In case you missed it, TV Land cancelled the Impastor TV show after only two seasons. The sitcom starred Michael Rosenbaum as Buddy Dobbs, a slacker on the run to evade his gambling debts. Thanks to some “divine intervention” Buddy assumes the identity of a small town pastor. Sara Rue, Mircea Monroe, Mike Kosinski, and David Rasche also starred.
While Impastor‘s numbers were never strong, the season two ratings were particularly anemic. By the end of its second and final season, Impastor averaged a .08 in the 18-49 demographic and drew an average total audience of just 362,000 viewers. In comparison, Impastor season one averaged a 0.11 in the demo and 456,000 viewers.
The show was not without its fans, however. On Rotten Tomatoes, Impastor has an 89% audience approval rating. Would you have watched a third season of Impastor on TV Land?

Just happened to think today, “whatever happened to that show about the guy pretending to be a minister?” Looked it up and found this out. I will say this, I don’t ever plan on watching another new TVLand show again. I will finish out watching Younger, but that’s it. I am sick to death of the powers that be not giving any closure to audiences. Ok, so cancel the season, but at least offer a 2 hour special to wrap things up. A limited run of eps. Something. Anything! Don’t end on a flippin cliffhanger!!! This sort of thing makes… Read more »
Thoroughly enjoyed Impastor! Very disappointed in it’s cancellation. A fun storyline which should have continued!
A Very Good Show, SO Creative, & FRESH\NEW!…STUPIDITY TO “Cancel”…WHY? WHAT “Better” Option DO YOU HAVE!?…RERUNS!!!
i wish you had”nt callanced the show me and my husband watched it every week looked forward to watching it. you really need to reconsider and put it back on. come on people
I enjoyed the show very much and I’m so disappointed that it was cancelled. It was one of the best comedies on tv. I miss the show and it’s unique humor. Please reconsider your decision to cancel and bring it back……I need a good laugh!
It was an awesome show. So funny and distinctly different from anything else on. Needed more promotion. Too many of my friends had never heard of it. But, they did a great job acting out the story line. I will miss it dearly.
Very much was looking forward to Season 3. Would definitely have watched end to end. Also, I firmly echo a previous post that said little to no advertising benefitted the show – had it been better marketed, much more likely there’d have been a case for renewal. Terribly sad and WAY disappointing that TV Land did essentially nothing to make sure people knew it was coming, or was playing. To exemplify the marketing defect, I’d never heard of it until one random channel surf iteration exposed it – and even that was terribly useless, coming during the last half of… Read more »
This was my most favorite show hands down. So incredably creative, I was shocked to see it go…BRING IT BACK!!!!!
There are four of us who vote to bring back Impastor–PLEASE. We loved it!
I am so pissed, I loved that show, it was one of the few shows I would watch that does not include Animal planet, discovery, Sports channels. Well what happens next, I guess I could only think and imagine what happens next. It was really a great show, I have waited a whole year, really excited to see what finally happens and hear this crap!!! Can theyput it back on, maybe a different time or something like that. It was one of a few shows I acctually enjoyed watching. I guess we can watch a life with 19 and a… Read more »
