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.

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?
Great show. My favorite from the very beginning. Obviously, I hope they renew it. However, I thought that the last episode was horrible. Very disappointed in the way it ended.
We have to tell @tvland how much we enjoy @impastor. We need to RT and pass it along every chance we get. ALWAYS use @tvland and #Impastor. The fans are the only one who can save this quirky comedy
I think it is a different kind of show. I have really enjoyed watching it and love Michael Rosenbaum. The cast is great and there is still a lot if potential to go far while still sticking with the premise of the show. Please renew for another season. The more we know about and delve into the characters’ lives and the personality of the town itself, the more interesting the show becomes.
I first watched the pilot at the end of season 2. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of it. I quickly watched the 1st & 2nd season (all in two days). A great show! Season 3 is a must do!
Do not cancel Impastor! Air season three ASAP! This show is a hoot! Great writing! Lovable characters! Captivating plot twists! Very funny! Very entertaining! I wish it were an hour show and with more episodes per season than only 10. I’m speaking for my husband and me.
One of the best shows on television. Looking forward to Season Three. And Season Four. I love it!
Impastor is a great show, it should have season 3. It is funny off the wall humor,.
It could use upgrading but I really love this show and it should stay on the air.
Love the show. PLEASE give us season 3 and 4 and more. Can’t leave us hanging!!!!!!!
It’s the best 1/2 hour program on tv!No canned laughter-clever story lines.I bet God even gets a belly laugh watching.
Hope to see a season 3 with Buddy, Dora, Alexa, Alden, & etc A great ensemble cast!
Yes…yes…yes…renew..renew..renew
Love the show. Definite for season 3.
Trash it. Does not respect the Lord.
It’s a comedy!! Why are you watching it and reading this article if it disrespects the Lord? Keep watching The 700 Club and we’ll continue to watch Impastor…hopefully.
You go Yogi!!!!!!! I’m with you.
