George Lucas created the greatest modern fairy tale with Star Wars, and with the Young Indy Chronicles he created the best education program ever. An unparallelled achievement.
(My only gripe is that I really loved the 'Old-Indy bookends' of the original version which were later edited out, but the series remained astounding, nevertheless.) Seriously, this is the best TV series of all time. But it was truly made complete with the DVD edition where the episodes are accompanied by brilliant documentaries. Very thorough, very fascinating. For kids aged cca. 8-15, this is the perfect education about the 20th century. (It was actually intended for schools - it is a shame they haven't discovered it yet.)
Young Indy has everything kids should know about history, philosophy and art, and it is great entertainment, as well. Highly, highly recommended.
