During the sixth season, NBC executives shared the original test results for the pilot episode with the supporting cast for the first time. The reviews from test audiences in late October 1989 were less than encouraging. They thought George Costanza was a "loser" and a "wimp", that Jerry's everyday life was "boring" and his character "powerless", "dense", and "naive", and that Kessler (Cosmo Kramer's original name), although sometimes "mildly amusing", was also underwhelming. They found the storylines a distraction from the stand-up segments which was the only part those familiar with Jerry's brand of comedy liked. Their overall view of the performance of that first show: "weak".
