    The stressed out fast comedy here is genuine and so laughable ... if stayed on the same rhythm i'm expecting a huge possibility of renewals ..

    Nice Sitcom by TV Land ,, and honestly i kinda expected it to be the minute i knew it's a TV Land series ,, they are getting a near 100% success on their Sitcoms in the last 5 years.

    The Idea of the series is new and genuinely fresh, the plot is perfectly flowing ,, and the comedy is organised, direct and so spot on . and sure presenting a dangerously stressed out fast comedy by "Buddy" is really laughable and worth giving attention to..all of these tangled scams he makes !!! i literally could watch a whole season in one day and not even pause for a second.

    The casting is good, Michael Rosenbaum is really funny haven't seen him on TV since "Breaking In" three years ago and he's known from "Smallville" but in the movie industry he wasn't that active "thank god for that" so we could see him here.. Sara Rue, Mircea Monroe, David Rasche and everyone in the cast they all had an applaudable pilot.

    Overall,, as the pilot went fine and here i'm also done with the second episode and it is staying strongly on the same level of hilariousness , so i'm expecting a really boosting season with great possibility of renewal for a multi-seasons.

    Genuinely an enjoyable & funny show.

    I decided to give it 9 out of 10 because it only had 2 seasons & needed more.

    The only shame about the show was it was cancelled after season 2 ( especially on a cliff hanger, as every show that is cancelled should be given 6 more episodes to tie up storylines & give the loyal viewing audience closure of the characters ). The Hollywood reporter quote; "TV Land is parting ways with Impastor. The single-camera comedy starring Michael Rosenbaum has been canceled after two seasons on the Viacom-owned cable network." NOW IF I SEE SOMETHING FROM "TV LAND or VIACOM I THINK TO MYSELF THESE ORGANISATIONS DO NOT REALLY CARE ABOUT THE CONSUMER, JUST THE BOTTOM LINE. NETWORKS AND COMPANIES NEED TO BUILD THEIR BRANDS BY PROVING THEY CAN BE TRUSTED TO GIVE CLOSURE ON THEIR TV SHOWS... as no problem if you need to cancel a show but do it in the right way as give the show 6+ more episodes to thank the loyal audience please.

    If anyone wants a great new show then buy the rights to "impastor" if you can get the main actors on board, as this is a potential hit show if it is marketed correctly as after watching 2 seasons of this comedy I can tell you it is a truly great show.

    Easy and Funny Watching

    I saw this on PRIME and thought it was new....sadly it is not and it ends with a total cliffhanger and no season 3. I liked it. Is it genius TV? No, but it is easy to watch and had some good laughs.

    Take with a Generous Laugh!

    Original and Funny; Impastor airs Wednesday evenings on TV Land. Actor, Executive Producer Michael Rosenbaum poses as the main character who is a gay Lutheran Pastor. Most of the cast including him I haven't seen before but they enrich his entertaining performance. Theater, film and television actor David Rasche as the uptight Aiden Schmidt is perhaps the most familiar as he was in the sitcom Sledge Hammer. He has appeared in many shows over his long career. Growing up Lutheran many of the stories and characters ring right and are drawn with delightful exaggeration. In this day and age of a very present LGBT ambiance it's important to give viewers the credibility of gay characters regardless if they are serious or funny. Impastor succeeds in spades.

    Awesome Comedy Series

    Impastor is one of my most favorite TV shows these days. I love all the characters and they are doing a mighty awesome job. The script, the acting and the characters are brilliant to say the least. Michael Rosenbaum, Sara Rue, Mircea Monroe etc every one is doing justice to their roles in the best way possible.

    It's always funny to see Michael Rosenbaum trying to run away when he fears he is going to get caught but at the end he gets away easily. It's a must watch comedy show if you like comedy.

    I am a huge fan of comedy shows/sitcoms and Impastor is one of those shows i would be sad to see ending in the future.

    P.S: I hope this show doesn't get cancelled.
