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?
Loved the show, loved the cast. Sad to see it go.
Loved this show. So sad to see it cancelled. Loved the cast.

I loved the show…you idiots!
My wife and I loved the show, please bring it back!
My husband and I were following the series and were disappointed when they stopped. We were hoping to see him eventually converted for real. But we laughed at the antics.
Comedy Central or FX should pick up Impastor. Funny like Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Laugh out loud comedy is hard to find on tv, so losing Impastor is a big loss.
SAD SAD SAD!!!! My wife and I loved it!
The script was most creative and where else did we ever laugh so much!
the cast was very impressive too. Can we watch re-runs?
Sad news indeed!!! My wife and I absolutely loved this TOO SHORT series. Impastor was easily one of my favorite sitcoms in the past 50 years, and I’m not exaggerating!!!
Please say it isn’t so…..netflix, pick this Comey up and restart it.
Sadly, TV Land shot themselves in the foot on this one. I loved Impastor, but not more than another show I watched in that time slot. I don’t have DVR, and TV Land didn’t re-air Impastor S2 throughout the week, like they did with S1, plus viewing through their app wasn’t an option through my (huge) cable provider. Sad to see it go, but I was never able to watch S2 anyway.
Very upset this show has been cancelled ! I love Impastor and everyone in the cast but my favorite is the Pastor ! It is the only show I look forward to seeing. I wish another network or Netflix would pick it up !
OMG! Seriously?! CANCELED?!?! This was the only TV show that made me actually laugh out loud! WHY!?!?! Smart writing, great timing. superb cast, hysterical, irreverent! How does complete trash like 2 Broke Girls still manage to get renewed!??!! Hopefully another network will scoop up this gem of a show! Very sad news!
So sad it isn’t coming back as we loved this show.
