Last year, this series struggled in the ratings even by TV Land standards. Will the ratings for Impastor improve in season two? Will this comedy be cancelled or renewed for a third season? Stay tuned.
On Impastor, slacker Buddy Dobbs (Michael 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 regular castmembers are Sara Rue, Mircea Monroe, Mike Kosinski, and David Rasche. Recurring are Aimee Garcia, Matthew Kevin Anderson, Jonathon Young, Lindsey Gort, Hal Ozsan, and Bonita Friedericy.
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 third season on TV Land?
Renew for 3rd season!! Wish there was more episodes! Very well done!!
I want season 3. I love this show more than anything.
Fantastic show! One of the best on tv!
I love this show. Please we have to have a 3rd season !!!!
LUV THIS SHOW!!!! I watch the episodes almost daily… can’t wait for Season 3. Please say there will be one …:)
I Love this show I bought both seasons and rewatch it everyday. It is perfect to watch with dinner it is about 20 minutes for each episode and the last episode of season two I need to see the next one
I love the show, watching how he gets out of each situation. I watch it every Wednesday. Definitely renew this show
I really enjoy this show. I didn’t even know about it until season 2 was almost over. I really hope it doesn’t get cancelled. It seems like most shows I like, get cancelled too soon.
My wife and I love this show. Please renew. It is one of our favorite shows. Very well done, and interesting. Got to know what is going to happen next!
I love it…Impastor is one of the very few shows I watch. Plus anything Million Moms boycotts has to be good!
Yes!! Please, please, please give me a season 3. Very clever writing with a great cast that just blend together so well. Although I’m a Lutheran who doesn’t “do joy” and “tops off at quietly content” this show makes me exceedingly content each week. More, more.
Absolutely love this show. A stellar cast! Great fun!
This show is a sleeper. I record it and watch it later because of its 10:30 PM time slot. It needs to be on earlier so that this show can catch on.
Definitely renew.
They also have to think about the viewers on the West coast
I think this show is fantastic, and funny as hell. Definitely more funny than most network comedies. Please publicize this show and give it a chance.
Obviously TV Land’s decision to move back Impastor and turn it from a summer show to the competitive fall lineup wasn’t the best one… I actually haven’t watched any of S2 yet, but I rly enjoyed S1… It’s just that there is soooo many different shows to watch in the fall (new/returning) that some, especially on an off-beat cable channel, get swept under the rug. Hope these numbers improve with time. =\
Helllooo…watch it anytime on on demand..or dvr it..
It’s GREAT!!
