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?
It was one of the funniest shows I have watched in a very long time. It was also educational and showed places most of us will never get the opportunity to see. Very sad to hear it will not return.
I was hoping that the show would continue with them visiting more places.
This is a shame. Loved this show, and hearing about all the different places these guy’s went. Sucks that all the good shows are canceled, and the crappy ones stay. Hopefully another channel or Netflix will keep it going.
Wouldn’t it be great if another network picked the show up? I’d love it!
I’m am so sad. We loved this show and looked forward to ot. Please please please bring it back.
I loved this show and told my friends about it. They loved it too! I believe this was a poor decision on the part of NBC. It was funny and a show that was good clean entertainment. I guess that’s why they decided to cancel?
It is sad this show did’t make it
It was so funny. Sad made my night.
This is sad. I loved this show and the relationship of all these guys. I hope it comes back maybe on another channel. I’ll miss watching it.
Please put this show back on!!! It’s funny, the characters are icons and everything in good taste for a breathtaking change
I am so very sad that Better Late than never has been cancelled. It was a good show with strong but funny characters. These men are icons. It was a great show that showed you different places some people can’t afford to go. The places were beautiful and interesting and the guys had fun with giving you information about the place. It was fun learning through them. I wish you would bring it back. It was an excellent show. Better than other “Reality shows” that are on. I guess it wasn’t sleazy enough for some. Too bad, it was funny… Read more »
Seriously so sad there won’t be a third season. The only recent show that made me actually belly laugh!
So sad, the only show to truly make me belly laugh!
It is a shame NBC chose not to do another season as this show was hilarious and it truly showed you can always have fun no matter who you are or how old you may be and it was a good example of building true friendships.
Funniest show ever. Laughed my arse off.
Best show ever. Someone needs to pick it up and bring it back. Laughed my ads off.
Was just looking to see when this show was coming back on and see that it has been cancelled. Sad to see that. Finally a great series and then it gets cancelled. Another foolish thing from NBC. Beginning to wonder about that network.
I’ve been waiting. Come on. There is nothing but junk on all the network. Give this show one more try !!!
