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 would love to see this show continue. I watched both seasons as they aired and just watched them again on Hulu. These five men provide great entertainment as well as history, culture, and the importance of remembering this planet is all we have, let’s take care of it and take care of each other. Bring this show back please!
I’m a british person better late than never was shown here I never stopped laughing it is a brilliant series when viewing figures are out why are the British viewing fiqure not taken in to account really disappointing
This show is absolutely one of the best shows on TV. Fially a chance to see celebrities as real people. So freaking funny. I am severely disappointed in NBC for not renewing it. So sick of the type of shows that are being renewed…
Was looking forward to season 3. Very disappointed. It was a very funny show. Loved loved loved it. Hope another network like Netflix
picks it up!
I am so so disappointed that this show is not coming back for season 3 what a good and funny show. Couldn’t another Network try to pick this up?
and for the record I’m not talking about a major network with all the other freaking programs that are on TV stations there are too many to count I’m sure somebody else could take to show up
I’m so disappointed 🙁 Great show, cracked me up. so much fun watching the guys together. I’ll miss them!
It was my favorite show on TV and I just found out it’s not going to be on. I kept thinking it would be on later in the year finally decided to Google only to find that it’s been canceled. I was one of the funniest reality shows ever. Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back.
So sad to hear that BLTN has been cancelled. It was my most favorite show. Hopefully it will return…Phooey on you, NBC. Gonna give us another singing/talent competition? Ugh!
Why??? One of the best shows on TV that is funny and more realistic than these other “reality” shows. This was one show I never missed no matter what I had going on. Please bring it back even if it’s on another network.
Please please please come back!!!!!! It doesn’t have to be with nbc
Exactly. there are countless TV stations with a lot of crap shows on them this is one of the better shows so why wouldn’t they pick this up
Very sorry to see this very enjoyable show go. Four icons of my much younger years, all having great, apparently spontaneous fun together. What a treat!
Figures. Finally a show that doesn’t have to deal with nudity (besides Terry), the F bomb every other sentence, an insert to be politically correct, political, etc.. What ever happened to just being able to sit down for an hour and watch a show that pulls you in to their world and makes you laugh so hard-you can’t catch your breath. Now they have to take it away. Just like the other comment made, I believe you need to Advertise it more. Marketing is everything. I think that is where the ball was dropped, not the actors and viewers. Make… Read more »
I just heard that Better late then never had been cancelled! I thought they were just on hiatus. I am sooo disappointed!! Finally there was show that my husband and I both enjoyed watching together!! We looked forward to it and if we missed it we made sure we watched it on demand. For once there was a show with no hate, or raunchiness, where you laughed the whole time, and loved the relationship of these guys!! I don’t think it was advertised and showcased properly, as we stumbled upon it by accident the first time. Please get these guys… Read more »
