Well, let's take Young Indy, for example. Was it spectacular? No. Was it groundbreaking? No. Was it fun at times? Yes. And plus, in it, we got to see 93 year old Indy, and he wasn't an embarrasment like some say an older Indy would be. We even got to see Harrison Ford as a 50 year old Indy in one episode. Was he as bad as some say he would be? No.

(And, BTW, the Young Indy series serves as proof that Indy will not die in Indy 4, as he was shown as an old man of 93 in the Young Indy series.)
