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?
I kept waiting for season 3 but it never came. NBC should at least do 1 more season with “The Fab 5” traveling around America, starting at my friend Kenny’s crawfish boil. What do you say NBC?
Please bring back Better Late Than Never. There is nothing decent to watch these days and this show is one of a kind. I can’t remember the last time I belly laughed at a TV show or movie like we did at this show. Does NBC just look for ways to disappoint viewers? Seriously people just bring the show back. Or one of the smarter stations could pick it up. Hey FOX make some room for another one!
Please bring back Better Late Than Ever!!! What a breath of fresh air watching something light hearted, clean and funny but filled with laughter. I started watching this show at 49 and loved it!!! My Dad , 87 started watching it after a hard day at dialysis and he could relate to icons George Foreman, et al. And I am a Big William Shatner and George Foreman fan, who is from Texas like me. My entire family loved the mix in characters and the quirky fun they experienced weekly! Get rid of the trashy shows and go with the classy… Read more »
This was great entertainment. These 5 guys were spontaneous to things around them, which made it funny. Terry Bradshaw is off the hook, you have William Shatner with those looks on his face that were priceless when things got kinda weird. Too bad…..
This is heartbreaking, I was wondering what happened and if there’d be another one, and I looked this up and just started off my 2019 with the sads. I loved this show! Bring it back!
I love Better Late Then Never its hysterical. I love the fivesome dynamics. Just because NBC cant see it, we should still have the privilege! Maybe i should ban NBC from the household.
I’m with you! I think they look for ways to disappoint their audience’s.
I was waiting to hear when Better Late then Never was coming back, but to find out that NBC cancels the show, What is wrong with you NBC, With all the other stupid shows you have on,one night a week looked forward to watching something to make you laugh instead of shooting, murders, adulterous. Hopefully another network will pick it up!
One of the funniest shows in TV !! I was so looking forward to season 3 !! Dammit NBC !
So, so bummed to hear the show has been cancelled. With so much stress in life, I always enjoyed watching this show, repeatedly, for a laugh. I don’t like a lot of comedy that’s on tv, but this show has always made me laugh. NBC, shame on you!!
I have been searching to see when the next season was going to air. Then I noticed this post that it has been canceled. Finally found a show that I kept waiting for to come back each time that made me laugh so hard, It was funny and entertaining and the cast was amazing I can’t believe they canceled it they really need to reconsider this
What a shame. I was looking forward to it’s return. Finally a good show you could laugh with & have fun. A wonderful change from all the violent, sad shows on.
So sad one of the few programs on TV I could actually laugh at.
Was looking forward to another season
Oh such a bummer that this totally hilarious show was cancelled. We absolutely loved every episode. Good clean fun. Please consider bringing it back.
We loved watching Better Late Than Never. Can’t believe it has been cancelled. Wish another network would pick up! This is a very funny show!!
We enjoyed both seasons of Better Late Than Never. Wish another network would pick it up. Very funny shoe. I wish it had not been cancelled.
