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?
BLTN was a hilarious show with each week bringing new laughs from all the stars.
NBC should renew the show..
What a shame you canceled this wonderful hilariously funny show NBC!!! I’ve never laughed so hard as I have watching these nostalgic celebrities living life to the fullest. We’ll miss following them on their grand adventures! A shout-out to you Bill Shatner, Terry Bradshaw, George Foreman, Henry Winkler, and Jeff Dye for giving us rolling on the floor belly-laughs if only for two seasons. So sad to see it end. Maybe another network will see what a gem it is and pick it up. One can only hope, but you can be sure well watch it if they do!! Good… Read more »
So sad this was. Canceled and yet all the other crap reality shows continue.
Sad to find out it’s no longer going to air. Loved that show
No! I lived these guys together! It was so funny. But how about a show in usa? Visit special places like Dollywood here in TN.
Why do they always cancel the good shows?
Bring Back Better Late Than Never!!!!
So sad ‘Better late…’ has been cancelled.
Bring it back and have a guest celebrity pop in now and again to keep it current. Loved that show and those guys. Bad move cancelling it
I loved the shows and am terribly disappointed with NBC’s decision to discontinue the series.
I agree with the comment about the 18-49 drop. The over 50 group was probably an increase. That’s the group with the money to buy stuff from advertisers. NBC is looking at the wrong demographics.
Sitcoms use scripted jokes which so seldom hit the mark. It is such a joy to watch a show that is just naturally funny. Granted, the guys are completely out of their minds but that’s what makes it great. I will miss it tremendously.
So sorry to see BLTN canceled. I saw where there was a drop in the 18-49 demographics. Guess NBC doesn’t care about the viewers that are 50 and over. I bet advertisers care since we have the money to spend.
Better late than never was one of the funniest shows on TV and we don’t believe what NBC claims about its rating drops.
So bummed it has been canceled. Show was educational, entertaining and frankly, a jewel among the garbage and trashy shows on network tv today. Please bring it back! There was no bad language and I certainly appreciate that. Plus valued characters instead of the young nobodies on tv and movies now. Please reconsider.
Totally agree, loved the show.
LOVED this show!! Hope it comes back.
