was renamed Young Indiana Jones and the Trenches of Hell.

  • "Berlin, Late August 1916" was to be a second season episode that involved Indy escaping from prison and fleeing to Berlin, and would have been the third part in the Somme/Germany cycle following Indy's capture in Somme, his escape from prison, his escape from Germany itself. He has to decide between returning to the US (since the US isn't at war with Germany yet) or returning to the Belgian Army. He ultimately decides to return to the Belgian army. Indy would have met Sigrid Schultz.
  • "Moscow, March 1918" was meant as a sequel to "Russia, 1917". It would have involved Indy working with counter-revolutionary groups in order to allow the U.S. to take over.
