Captain Majed
Roba: Captain Majed is my all-time favorite cartoon, when I was a kid I wanted to marry him.
Moose: I wanted to marry Remi Bandali.
Roba: Whoa, look at how that turned out for us.
Moose: What do you mean?! I’m very much like Captain Majed. Shu, ’cause he has bigger eyes than mine?
:)
Any childhood cartoon crushes?

I loved Captiain Majed, but my crush was with the goal keeper; Ameen, I think :)

Kinzi, no that counts :) Musa’s childhood crush, Remi Bandali, is a real person too :)
Yara, I never liked Al-Haddaf :( Bas I liked the fat guy… what was his name? He was so funny.
Bardees, ma bazon ba3ref meen Captain Rabeh :/ Bas yeah, Lady Lady was soo cool. But Arthur was too blonde… and there was so much nakad!
Noura, afraid not :) I never watched Al-Haddaf.
Mohammad, good enough ;)
Miss Meow, I admit that Bassam might be a little hotter than Captain Majed. But Majed had this charm…..
Wa3d, I thought we never saw who he was…? No..? Mixing up my cartoons?
Mo, how can you not recall!
Mohammad, since I didn’t grow up in Jordan, the first time I heard of Aroub was when she was running for parliament. I guess she was counting on the people who were kids when she was cool :)
7aki, hahaha, Hareega’s comment IS SO FUNNY.
Reem, yeah the best friend of Grendizer definitely had much more charisma!
Hareega, you cracked me up so hard! :D
Ziad D, Al-Ahlam il Thahabeyah was an AWESOME cartoon. It was so complex and so smart (well, I haven’t watched in 15 years so maybe it isn’t in today’s standards). I think it was my first love for Sci-fi. Btw, I decided that whenever we have kids, I’m not gonna make them watch all these animes in mdablaj. We would have all known how to speak Japanese if we weren’t subjected to terrible translation!
Zeid (ou za3tar), I never watched that show! Even the song doesn’t sound vaguely familiar. She is hot though ;)
Mesh, do you have a digg account? I don’t have any friends on digg :( and ok, your taste in cartoons is not cliche enough for me to know what you’re talking about :P
Dima, yeah! Ameen is hot. Both goalkeepers in the show are hot. It made me feel better when my brothers forced me to play goalkeeper with them due to my lack of skill :)

Mine was the lover of Marie Antoinette in Lady Oscar (I forgot his name, but he was soooo handsome!), and yes I wanted to be lady Oscar, and sometimes I wished to be like Adnan in Adnan wa Lina (Adnan was my nickname in 4th Grade :-) )
Lina

Roobs the fat guy was called Zarzour, I think :) he was so funny.
I didn’t know my cartoon crush was a popular crush – captain Amin from Al-Haddaf.
Remember captain Rabe7… I totally disliked rabe7 himself, but I liked the guy who ended up leading the opponents’ team in the final episode. I still remember watching those last episodes at the Haya Cultural Center during summer break. The TV room would get so crowded when the show started, and the guys in front of me would be so shocked because I didn’t support Rabe7’s team and cheered for the other :)

Yasmin, Adnan was kind of ewwy :( I hated the whole toe thing…. Don’t remember the Lady Oscar hero :)
Lina, yeah, Zarzour! He was so funny. I still can’t get myself to remember Captain Rabeh, but I do remember Markaz Haya. It was such a cool place when we were kids…. The planetarium was awesome. Is it still there?

Reem: OMG how did I forget Silverster????? He’s pretty hot. And Ali baba too, I guess it’s the bad boy appeal . hehehehe.

October 27, 2009 @ 5:16 pm
LOL! Lina you liked the guy from the opponent’s team in Rabe7? ya I remember he was all tanned right and wears black?! he was cute whoever he was,(I ‘m too lazy now to look him up)
why can’t I tell the difference between alhaddaf and majed :( I thought majed is alhaddaf bs keber! hehhehe

aah rania! i had my eyes on Julian for a for a while! but my main crush was cezar in captain rabeh :)
never liked captain majed though
Roba
October 28, 2009 @ 10:13 am
Bardees, ahhh, I had no idea! I don’t think I ever managed to finish that show :)
Bardees, hehe, 7aram 3aleiki, Al-Haddaf looks sooo different from Captain Majed!
I definitely liked Captain Majed part 2, when they were all order.
Rania and Lina H, I think that that the pro-AlHaddaf attitude is a Ammani thing. In Riyadh, no one watched Al-Haddaf :) I don’t remember Captain Rabeh…
Rania
October 28, 2009 @ 10:15 am
I can’t remember exactly why, at home, we all loved Al Haddaf and hated Captain Majed. I agree with Lina about the drawing. And there was also the fact that it was too violent and they never lost a game! I had a later crush- Julian from Captain Rabeh:)

Al haddaf was best…majid was also
Captain Rabih had better Graphics, and also each player- Rabih, Sizaar etc had a ‘particular shot’.
But their story was not good – in every match Rabih was 2 -0 down, and at the end of the match they managed to make it 2 – 3. ..And Rabih was a superman, never lost
