Was Ravenwood character from RAIDERS in any of these Young Indy shows?
By this I mean Marion's father/Indy's mentor. THanks.

That was another thing that http://www.indyfan.com/articles/yijchb.html lists as on Lucas' slate of things he wanted to do down the line. Indy as a 10 year old would meet Abner Ravinwood in Jerusalem who is there looking for his lifelong quest, the Arc.
Since the last we saw of Indy was him begining college in 1920 they probably would have brought Abner back some time later, probably with Indy as a grad student working with him, and done the whole thing with his daughter and the romance.

No I looked and I couldnt find her. Indy and Marion happened 10 ish years before Raiders of the Lost Ark, 1936, so they were together around 1925 and the last young indiana jones chronicle is in 1920.

Most of the movie characters were supposed to show up a little further down the line, but since the ratings were terrible they cancelled the show before those episodes were filmed. It's really a shame that they not even completed half the 70 episodes, but that was the audience's call.
I wonder though whether today - with all those high-quality shows - Young Indy would fare better. I think Young Indy was too far ahead of its time, bringing a quality to television nobody expected and nobody could really handle. Today with shows like The West Wing around - okay, it's gone now, but it was around for seven years - Young Indy might actually have the audience it deserves.
