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?
That sucks! It was the funniest show on TV! You guys are ridiculous at NBC! I would cry and my stomach would hurt I would laugh so loud!
I am so upset Better Late Than Never has been cancelled! Love the positive, crazy, witty, absolute fun this show brings! Other truly awful reality shows with fighting, back biting, whining, self centered participants go on for years. If the actors are willing, PLEASE bring BLTN back!
I am very sad about this show’s cancellation. I’m hoping that Henry Winkler’s Emmy win might resurrect it.
I wish NBC would not cancke the show, IT WAS / IS GREAT. I could not wait for the show to come on and really enjoyed the antics of the guys..Come on NBC, really…give the viewer’s what we want..
I am so tired of the great shows being cancelled, but the stupid reality shows like housewives and the bachelor staying on!! Better Late Than Never was awesome!!!
Great show! Never laughed so much! The cast was terrific, ALL of them!!! ❤️
Great show and cast. Can’t believe it was cancelled.
This was one of the most honest and entertaining shows on tv. So disappointed that it won’t be on anymore.
Sooo disappointed. My husband and I love this show. So much better than most of the reality junk on tv today. Please reconsider.
This sucks!!!! My husband and I loved this show!! Why cancel?????? Best show on in a long time. Was it because the guys didn’t want to continue? ☹️☹️
Noooooooooo!!!
My husband and I LOVED this show. It was funny, heartfelt and inspiring for all! So disappointed that it was not renewed for season 3 – we’d been looking forward to it.
So hate to see that better late than never is cancelled. When I want to look at something and have a good laugh I watch this show on demand.
I love this show and I am sick that it is cancelled. With all the other crap on t.v they couldn’t leave this one alone. Very disappointing.
I laughed so hard at times I cried ! I loved this show. Too bad something good comes along and the powers that be take it away.
This was, essentially, the only show I watched on TV…so….bye. Shame, it was a good one.
