The Correct Order In Which To Watch The Indiana Jones Franchise

As is often the case after the launch of a successful film or television series, newer entries will come along, expanding on the stories we know and love by turning back the clock and going back in time. Projects like "Star Trek: Enterprise" or the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy are perfect examples of this in practice, but predating both of them by nearly a decade was "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles," a spin-off television series from the early '90s where Indy's story begins.

With 28 episodes to its credit across two seasons, the 1992 series is admittedly the hardest on our list to pin down chronologically, with the exact setting and even the year each installment is set in changing from episode to episode. That said, there's no more logical place to start your adventure than the show, which saw the young swashbuckler doing everything from meeting famous historical figures such as Thomas Edison and Vlad the Impaler to fighting in the trenches of World War I.

We won't lie, the television series may at times feel like a far cry from the films, and may leave some fans befuddled since it trades Indy's typical over-the-top adventures for something a little more down-to-earth. Despite that, they're well worth viewing for any die-hard fan of "Indiana Jones," and a must-watch before diving into what's next on our lineup. Plus, it's here that we get our last glimpse at Harrison Ford in the role of Indiana Jones for a while, appearing in one episode as an older Indy reminiscing on the past.
