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?
Please do not cancel Better Late Than Never! It was one of the best shows on TV! Real guys, no script. Pure fun. My Mom and I loved it! We are heartbroken.
Bring it back the guys are great very funny
Better late than never was one of the most fun shows I have seen. Why would you cancel it. Please put on again, so some of us can live our life through other people’s adventures and travels. Great show. Love all the stars.
This was a great show. These guys were hilarious together. So much better than most of the crap on TV these days!
This was one of the best shows on tv! Have you tried moving to another network? These guys were great together.
No please don’t cancel this show it was the funniest show on TV it is so good we watched all of them PLEASE DONT CANCEL this Show!!BRING it BACKING please!
I’m so sad that the show is going to be canceled. Me and my lady’s friends love watching it we think it’s a steric all please bring it back
This is a travesty!! I don’t usually watch comedy but this had me laughing from start to finish. Why do all the decent shows get cancelled and the reality **** goes on and on
I am very upset that better late than never has been canceled. It was one of the funniest shows on television, hands down. I know the ages of the cast can be an issue but it sounded like everybody was game for another year but not NBC. Bring it back, even in a summer replacement spot.
I love better late than never I laughed for the whole hour. Bring it back
So sad to see Better Late then Never cancelled! That show made my friend and I laugh so much. My friend told me she had never seen me laugh so hard, such a shame that a funny show like this was cancelled!
Those guys together were so funny, but there were many heartwarming moments also.
Loved the show and ready for a season 3. Come on NBC. Rethink this cancelation.
Very, very sad to hear Better Late Than Never has been canceled. One of the funniest shows on tv. We would still be laughing after the show was over. And the chemistry amongst the stars was amazing. They seemed like the best of friends. Also learned a lot from the different locations. We all hope you rethink the cancellation of this show.
My 16 year old son and I love this show. I love the chemistry of the guys and it’s so funny. Please reconsider or some other network pick it up.
It had great potential but it seemed too scripted, at least when it came to the, IMO, arrogant Jeff Dye, who although seemingly the weakest “man” among the men was their apparent leader, which seems rather disingenuous and uncalled-for. Henry boy, seemed to me like a slinking, creepy, treacherous, self-important, deceptive little snake who seemed to embarrass himself more often than those he seems to have set out to embarrass. The always arrogant and obnoxious Terry Bradshaw did little to help the show. And the ever slumbering, holier-than-thou, George Foreman needs to lay off the fat and swine—maybe that’d cure… Read more »
Please, please bring back the show with a new destination. This is the only show besides AGT (NBC) show that my family and I enjoyed watching together. I “On Demand” the show and will keep my hopes up for a new season. I love all of the guys, great chemistry, a real friendship that I haven’t seen in years without a script.
