Fun Facts

For the series, creator George Lucas wrote an extensive timeline detailing the life of Indiana Jones, enough for at least 70 episodes of action.

An episode where Indiana searched for The Crystal Skull, was planned as part of the third season before the show was cancelled.

The show was designed to be educational for children and teenagers, spotlighting important historical figures and events.

Indiana ran into Pablo Picasso, Al Capone, Theodore Roosevelt, and many other famous people on his adventures.

In 1999 the show was re-edited and new footage was shot to make feature-length chapters out of the episodes which flowed together more smoothly.

For the DVDs, Lucasfilm updated the picture quality of the film and remastered the soundtracks.

From 1992-1994 the series was nominated for 23 Emmy Awards and won 10.
