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.
8/31 update: The Jim Gaffigan Show and Impastor have both been renewed for second seasons.

What do you think? Do you like the Impastor TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I think the show is well done, and the acting is exellent. The show is hilarous!!!!
I was looking forward to more shows. Alas, the season finale is tomarrow .
Give us more!!! Lot’s more!!!
Love this show! If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Keep them coming! Look forward to new episodes. Yay!
Ah, the ” Religious Right “, so easy for them to condemn ANYTHING they don’t understand or want to TRY to fit into their little narrow mind – set. That’s why they think Christianity is trying to kiss – up to Jesus rather than study & FOLLOW his teachings. Oh, & to condemn any / everyone who doesn’t believe exactly as they do.
Personally I think whoever does the ratings is not doing their job, because Impastor is BY FAR one of the funniest shows i’ve seen in a very long time! I look forward each week to watch it & it really makes me laugh continuously. Michael Rosenbaum was great in his serious Lex Luthor (Smallville) role and surprisingly just as great in his comedic role in Impastor. I sincerely hope to see a 2nd season & will be impatiently waiting to hear of the shows future. I’ve told my family, who all live in another state, about Impastor & they all… Read more »
need more action I like it bud need more speed (6% boring
This is without a doubt, one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen (60 yr old female). The only thing that is wrong is the networks it is on, and the show it follows (Jim Gaffingan). I’m offended by the ads for Jim Gaffigan, and find it a complete turn off. Impastor following at 10:30, is like putting a nail in the coffin.
I will be disappointed and offended if this show is not renewed.
OMG! This is the dumbest show ever!!!
Renew!!! Funny as hell!
Cancel! Impastor is so stupid!
I don’t like either Show. They are stupid and .And I think The impastor show is a Mockery of God. We need a lot More family movie’s.
All those who say this is a stupid tv-series,
they have probably who signed the petition against the it (AFA)
Calm down, you “work-church” people and of course without sin ;))
RENEW
Not offended on the religious aspect, but morals are deplorable! Guess that’s what the public wants nowadays. Disgusting!
Great show! How can anyone be offended, it’s a comedy people! Do we remember the Whoopie Goldberg mega-hit SISTER ACT? And SISTER ACT2! She was a casino lounge singer pretending to be a nun! This is the same type story but updated for our time! SO LIGHTEN UP!!
I agree Rob, people really need to lighten up! Its a show for crying out loud, people today seem to complain about any little thing, probably because they just like to complain!
Mike, Helen, ThisIsNotMyRealName – Michael Rosenbaum said in an interview that he knows 2 pastors & neither of them were offended by it. Still, especially in the Bible Belt, religion is a ” Sacred Cow ” 🙂 & you can expect heaps of indignation from the hyper – religious folks who feel that God has no sense of humour, so they shouldn’t either. They need to pull the stick out once in a while. There are also some who think imagination & creativity are EVIL. What kind of world would we have if they were in charge ? Joyless, colorless,… Read more »
Love this show, I live in the Bible Belt , and I rather laugh than be constipated over religion and burning in hell…
Renew. Love the pastor..he is a lot of fun.
Not offended by religion.
Good fun, entertaining show.
Some of the people here really need to chill out! This show is HARDLY religious and the jokes that are couldn’t possibly get any freaking lighter than they currently are. Learn to laugh at yourselves! Life is way too short to take things so seriously! Oh, and to the person wondering what’s so funny about hanging out in a coffin – have you EVER heard of a dark comedy? That’s what this is. Laughing at inappropriate stuff is fun. Try it sometime. RENEW!!!!
Nicely put!
