It looks like the vacation is over. Recently, Jeff Dye confirmed that NBC has cancelled Better Late Than Never after two seasons.
The reality show follows Henry Winkler, William Shatner, Terry Bradshaw, and George Foreman as they travel the world with both help and misdirection from tech-savvy comedian Jeff Dye.
On Twitter, Dye revealed NBC has decided not to renew Better Late Than Never. The series wrapped its second season in February with an average rating of .91 in the 18-49 demo and 4.819 million viewers. That’s a nearly 40% drop in ratings from season one.

What do you think? Have you seen Better Late Than Never? Are you sad it’s been cancelled?
Love the show, could never find it. Had to watch on demand. Bring it back !! So much crap on and you cancel one of the few good one….
We LOVED Better Late than Never! If it had a ratings drop it was because people could never find it in the tv schedule. This was a. great show, super funny and good clean family humour! We need more shows like this and Winkler produced something that had us in stitches every week. Please rethink the cancellation , we need good TV that makes us happy, makes us appreciate the world and enjoy friends at any age. Bring it back PLEASE!
Agree
Bring this show back! It was great T.V. with the best cast. Big mistake in cancelling.
Loved this show. What is wrong with NBC. I never laughed so much. Such a pleasure to watch something that makes you smile. 5 of the best characters ever that starred in this show.
V good show. Novel. Interesting. Real. Fun. NBC: bring it back!
I loved this show!! Was not advertised or promoted very well but was funniest thing I have ever seen!! These icons are great together!! NBC needs to rethink cancelling this show!!
Enjoyed the show! Was looking forward to season 3. Good family show.
I love this show!!! NBC you did a horrible job advertising this show. Bring it back. I looked forward to season 3!!!
This was an awesome show encompassing a variety of different people from varied backgrounds and ages. It’s exactly what we need right now in this country. Showing we can just be friends where age race or beliefs just don’t matter. Clean funny make you cry laughter that everyone could watch together. What we need right now KINDNESS!
I loved this Show!! Once again NBC makes a huge mistake.
That’s too bad. I personally liked the feel of the show. Good clean fun and laughs. I guess there just wasn’t enough violence in the show for the execs. Hopefully another network will see it for the gem that it was and pick it up!
Sad to see Better Late Than Never cancelled. I thought it was a great show….good laughs, good times. Maybe NBC will reconsider? Or maybe it can be picked up by another channel?
Sure would love to watch more episodes
Watched first season and currently watching season 2 here in the UK. Great fun. Laugh out loud funny. Sad to hear it’s been cancelled. Shame as the guys are a quality watch. Hope somebody has the sense to pick it up. Big fan.
I loved this show….very funny and heart warmi ng
This is so sad I loved this show, it was funny, heartwarming and inspirational. I loved it so much I made sure to recommend it to my friends. Please bring it back….we need shows like this these days. Maybe another network idk but it’s too good to be gone, just sad.
I agree with the above comment. I will miss it!!!!!
