Critic Reviews

With Buddy's unorthodox ability to solve hid flock's problems, the sitcom flirts with comedy salvation. [10/17 Jul 2015, p.102]

Impastor weakens its good work by trying a bit too hard.

Buddy is the improbable antihero of a cheerfully improbable comedy. [13-26 Jul 2015, p.12]

The plot contortions required to keep this going are straight out of a cartoon, and they threaten to take some otherwise nice characters with them.

Impastor has a stronger­ point of view [than The Jim Gaffigan Show] but fewer laughs.

It’s mildly amusing.

Rosenbaum has an amusing moment or two, but nothing to make anyone grin with the stereotypical wideness of the church’s gay staffer. The marginally funnier stuff occurs away from the parish.

Impastor’s cleverest lines and riffs on religiosity are somewhat overwhelmed when the show gives in to temptation and becomes a zany caper

Generally too predictable and slight to merit much attention.

An occasionally funny new TV Land comedy.
