This brief appearance marks Ford's only portrayal of Jones on the small screen.
Harrison Ford has now played Indiana Jones in five feature films— the original trilogy from the 1980s, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008, and Dial of Destiny, which just premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last month. However, Ford actually made one more appearance as Jones in the early 1990s. The part was brief, and even the most fervent fans of the franchise might have forgotten it by now, but it was nevertheless Ford reprising his most recognizable character one more time.
George Hall's elderly Jones book ended nearly every episode, with just four exceptions. One of those exceptions was Season 2, Episode 5. Titled "Mystery of the Blues," this episode still opened and closed with an older Jones recounting the story from the future. However, Jones was not quite as old as George Hall this time, and the future was not quite as distant from the character's youth.
However, the feel of the cinematic Jones lasts less than five minutes, as when Indy and Greycloud arrive in the cabin, they find an old soprano saxophone, which Jones picks up and starts to play with surprising, jazzy talent. From there, he waxes nostalgia about his time working as a nightclub waiter while studying at the University of Chicago, kicking off the main story set in the 1920s.
