Seinfeld Fans Can Thank Larry David For Sidra's Infamous 'They're Real And They're Spectacular' Line

During the "Seinfeld" heyday, when she wasn't starring as Lois Lane in "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," Teri Hatcher found herself popping up as a guest in shows like "Frasier" and "Two and a Half Men" before snagging a new iconic role as Susan on "Desperate Housewives." But for "Seinfeld" fans, she will be remembered for the character that caught wind of Jerry's secret breast scrutinization and let him know about it. When Hatcher's Sidra thought he forced Elaine to touch her in the sauna, she stormed out of Jerry's apartment, delivering her line, "They're real and they're spectacular."

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Hatcher explained that the line was what co-creator Larry David came up with on the fly (via Vanity Fair). "When you were taping in front of a live audience, Larry would feed you lines," she revealed. "He'd say, 'Okay, go through the door, turn this way, and say this.' I remember that being one of the lines he fed me when, after I'd said it, it just stuck." She went on, "I don't think it was the original script; I'm pretty sure he just came up with it on the spot. Larry David deserves all the credit for the joke working so wonderfully."

Hatcher popped up two more times in later episodes, playing the same character. However, she believes it is that moment from that first episode that will stay with her till the end of her days. With fans still screaming that famous line to her on the streets, Hatcher said,"I swear to you, those five words will probably be what ends up on my tombstone. 'Teri Hatcher: She Was a Great Mom, and They're Real and They're Spectacular!'"
