[edit] 2008

Indy 4 page says release will be 2008. Here it says 2007. One is wrong. --Mcmachete 08:45, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DVDs??

Does it mean that the 22 "films" will bereleased individualy or as part of one boxset? The article makes it a bit unclear.

• That's because Lucas and company have never made it clear either. All they have said is that there will be 22 DVDs in all which will contain the complete series and 100 historical documentaries dealing with the real-life events and people fictionalized in the show.

[edit] Critical reception

Isn't there something to say about general critical or fan opinion of this? Brutannica 03:51, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

• Yes. If you have any info, please add it! :) The Wookieepedian 04:15, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Dude that's what I want to know. Ok it won lots of emmies and awards etc but did the fans like it? Why was it 4 seasons: did interest fall off, did it get boring, was it planned this way to have 44 or so episodes? Is it truly educational and useful as intro to history?Joe Swiss 15:05, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

According to this article, Lucas intended for it to run much longer, leading up to the events in Raiders. I seem to recall it was never a ratings success, but was allowed to continue because ABC execs thought it was worth championing. I also seem to remember that it was one of the first shows to run either in a short season or intermittently, which hurt habitual viewership, important in building a long-running series. The timing and intended audience I think also hurt it, as the same audience that fell in love with Raiders was at the time of the series debut too old to appreciate a show that was ostensibly aimed at kids and tweens (I was in high school when Raiders was released, but I was six years out of university when the series debuted). You'll have to find sources to back me up on this before adding it to the article, though. This is just my recollection. 71.204.204.249 14:42, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Map of all places Indiana visits

Does this map only include the places Indiana visits in the series, 'cause i believe he also visits the Netherlands in one of the movies ( I think Young Indiana Jones and the Attack of the Hawkmen), if only for a moment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.10.46.8 (talk) 20:26, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pilot Re-Edited

There is a question of how the pilot episode originally existed. As originally aired the pilot was the feature length Curse of the Jackal; that particular story didn't air as two separate episodes until much later. It therefore makes sense that the episode as originally aired was also how it was originally edited, with re-edits later done to make re-runs fit into the hour-long time slot. This is a common practice (see "Encounter at Farpoint" for example). Now, I can point out common sense all I want, and argue that I remember watching the pilot episode when it originally aired, but admittedly, that all counts as original research. Also, while I've found several websites that back up my assertion -- including the IMDb -- I don't think Wikipedia considers them valid resources for citation. Still, they're better than nothing. Can ColdFusion cite more reliable sources? Minaker (talk) 15:01, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

No, I can't. I do remember reading, perhaps somewhere in the giant library that is Raider that they filmed everything as normal one hour episodes and then went back and edited it together into one movie first to introduce both actors at once, and second to make a huge event to initially attract viewers. So, while it originally aired together, they were not originally created together. I can't put my finger on the source, so I guess it doesn't matter. ColdFusion650 (talk) 15:47, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
