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?
You finally had an original thought and it was clean compared to most all of your shows and you cancel it. Pitiful on your part. Tv is just so mundane and completely predictable. No one has an original thought instead all stations and movie studios continue to redo the many older successful shows.
Loved Better Late Than Never! So much fun! I hope NBC will reconsider and bring it back!
Yes that show Better Late Than Never made my husband and I laugh so hard it made tears roll down my face! NBC bring that show back! PLEASE
Oversure a great show that makes you laugh , what is the matter nbc ! Bring it back ! Oh that’s right no naked people on it or dirty things so it cannt get aired
Please say this isn’t so!! Maybe we can get the network to change its mind!!! Or get another network to pick it up!? I truly enjoyed this show!
Was the best…funny, informative and these men had so much enjoyment with each other it just overflowed to its audience….and why was it cancelled when Henry Winkler won an award for it?!?! Sad, NBC…sad decision!
This show better late than ever is sooo funny, entertaining and informative. You have these four legends and Jeff who are so real in showing their reactions on things that we ourselves experience, they also speak about the culture of the places they visit. I was saddened to hear about the cancellation of the show. I would love to see more. I think that if they didn’t have so many viewers it was maybe at the time you had it on and the promotion given wasn’t enough. I think that they should have some more seasons of showing is different… Read more »
Simply a funny show. Back when I was a ten year old NBC canceled Star Trek, my favorite show. Shatner and the rest later went on to make buckets of money. Shatner was in that one too… Now you are cancelling a favorite again? Bring em back, turn em loose and let’s have something funny on NBC!
