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 really liked this show and was very disappointed that it was cancelled.
I absolutely loved this show…..all the good ones disappear
In a relatively short period of time, Impastor became my favorite sitcom! I guess there weren’t enough of “us” out there that felt as strongly about the show. It is a
shame that it wasn’t renewed for at least one more season
I loved the show !!!Bring it back! I thought it was a great spin on looking at how life is not perfect and Buddy proved you can laugh at anything.
We loved this show! Grrrrrr. Bring it back.
what the heck. Have been waiting all summer for this show. Why would you cancel a great show like this. I am so dine with TVLand right now. You keep shooting yourself in the foot
Absolutely loved Impastor. I think it is a shame they cancelled it. Please bring it back.
Yes I loved the show!! Was waiting on a season three!! It bums me out now!!
GREAT show , miss it a lot .
Very funny show that I could not wait to see.Strange to see how some shows make it year after year and they are not even close to being as funny as Impastor.This was a stupid decision to cancel it.
It’s a shame it was cancelled. There were a lot of us that loved it!!!
