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 absolutely loved Better Late than Never. I really wish it had not been canceled! I watched all of these guys growing up and I just loved all the crazy adventures they got into. I also enjoyed seeing so many different parts of the world. I would do anything to have them all back again. They made a great & interesting team.
BLTN Show was one of my absolute fav. I rarely watch anything “reality”. Those guys had the GREATEST CHEMISTRY, and their “off the top off their heads” comedy had the timing of Big Ben! I’m 68 and have many disabilities, so I watch TV sadly almost nonstop. I don’t understand what their target group was but I do know their ages (excluding Jeff) & mine are extremely similar. Guess what there are a zillion nursing & senior living homes that are full of TV watching ppl, Seniors like myself We need much more real comedy & less swearing, R rated… Read more »
Better late than never was genius, we couldn’t get enough, who picked those 5 guys together? Just loved it
Sure wish they would bring Better Late Than Never back. We still talk about episodes and have a good laugh. If your cheeks didn’t hurt at the end of the show from laughing there was something wrong with you.
This series was a breath of fresh air. Clean fun… what a concept. Who’s bright idea was it to cancel this show? Perhaps it’s time to revisit bringing this back!
