همراه و همبازی آقای بهزاد اشتیاقی رافی خاچاطوریان بود که سالها پیش در یکی از متعدّد تظاهرات ایرانیان جلوی ساختمانهای فدرال در بلوار ویلشیر (لوس آنجلس) توسط یکی از عمّال رژیم مورد حمله قرار گرفت و در اثر فرو کردن عصا به یک چشمش بینائی ش رو از دست داد.

Dear Parviz

Thank you sooooooo much! Nazy is right, you are really great!!

Such a good memory? You are a gem!

I am released now. For a long while I couldn't put a name on that image and always thought that character was also played by Mr Khayatbashi. Hope we will find his name soon.

با تشکر از نازی

با تشکر از نازی عزیز برای کلید زدن این بحث نوستالژیک:

 "آقای مربوطه" کاراکتری بود آفریده ی بهزاد اشتیاقی که خود نیز نقش اورا بازی می کرد و همسرش فرشته ی مهبان نیز در آن حضورداشت. هرشب بعد از اخبار ساعت 9 به مدت ده دقیقه پخش می شد. برنامه ای بود مثلاً انتقادی و طنز باتوجه به اینکه برنامه های طنز آن روزگار نیز اجازه نداشتند به ساحت مقدس کله گنده ها وارد شوند و معمولاً از گرانی میوه و گوشت و دست انداز خیابان ها و مسائل اجتماعی سوژه می ساختند. برنامه ی شیرینی بود و می گفتند اشتیاقی برای هر قسمت آن پانصد تومان می گیرد که در آن روزگار مبلغ گزافی به شمار می رفت.

آن آقای ارمنی با چشم مصنوعی هم که سوری خانم اشاره کرده (ومتاسفانه اسمش الان از ذهنم پریده) در همان سریال مربوطه گاهی مهمان بود و میدانم که بعداً به لوس آنجلس کوچ کرد و در برنامه های ویدیویی سال های پیش اورا به یاد ارم.

I know exactly what you mean, go ahead and start one, I'm sure tons of people will contribute and take part and I'm sure it would be a fun blog!

Majid jan

Not necessarily har kalameh. But just thought it would be a fun project to pick up.

The spotlight should not be on ME per se!!

دکتر ایکس...........

منظورت اینه که یه چیزی تو این مایه ها بنویسیم؟ که هر کلمه ای  یه دنیا خاطرات برات زنده میکنه؟

مشاور حضور :)

Rafi

Khatchatoorian also got his fame from that same show. Did i spell his name right?:) Marbooteh used to wear big ol' glasses.

Was it aghay Marbouteh?......

Maybe!

The name marbouteh is familiar.

That was a guy with artificial white big eyes. But he was so funny.

I was too young, don't remember it well, but always thought that he was also H. Khayatbashi..............

Souri jan

Dunno about Aghaye shaaki But i do remember Aghaye marbooteh:))

remember that? 11- 11 30 everynight baad az akhbar. I remember that sucker so well since i always had to fight and argue with mom hoping she would let me stay up and watch:))

The Title for this

Blog ought to be:

javooni... javooni kojayi ke yadate bekheyr.. azize man amman amman...

Seems like it is going where it should not be going:)

I guess just for the hell of it we should start running a "confession" blog. We call it IC confessions as in Cab confessions. Everyone can just come on out and say what is on their mind, You know, letting it all out, putting it all out there. Ages, Sizes(hee hee) desires, wishes, thoughts, secret crushes......know what i am saying?:0

Nazaratetoon chi chies?:))

While we are at this subject....

Does anybody remember that old old TV program with : Aghaye Shaaki?

Who was playing there? do you know?

Bebin, to ham aziat nakon digeh!

I asked Parviz Forghani and sure enough, he knew the answer! He knows everything nostalgic and in all probability can walk on water, too, but this has never become necessary!

He says the name of the guy in "doostet daram, doostet daram" was Hamid Mir Motahari. That is absolutely correct!

Take a look at this very interesting and nostalgic blog post by the talented Touka Neyestani in which he talks about the Iranian television series, Mohandes Billy, Parviz Sayad, and right at the end, Hamid Mir Motahari:

//sainttouka.blogfa.com/post-157.aspx

I have really little or no memories about Amir Arsalan-e Namdar the series, but I do remember the film.

