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?
So sad this was cancelled. It had great stars and was a belly laugher from start to finish. Time slot was not good! Please bring back!!!!
OMG are you Serious… Netflix Please pick up this show.. NBC you are SO STUPID What is your deal, Cant handle Real… Geeesh. YOU FINALLY GOT A GOOD SHOW AND YOU CANCEL…. WE WANT MORE. Somebody please pick up this show.
This show was great!! So funny!! Please rethink your decision and then advertise it so people know when and where it is on. It got no advertising, which is why, I am sure it got low ratings. Please bring it back!!!!!
We have been watching these shows again this past week and we don’t understand why they were canceled. They are so funny we laugh until we literally cry. There is nothing else like it on TV and we want it BACK, please!
I thought it was one of the best “reality shows” on TV. Would really like to see it renewed; please!!!!
Please bring it back or have another network pick it up. Hilarious show. The chemistry between the 5 stars is fantastic!
I love “Better Late Than Never”. So sorry to hear it was cancelled. Just started rewatching the series again.
There was so much chemistry between these guys and they are totally hysterical and looked like they enjoy being around each other. I wish NBC would reconsider before one of them passes away. I was looking forward to seen them in South America or Australia. It was one of the few shows I looked forward to seen every week and we had several people at work who used to watch. We talked about these guys antics, and shenanigans, or things someone might have missed but somebody else caught and we would watch it on demand.
Maybe if NBC advertised this show just a little, more people would have known about it. Who doesn’t adore Henry, Bill, Terry, George and even Jeff? I stumbled on it via On Demand. I never did find it via NBC prime time line up. Why is that NBC? Hopefully other networks etc will beg for this show to continue. I never laughed so hard in my life!! When the camera man threw up, I almost couldn’t breath. Y’all know which episode I’m talking about!!!
That really ticks me off! Two seasons of really funny cool guys traveling together and having a great time was good clean entertainment. Its shameful that the network decided to cancel this even though a season 3 was planned. I for one was looking forward to the shenanigans. Not much else worth watching that isn’t fun and positive.
Love the show!!! Very said to see it was canceled. They always cancel the good ones.
Please bring the show back for another season. Very funny love all the guys. Advertise the show more… lucky I found it and told my family is was on.
I am sad it wasn’t renewed for 3rd season. The show was funny and fun to watch. Made me laugh! I didn’t miss any episodes.
Oh no every episode we have watched was so good. Laughed so hard my stomach hurt. It was the talk of the whole office. What a disappointment 🙁
Bring the show back….we need more laughter and these guys are a blast….not to mention legends…..what are you thinking anyway NBC???? Shame on you!! Bring them back….
