Well in order to keep the character in peoples minds the folks at Paramount/Lucas Film are releasing The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles on DVD in 3 volume sets (entitled “The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones”). And we have the review of the first volume “The Early Years”.

Presented in its original 1.33:1 fullscreen aspect ratio, Young Indiana Jones Volume 1 has a fairly decent video transfer, being a 10 year old television series it sure looks it. Some restoration was done but for the most part the image is soft and not very sharp. On the audio end you get a simple 2.0 Dolby Stereo track with serves its purpose
