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?
Please bring this great show back. So many of us relate to it and to the stars. We lived through them in their travels. It gave us so much laughter.
Maybe bring back as specials?
We loved this show and those amazing men. So disappointed it was cancelled.
I loved the show. I am so disappointed. Please tell NBC they made a bad decision.
I laughed out loud many times while watching this show. I wish it would be renewed for a third season!
That was one of the funniest show on tv, It is a dang shame they cancelled it.
I’m really disappointed that it’s been canceled, they were all so good together and funny!! I can think of a lot worse things on tv, how sad.
I loved this show and I am not in the demographic that they reported, I’m 58. I dont think NBC realizes who all was watching. Please bring it back!
Can’t believe there not going to do another series best program I’ve seen in years
It was a great show they should renew this and air it during a different time of the year or at least do seasonal specials like Halloween in Transylvania or Christmas in Christmas North Pole.
