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?
This show was great! So funny and enjoyable! A real shame it was cancelled. There is a lot more junk on tv that needs to be cancelled before this one!
Great show, very entertaining. Another great show canceled. These networks have no idea of what the public wants.
I am devastated!! I looked forward to every episode. I never laughed so hard in my life!
Immense loss.
Undoubtedly NBC has made up theirs mind for the WHOLE viewing audience. Very sadden that NBC cancelled Better Late Than Never because of some “younger viewers” & the baby boomers don’t count at all. BLTN was one of the few shows I watched on NBC & several folks in my town feels the same way. Guess we’ll have to switch to only CBS & ABC….again! Thanks for making a lot of nationwide viewers extremely disappointed in your decision. Sincerely, Daphne Graves from Texas!
That stinks it was hilarious . You did hardly any promotions for it nowonder . It was only 8 episodes a year. It was so worth the wait. Please try again
Another great show bites the dust! I just looked up the return schedule & find its cancelled!! This show kept me laughing! These guys are my age!! 70 next year & it Was great to see oldsters like me & my crowd having so much fun around the world!!! Remember NBC!! Us oldsters make up the majority of your viewers!! Were living longer & love TV! Bring Better Late Than Never to keep us happy!

NBC made a terrible decision to cancel this program. This was the funniest show. We looked forward to watching every time it came on. Laughed from beginning to end. Getting tired of watching all the reality shows. This show was different and you could tell they all had a great time filming it. BIG MISTAKE NBC!!
