TV show description:
A dark comedy, this TV show revolves around a slacker who’s on the run from his gambling debt when he gets some divine intervention.
Buddy Dobbs (Michael Rosenbaum) is about to end his misery and jump off a bridge when Reverend Jonathan Barlow shows up and to talk him down. The reverend slips off the bridge and falls to his death so Buddy is left with the unlikely opportunity to steal the man’s identity. He ends up posing as the new gay pastor of the Trinity Lutheran Church in the small, tight-knight town of Ladner.
This leaves his bartender ex-girlfriend Leanne (Aimee Garcia) to clean up the huge mess he left behind. Buddy begins to settle into his new life as a pastor with the help of his preppy new assistant Dora (Sara Rue), alluring church treasurer Alexa (Mircea Monroe) and enthusiastic secretary Russell (Mike Kosinski). However, church president Alden Schmidt (David Rasche) senses that something isn’t quite right.
Curing sex crazed teenagers, stealing kids’ weed and reading Bible scripture may not be a bad gig for Buddy after all. Only time will tell how long he can keep up the facade.
Episode #20 — Thy Neighbor’s Wife
Buddy deals with the shocking arrival of Alexa’s husband. Dora makes a frightening discovery. Schmidt’s engagement party takes an unexpected turn.
First aired: December 7, 2016.
What do you think? Do you like the Impastor TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I am absolutely sick that TV Land decided to cancel one of the most cleverly written comedy shows in decades! I will miss this creative show with its fantastic actors. Shame on the Executives who made the decision. Boycotting TV Land!
Impastor was the best!!! Finally something clever. The people that make these decisions have no sense!
Of course the ratings were bad, IT’S ON TVLAND!!!! YOU HAVE NO GOOD RATINGS!!! If this show were on network tv, it would have killed it with ratings! Great comedy, great twists, sexy, smart, unique and creative! WTF is wrong with these tv executives……..
Bring impastor back. Great show!
It always happens, The good die young. I loved the show. It was very good. I was looking forward to season 3.
I am disappointed that a well written, acted and unique show like this gets cancelled while dumb shows with no substance (like 2 Broke Girls) continue on. I don’t get it.
Just heard that Impastor has been cancelled. So sad I really loved it….and we have been left with a big cliffhanger too. Maybe Hulu or Netflix will pick it up for renewal …..please!!
I think the show should have had a 3rd season or more. Please bring It back or sell the rights so someone else can continue the show.
Please bring back the Impastor best show on TVLand
Please bring back The Impastor the best show on TVLand
I’m very disappointed and even angry that the Impastor has been cancelled. Please bring it back.
Looked forward to watching the best show of the year please bring it back !
The best show on TV 2016 hands down. please renewed for 3rd season
Sorry to see this show go. I really loved the episodes. All so very funny.
Another great show cancelled. Sad to see it go.
