It looks like TV Land is retiring Impastor. Recently, star Michael Rosenbaum confirmed the network has cancelled the TV series after two seasons.
The comedy followed Buddy Dobbs (Rosenbaum), a slacker who winds up stealing the identity of a small town pastor. The cast also included Sara Rue, Mircea Monroe, Mike Kosinski, and David Rasche.
Though ratings for Impastor were never high, the numbers for season two continued to drop. The season, which ended last week, earned an average rating of 0.08 in the 18-49 demo and only 362,000 viewers. For comparison, season one received an average rating of 0.11 in the 18-49 demo and 456,000 viewers.
Rosenbaum confirmed on Facebook that TV Land has not picked up the series for a third season:
What do you think? Are you a fan of Impastor? Are you sad it’s been cancelled?
so sad….loved show.
so saaad l-o ved show.
Big fan of Impastor. So shocked an disappointed to see cancellation notice. Cast was so well placed. Can’t they get another station? At least I recorded many episodes. I’ll leave it on my DVR in hopes it will return.
Wow, was not expecting this – I had grown to really enjoy Impastor. I hope that maybe it will come back. I prefer it to Younger And Teachers (which I can’t bring myself to watch again after that unbelievably disgusting episode about one of the teachers having sex with the custodian).
Was my favorite show…really was looking forward to next season.
I thought the show was hilarious I really wish the show would keep going
I loved it. Always made me laugh. Very sad to see it go
So sad to see it go!! It was my favorite show on TV. Good luck to all the actors in their future shows. Very sad…..
Great And full of humor show….regret not watching it sooner!!! Laughing every second!!!
Found this show late in online site. Very good comedy. I was glad to saw my favorite actor after ‘Smallville’ in new image. I was sad to knew it was closed. Closing shows just like this is a bad habit of all companies because they don’t know what time is right to show this shows. And how to advertise this show so that much more people would like to watch it. Now it’s not about just TV-Land but other companies too. Your ratings are full ****. I’ll never believe that this show the number of people that watched this show… Read more »
Yes!! Absolutely sad it’s been cancelled! This has been one of the best comedies I’ve seen on tv in a very long time…. my mother and I watched it together every Wednesday night. We always said the show should be an hour long instead of just 30 minutes. We are both very sad and disappointed that Impastor has been cancelled. Still can’t believe it! We were looking forward to season 3! Please someone change their minds and bring this show back! Please and thank you!!
Always cancelling great amusing comedy shows. You did not promote it adequately AND it should have been a one hour series not 1/2 hour AND it came on late 10:30 PM. There’s so little to watch that I enjoy, and now that’s gone. Poor judgement call on your part.
Very disappointed. We looked forward to watching this every week and every episode flew by.
I really hate that. It had become my favorite show once i found it. Best for future endeavors.
Fans of the show are outraged at TVLand’s abrupt canceling of this gem. TVLand led to the detriment of the show by not adequately promoting it. They did not do enough to get the word out on how wonderful it really was. Fans of this show need to gather together and let TVLand know how devastated and disappointed we are over its abrupt cancelation. Not even affording the fans with an appropriate conclusion to the cliffhanger ending. Please sign this petition to urge TVLand to retract its decision to cancel this ground breaking show. This show was the beginning of… Read more »
