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 love this show! Funniest show since Seinfeld. Great cast and story lines. Please bring it back, it wasn’t given a fair chance!
I’m so disappointed to find that there’s no season 3. I’ve loved this show!! Please reconsider doing at least another season of Impastor!!!
I cant believe that this show was cancelled it was really entertaining I am looking forward to the next season I doesn’t matter if it will be on rotten tomatoes I will still watch it to the end
I couldn’t agree with you more, on BOTH counts! The show was EXTREMELY entertaining and whoever (individually or collectively) was responsible for its cancellation had EX-
TREMELY poor judgement.
Stay safe out there and keep wearing those masks, PLEASE!
A very entertaining show. I’m not surprised that it was cancelled; your average TV executive has the discernment of a troglodyte.
For certain, it was an extremely funny and clever sitcom. Maybe some day?!!!
I loved this show. It was super funny, the plot was great and the characters where very witty. I looked forward to watching it all the time. I was very disappointed when it was canceled. Please bring it back. I was just getting other people into watching it also. It was just in it’s early peak but really was about to grow.
I couldn’t agree with you any more strongly! Impastor was a GREAT show while it lasted. My wife and I really looked forward to watching each new episode as it aired.
It absolutely should not have been canceled
wow!! first we lose Sledge Hammer, and now this fantastic show!!! why are they getting rid of quality content??
I thought Impastor was extremely funny. I really enjoyed the characters. They were eccentric yet still believable. Great cast. I can’t wait to see what they each do next.
We loved it …. told everyone to watch it ……. couldn’t wait to the next season thought the season should be longer. bring it back!
