Actor Michael Rosenbaum had a long run on the Smallville TV show in a dramatic role. How will his new Impastor comedy series perform in the ratings for TV Land? Will the show be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On Impastor, slacker Buddy Dobbs (Rosenbaum) has a big gambling debt and is about to jump off a bridge to kill himself. A reverend happens by and tries to stop him. When the pastor accidentally falls to his doom, Buddy is left with the unlikely opportunity to steal the man’s identity. The rest of the cast includes Aimee Garcia, Sara Rue, Mircea Monroe, Mike Kosinski, and David Rasche.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like the Impastor TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Come on folks there is something wrong if you find this extremely funny show offensive!! It is funny, current with good acting and writing! It is a comedy shown at night not a sermon Sunday morning! DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW!!!
Impastor…..Cancel it!
I really like it. It’s witty and slightly irreverent. Keep it on the air.
This has to be one of the most offensive shows I’ve ever seen. What’s funny about stealing a necklace off of a corpse? Returning the necklace and dropping it in the cleavage – going in after it and then getting in the casket with the corpse?
They have the potential for a funny show but they need new writers because feeling up a corpse is not funny.
This is horrible a true disgrace. I almost feel sorry for anyone who finds this kind of programming funny.I guess i should not be surprised dukes of hazzard evil this garbage entertaining got it!
Cancel it. It is stupid and offensive.
Hate this show, can’t even stand the promotion ad. I have to change the channel, I find it disgustingly offensive and not funny. I hope it gets
canceled. It’s nothing more than junk.
Absolutely love the Impastor!!! One of the funniest shows on tv!
I love this show. I grew up a Christian and have worked in a church full & part time for the majority of my life. I am also gay and this is the first comedy I have laughed out loud (well, at least the first two episodes). I NEVER laugh when home watching TV. The premise is really clever and the church committee represents all the church stereotypes. I love the references of boring Lutherans!
A pure disgrace… TV Land is in LaLa Land. Shameful.
Scripture says to avoid all appearances of evil and not to take part in unfruitful works of darkness. A Christian should keep his or her thoughts clean before the Lord. “Be careful little eyes what you see, be careful little ears what you hear, for the Father up above is looking down below…”
Stop all the phoney bible talk PLEASE! ITs A SHOW, and FUNNY!!!
To cancel Impastor would be a travesty. This is an excellent, funny, well-written comedy. Yes, the show makes fun of Christianity, but it’s okay. The show also outlines the difference between right and wrong and how sometimes there’s a gray area. People take themselves way too seriously sometimes. It is a fictitious little television comedy. It’s not a religious documentary. The show is funny and it provides comedic relief and I enjoy it..I’m a Christian and I enjoy it and I’m not offended by it. Please don’t cancel my favorite new show!
sSch a great show. My new favorite. Have been spreading the word to everyone
Disgusting show with oral sex and other Imorality. TV Land should be ashamed.
Impastor mocks Christianity. In the 70s, there was “Amen” and that was done in a respectful manner. TV-Land would not mock islam! Let’s have a “constructive discussion.”
Well said. Why is there never a show making fun of Islam? Gutless T.V.
Ok lets have a constructive discussion: STOP PLAYING THE RELIGION ROLE AS IF YOU REALLY CARE….AND GO TO SLEEP!
Funny new show-been passing the word!
I lL0VE the Impastor and Michael Rosebaum..it’s witty and he’s a good actor..love His smirky charisma. He’s very sexy. Sara Rue is really good too. It’s a unique concept.. Insteadbofvthe same old comedy shows.
I am 43 Yrs old..and my sister is 60 and adores this show as well as my 24 yr old nice! So it suits all ages.
RENEW IT!!!
