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 hate this show is being cancelled! Loved that the show had the 4 older guys with such different personalities along with Jeff. Loved watching their antics and adventures. It was so refreshing to watch!
Don’t cancel this hilarious show, there’s never been a show like it before. These 5 guys have an amazing chemistry together. If the viership was down it had to be from poor advertising of the show. My entire extended family LOVES this show. Please reconsider.
This shiw was a family favorite. Never failed to lighten any bad moods. Always laughed!! Truly sad to see it go
This was a great show, funny, real life situations, who ever is picking what shows stays and goes for NBC needs to be fired and replaced with a real TV show lover, so many good shows have been canceled And the keep worthless trash shows! This is why people are moving away from NBC, ABC & CBS
Truly enjoyed it! Not pleased, NBC.
I was looking forward to a third season of BLTN. So disappointed. The good shows are being dropped and new shows are lousy so I don’t what TV much anymore. Bring it back, please!
You gave up really good show.
Noooo! We love this show! It really made me laugh. It is something the whole family can enjoy together. It came on too late in the evening though. I had to watch online. Ugh, I really wish I could look forward to more. It was so good.
We absolutely loved this show. Great humor, lots of fun and informative about different areas of the world. Shame on you NBC for canceling this light hearted and funny show!
First time in a long time I’ve really enjoyed a show since Hill Street Blues. A good show any member of your family could watch and they take it off. Nothing good on anymore
We need this show. These guys brought joy to our lives and we need more.
Bring back Better Late Than Never!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t believe NBC cancelled the best show on their network. No wonder people aren’t watching network TV anymore.
This was an excellent show/adventure! Loved every character. Never laughed so hard. Please check with Netflix or another network so we can continue, at least until the guys give out.
Sucks. Best TV clean fun entertainment there’s been in YEARS and of course you drop it in favor of gag-me reality crap that’s not even REAL! Fake news, Fake TV. Or just trash. Last generation of great fun respectable clean entertaining actors left- nothing but punks left. Bring It Back.
