If you've watched it, remember how "The Last Man on Earth" started off with a bang? That particular series took a totally new concept, and made the pilot episode exceptional by utilizing a brand of comedy that's both genre-savvy and satirically realistic. Well, the pilot episode of "Impastor", starring (and produced by) Michael Rosenbaum, achieves the same effect. The situation the main character (Buddy Dobbs) finds himself in is just as wacky as what happened with The Last Man on Earth, and just like it, keeps its characters grounded in realistic personalities and reactions. This serves to make Impastor's characters both believable and relatable. Now all Impastor has to do is to avoid doing what "The Last Man on Earth" did after two episodes: devolving into yet another sub-par sitcom with copious amounts of hammy overacting and clichéd lines. I just hope the Nielsen ratings system gives this series a chance.
