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?
Can’t believe tthe execs @NBC can cancel one of the best “reality” tv programs out. The guys were funny & seemed to be genuinely enjoying the adventure. Now we are just stuck with the survivor race naked afraid crude. Here’s hoping someone @ NBCstudio gets a brain. Chech w/scarecrow.. Sure he can tell ya where to p/u.
I’m so saddened to learn BLTN isn’t returning. NBC was wrong to cancel.
Why would you cancel a show that makes us laugh? This is so disappointing to me. This world is upsetting these days and I need laughter! Please reconsider putting this very funny show back on.
So disappointed. Loved Better Late Than Never… My friends and I were very surprise to see the show cancelled. We’re all crossing our fingers to see if another/ or the same network will pick them up! That was a good way to get a much of neighbors together!
Loved it.
Very sad there will not be a 3rd season. Better Late Than Never was a great show. I was really looking forward to a new season. Crossing my fingers that another network will pick it up.
Please bring it back!!!!
What does it take to get this show back for a season 3? It seems as though the websites that rate movies and TV shows gave it high ratings. C’mon guys. Realize a lot of folks want more seasons.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER NEEDS TO COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!fun wholesome good time show. We need many more seasons of this!!!!
We love this show! Can’t believe it was canceled. It was the best comedy on TV!!!!!!!!
Yes .. I love this show … please put it back on
I am heart broken!! I feel if NBC would have done a better job letting the viewers know when the season started there’s wouldn’t have been the drop. The mix of guys as individuals , the mix of ages, the type of humor and emotions added to this show as being spectacular!!! Everyone I talked to about the show have nothing but kudos to give!!! This is a mistake NBC as this was the best reality TV show out there! Bring it back!!
so very true. same here. better than shows you did keep.
Better late then never was one of the funniest shows on NBC. It was an entertaining show without a lot of violence and bloodshed. I can’t believe they won’t do a 3rd season. Was looking forward to it. I hope another station picks it up. Loved those guys and their experiences. It was genuine.
Sad! Great funny show that always had a good underlying story. We were searching to see when it comes back. Boo
