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 love Better Late Than Never. It’s an hour long show of laughs, fun and total enjoyment. I sure hope there will be a season 3.
I loved this show; please do another season
Too bad this show was canceled (although with NBC I’m not surprised). One of the funniest shows ever. (The actors should take the series to Fox!) And the ratings dropped because NBC never advertised. We loved the show and missed many of the newer episodes because we didn’t know when it had come back on.
Please bring the show back. It was a delight watching these guys have such fun. The show had some great laughs !
Every time I see Terry Bradshaw on NFL Sunday, I remember that great TV show “Never To Late”. I loved that show. I was scrolling through the channels and started watching this. I was at the edge of my chair laughing so hard. Looking for second season, found it. Now third. I was heart broken. I think if you advertise it. People will watch. Especially the baby boomers like me. Thank you for the shows. It was very entertaining. Sandy
My husband and I loved the show. Sad it’s not coming back. The guys did a great job and made us smile….a lot!
Loved the show. Not only somewhat educational but hilarious!! Quite entertaining!

I’m so sorry that you decided to cancel this show. It was so fun and everyone loved watching it. Maybe you should have put more advertising of it. No one knew about it until I told them and they all loved it
I loved the better late than never show. I thought they all worked well together. Showed moxie, fun, adventure, friendship, reality, courage, they did a lot that people with a bucket lists haven’t finished. Good job. It showed they still have get up and go. Me and my family miss them.
So very disappointed this show was cancelled. It was absolutely hilarious and my family loved it! I sure would like it to continue! Thanks for the laughs guys
Pleas bring it back
This was such a fun show! If NBC couldn’t see its value, I wish another network would pick it up.
I loved the show and am so sad as a shatner fan and Bradshaw fan that its not being renewed
Please please bring this show back?? It was our favorite show and never missed a episode!!
So sad to learn the show is over…much humor but also fun to see their escapades through beautiful countries, highlighting the culture and beauty…. the guys have great chemistry. We need programs like this in today’s world!!!!
Please bring them back… before it’s too late.
Great show, best on TV, bring back!
I have all the series and watch them over and over . great , fun show that shows the world.
how can it not be successful
