Impastor (TV Land) -- Series Thread -- S: Michael Rosenbaum
"Impastor" is a dark comedy from Christopher Vane ("Wings") starring Michael Rosenbaum as Buddy Dobbs, a slacker on the run from his gambling debt. Just when he's about to end his misery and jump off a bridge, a reverend shows up and talks him down. When the reverend slips off the bridge and falls to his death, he leaves Buddy with the unlikely opportunity to steal the man's identity and pose as the new gay pastor of a small, tight-knight town, leaving 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) - but the 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 façade. "Impastor" is executive produced by Vane and Rosenbaum, along with Eric and Kim Tannenbaum ("Two and a Half Men") and Rob Greenberg ("How I Met Your Mother").

I really enjoyed this - thought it was a great set-up for a series. Him pretending to be a pastor is funny enough, but gay too?
I was surprised the guys found him at the end. That seemed kind of quick. I wonder how they are going to stretch that out. I liked the idea of him hiding out in a little town for awhile.

Great first episode.
Didn't see that opening on the bridge coming.
The preview for the season looks like it'll be a lot of fun.

Watched the pilot and enjoyed it. The gay part was probably inspired by real life stories of openly gay Lutheran and Episcopalian ministers. This show has a Sister Act/Nuns On The Run type vibe, but works well as a dark sitcom.

Episode 2 was great also.
"i'll pray for them."
"Why? We're Lutherans - we don't pray for the dead."
"Yeah, you're right - f them."
