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?
Funniest show ever
This was one of the best shows on TV. It was a show that could be watched by the whole family and was absolutely hilarious! NBC couldn’t have had a better cast of characters.
We would ALWAYS set the VCR so we’d never miss an episode. My sister works 60 to 80 hours a week yet would always make sure she’d have time to watch this show. We are all terribly upset that the show has been canceled! Please, NBC, bring it back!!
I think it is tragedy that such a cute and fun filled show was canceled but crap like big brother and love island are still on. With all the violence and divisions we really need a simple joy like these four brought. Shame on NBC for ending somethingwonderful. .
BRING IT BACK……I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time…..makes me want to travel!
Better late than never was the best show ever. Shame in NBC for canceling. Hope another network picks it up
This is sad 🙁
I watched and LOVED both seasons. So sad that not was not renewed.
Its no wonder the ratings dropped, I actually waited and looked for season two and completely missed it. Advertisement means alot when it comes to television. Outta sight outta mind is what happens in a busy life. I’m thinking this happened to more than just myself. Better Late than Never was a very good show and I really looked forward to seeing it again. Oh well………
I know many people that enjoy the show but I don’t know if they enjoyed as much as I did it was good TV entertainment no crap and I’m sure people don’t know how to get on here but I wish they would bring another series back. Some people just don’t have a computer or know how to do this but the people I talk to it needs to come back on
Are both series available on dvd and if so where? Cheers
Watching reruns I have saved since 2018 and laughing so hard again!!!! Can’t believe this show is off the air. One of,the best shows I’ve ever seen.
PLEASE DO ANOTHER SEASON!
I think they went after the wrong demographic for Better Late Than Never. It’s the 50-70 yrs that know who these guys are and appreciate their humor. I loved this show. Sorry to see it cancelled.
One of our favorite show Pure fun11 Right now the world needs it back1
Loved this show! Please, PLEASE, bring it back!!
Please bring this show back! It was such a funny show, love the cast. They’re hilarious
Please bring Better late than never back for another season. It truly was entertaining, with a great cast and so funny! Look forward to more episodes with the same cast! They were wonderful!!!
