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 can’t believe that NBC cancelled BLTN! I watched both seasons as they came out and am currently rewatching them again on demand with my Mother and she LOVES it! If NBC doesn’t want it then Henry Winkler needs to approach another station about picking it up. What an entertaining show this is and a pity it was cancelled.
This show was great entertainment. Love the four super stars. Over 4 million viewers sounds like a hit to me.
Meanwhile big bang theory is still on. SMH.
My husband and I loved this show!! It made us laugh and we looked forward to the nights the show was on!! Please bring it back!!
I love this show! My kids would watch with me. I wish there was a season 3!
Bring it back please!
Loved this show very sad it is cancelled, so much better than many of the shows airing now
You know NBC there are other age groups besides 18-49! There are a hell of a lot baby boomers out there that watch tv too! We are not dead yet! We get the jokes and the enjoyment of watching these guys enjoying life in their golden years. Many of us in 50-100+ age live out our travel dreams we possibly would never be able to do through these guys. Bring this show back on the air!
Extremely sad to hear that ‘Better Late Than Never’ is not being renewed by NBC. Not only were the first two seasons hilarious it was very interesting from a travel perspective. When I see there is so much reality TV garbage on TV this was a gem. Please reconsider before it is too late!!
Agree 100%
Please dont let it be so i loved this show so much!!!!! Please bring it back
So sad. This is a hilarious show that makes everyone laugh and cry. With a 93% approval rating I’m not sure why the network would cancel the show. Very disappointing.
I have been waiting for this show to come back on. It is sad that something that just entertains you cant make it on NBC. I hope the powers that be change their mind.
Very, very disappointed that Better Late Than Never is not returning–this was a favorite of ours and soooo entertaining!
That makes me very sad! I loved watching the guys all travel together, they made me laugh out loud. Please bring it back.
No! Can’t be cancelled. I’ve been waiting anxiously for season 3. Please bring this back. Such a great show!
