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?
We love better late than never . Please bring it back !!! It is the funniest show on any channel
I;m from the U.K. BLTN is one of the few entertainment/comedy shows from America of the last few years that I have liked. Shame on NBC.
What a shock! Typical, one of the few good American series of late, and they cancel it. I’m in the U.K. and I love it.
NBC Executives your idiot’s!! Every time there is a show that is actually funny, you cancel it to show more depressing shows dealing with crimes, murder and stupid ass sports. Dumbasses!
You really messed this up NBC this was a great show!!!!!
You really messed up NBC this was a great show!!!
Booooooo!!!!! NBC this has to be the worst decision you have ever made!!!! The only show that made me laugh all the way through. You guys REALLY screwed up!now I have no reason to watch NBC 🙁
WORST DECISION EVER!!!!!!!! This show is the only one to make us laugh out loud in years. NBC you BLEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh !!! Please bring back this show!! It was absolutely wonderful too have an hour of pure delight. Theses Men were hysterical and so very sweet. The interaction between the Men had so many lessons on what true friendship should be. Please during the current times it is great to have an hour of happiness!! Debbie Tallahassee, Fl.
This truly bites. Absolutely loved this show. Hoping another network picks this up
So sad, one of the best shows around. Thanks for all the laughter . You should pitch it to another network.
I am over in the U.K. and they have just finished showing the series 2 of Beter late then Never. One of the best programmes ever , we laugh all the time at their antics brilliant show. So sick of the reality shows they put on all the time it was nice to have a real good programme to watch. So gutted would complain if I new how and where. Typical tv stations just because the younger generation don’t watch it’s not all about them.
Please bring back Better late than never.We loved this show great fun and entertainment
It is truly sad that age demographics under 45 are deciding the fate of this show, as the fans over this age like myself is upset of not having something we can watch without all the violence and sex in your face.
I am hoping another network will pick this up, “Shame on NBC”!
I have to disagree. I’m 44 and I absolutely love this show. I grew up watching all these guys . I really hope they pitch it to another network and bring it back. It’s awesome. I laughed the whole way through.
My husband and I looked forward to this show every week.
These guys kept us laughing. Come on. Bring them back! Hey guys,
Just take your show to another network! We’ll watch.
Seriously, Better Late than Never was THE ONLY show we watched
On NBC! I’ll miss all of you guys being together. NBC
I will not miss you!!