Thanks for the question and for reminding me just how old I am! The good news is that you may be older than me! Just kidding baba! We are all absolutely just the age we are supposed to be!

Thank You Nazy

This is really great!

It is so great to see Asghar Taragheh, Massoud Assadolahi, Morad Barghi, Mohandes Billy, Mr. Ghatebeh and others all under the same roof.

Were they joking and messing around with each other or was it all arts, painting and nostalgia? 

Ms. Kaviani, call me a bit stubborn if you will but,

me thinks it was Khayat'bashi in "Dostat darm , dostat daram." Yes the character there was very serious and non-comical, the reason I still remember that show after all these years is perhaps it was such an "avant-guard" production comapred to all that other garbage on the tube ( back then).

As long as we're on the nostalgia train here, didn't Parviz Sayad also had another comdey before Okhtapos, as Amir Arsalan Namdar? Sayad is another significant figure we should appreciate more. Almost 50 years ago Al Ahmad had a review of Sayad's play in Sangalaj Theater, and he was highly impressed and thought that this young artist would be a phenomenon, Al Ahmad was right at least on this count.

P.S. I had some queries on the "group writing" but his note is getting too long, cheers

Asghar Taragheh pictures!

This is the old Asghartaragheh!

الحمدالله بد نیستیم! التماس دعا داریم!

Nazy jaan your first response to Vildemose (Yes, the one you showed is Hassan Khayatbashi, but not Mohandes Billy!) confused me, perhaps her clip was the culprit and I'll have to watch all these videos later!

In the next group writing I'll not succumb to temptations to write supermarket romance novel stuff!  I'll stick to the dry life of Iranians under this Islamic Republic! Others can garnish it with romantic stuff ;-) 

Everything is sacred

Anonymouse, aziat nakon baba!

I meant to say: When he is walking around like that or singing some pop song, he is Hassan Khayatbashi. When he puts on that costume and makeup, he turns into his stage character Mohandes Billy. But yes, they are the same!

Anyway, halet chetoreh Anonymouse? Our joint story will be published soon in its entirety, edited and pretty. We are going to start a new project soon! Be there or be square!

He is a genius. Just listen

He is a genius. Just listen to this interview. He is so brilliant.

Nazy jaan I'm confused! Mohandes Billy & Khayatbashi r the same!

Are they not?  I can't see youtube videos now but Mohandess Billy was the one with long tail tuxedos and would touch his chin and make comments.  Are there 2 Khayatbashis?  What is Mohandess Billy's real name then? 

Everything is sacred

Thank you so much Nazy jon.

Thank you so much Nazy jon. You are the best. We appreciate your tireless efforst in making IC an intersting place to come to.

Dear Houshang

I have a vague memory of that "doostat daram, doostat daram" program. I don't think it was Khayatbashi. There was some other guy, one of those who looked like intellectuals at the time. I will ask my nostalgia buff friends Parviz Forghani and Bahram9821 who are also Iranian.com contributors.

Below is what a source says about Hassan Khayatbashi's background:

Hi Vildemose!

So, I don't know what happened to my comment replying to you! I must not have submitted it after all that typing!

Here are two clips for you to see:

1. A VOA interview with Hassan Khayatbashi in character, in which an excerpt of an old Mohandes Billy episode with Googoosh is shown:
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IJQ-ll8SIY

2. Mohandes Billy dancing with Googoosh. The fun thing about this clip is that our own Bahram9821 cleaned it up and posted it on YouTube:

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyQoQqmHDnw
Enjoy!

Yes, the one you showed is Hassan Khayatbashi, but not Mohandes Billy!

Didn't Khayatbashi also had another TV program called:

"Dostat daram, dostat daram." Yup, I'm a bit older than you thought! If my rusty memory serves me well, Khayatbashi was also the first one back then, ( and this must be at least 40 years ago) who was talking about eviornmental issues, and concerns. Is he a genuis or what? Those faces bring back so many incredibly good memeories. Yes, we 're all getting old too. It's part of the cycle, get used to it!

Is this Hassan Khayatbashi?

Mohandes Billy was a genius.

Mohandes Billy was a genius. I wish I could find his clips on you tube.

Ahh ok, so I can't even tell what he looks like. Billy?
