Currently, I’ve been rewatching and blogging on The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, continuing last week with the twenty-first chapter, “Scandal of 1920”. Before proceeding with the next and final chapter, here are a few things you should know, if you haven’t read the earlier post: You might have noticed that I referred to this show as The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones instead of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and this is why: When the show originally aired, it was called The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, and would bounce week-to-week from stories of Young Indy as a 10-year-old to stories of him from the ages of 18 to his early 20s.
