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?
We are so upset that the show is now off the air please somebody else pick this up whether it’s Amazon or whatever this is absolutely one of the best shows to been on last five years maybe 10 it’s amazing that there’s so much crap that keeps being renewed and this show is somehow canceled I don’t know who’s running NBC anymore but it must stand for no brains corporation
Please go to a different network and film season 3!!! Best show on tv and I loved watching!!! Give me Netflix number and I’ll arrange a meeting lol
This was one of the funniest reality type comedy shows but I’ve seen on TV in years. I can’t believe it was canceled
NBC … so many people, especially in the 49 and older, want Better Late Than Never back on TV. I think it was short sighted to not check into the interest of those that may not be a part of the social media/internet/Nielsen rating crowd.
Darn it, my husband and I loved this show. It had us rolling on the floor at every episode, so sad that it’s not coming back!
Move it to Netflix!! Would be a great pickup for them!!
Unreal! They always cancel the good shows! Bring it back! Or Henry Winkler you should go to a different channel! I loved it and everyone I tell about it loves it!
It is the best show ever. Bring it back please!
Nooooo!!! How could they be so stupid as to cancel a funny, touching, thoroughly loveable show!? Get over to Fox! Tim Allen did!!
Bring back Better Late Then Never
I really liked this show!!!! Please bring it back!!
Finally! SOMETHING GOOD ON! Loved they’re antics etc. and loved these guy’s. A show that actually made me laugh out loud. Loved the traveling they did. Best thing on TV that I really looked forward to. Any thing good, they take it away. That just FIGURES!!!! So MAD!
This is the best show on television. It is nice to see these iconic gentlemen travel around the world. It not only entertains us it also educates us. Please bring it back.
Best show ever!! Made me laugh til I cried and haven’t done that in years! My brother, who lives across country from me, and I would compare laughable moments together. Truly missing this show – please bring it back for another season!
Loved this show!! So sad it’s not coming back
