Hi,

Just wanted to report back with some info on my Young Indiana Jones episodes.

Well they look to be in excelent shape. I have all the episodes, and by doing a test on just a few so far, it looks as if they ARE IN STEREO!

I'm going to go back and look at a few I know had not been on official VHS, and see if they are stereo too, and if they have the Old Indi intro segments. Man, I wish they would have used the John Williams music cues.
IMHO, The Indiana Jones mythos is 40% Harrison Ford and another 40% John Williams. Young Indiana Jones is thankfully able to capture the remaining 20% required for enjoyment.

Update- Looks like "Curse of the Jackal" is in mono and was recorded off of the USA network. Not a very good copy. :-(

So, it looks like all the non-VHS episodes are T.V. rips from the USA network and in mono. I'm not that happy with the amount of grain in the picture. I could try to clean them up a bit more with Adobe, but I woud rather see if anyone can come up with better versions first. IF not, I'll be happy to share what I have.
