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?
Fantastic show. It was rolling in the aisle funy with some serious moments. I was hopping for season three in India, Dubai, South America. I’m 56 so I have seen you guys in your prime. Most of NBC demographics just thinks of you as old guys including Jeff. Whata shame. Maybe you men can do something on Prime, Disney, Netflix instead.
I was saddened to read about the cancellation of the show. It brought smiles and laughter to this home. You’d all be great neighbors. Thanks Men…
My husband and I are so disappointed that Better Late than Never has been canceled. Seriously, have you all lost your minds? You have a wonderful show that gives people a smile and poof you get rid of it! Makes no sense to me nor many others I’m sure. I hope that you will reconsider your decision and give us back this wonderful show.

My mother and I absolutely love better late than never!!! Fun, friendship, and so many laughs from these guys. Please reconsider bringing this back. There is so much garbage on TV now. This show was a great change. Love you guys!!!
Oh my gosh…what a riot! These guys are so funny! Upset this show has been canceled. Great, cheap fun for us older folks
Pleeeeease bring this back
Bring this show back! Absolutely the most entertaining show. The great mix of personalities was the best.
I honestly thought that show was one of the funniest show’s I’ve ever seen!
At the same time it tugged on your heart strings…
Very disappointed they’re not continuing!
I hope the best for all those old farts and Jeff!
I found the show to be very entertaining and I will miss it

Love the show. My wife and I are sad to see it go. Lots of my friends also sorry to hear it was cancelled
I loved BETTER LATE THAN NEVER… I miss the show… It was a hilarious show.
I absolutely loved this show, I always loved Henry winkler and Terry Bradshaw was hysterical, and George Forman , and William shatner in combination with Jeff and the rest of the guys going to new places and trying different things made me laugh every single time it was on, I was so upset when I heard it was cancelled, it was the bet show ever, please bring it back, a lot of my friends watched it as well, great show
I wish they would do a 3rd season of the show I think it was just a great happy fun show… Plus gave great insight on traveling to new destinations. Hopefully another network will pick the show up and keep it going and would be great thanks
