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?
This was a great show. So disappointed it won’t be back. Boo NBC!
This show made us laugh out loud during every single episode. Waiting a whole week seemed interminable. I didn’t think there would be a chance that it was cancelled. I was searching to see when it was starting again!!!!!!!
Nooooooooooo!!!!! So disappointing. One of the few really good shows. Great cast and so funny. The while famn damily enjoyed it . . . now we are all sad! Come on NBC, do what’s right and renew!!!
The best series on TV . The idiots at NBC suck for dropping Better Late Then Never !!!!!!!
No say it isnt so..best reality show weve ever seen…please bring it back…we need this kind of reality….
I’m so bummed, I love this show. What’s wrong with you people. Why would NBC dump a great family show BETTER LATE THSN NEVER. It’s so disappointing, like the way you don’t report the news. Shouldn’t really be surprised because why would you want to have a show that is actually good to watch. I guess your only interested in your own opinion. NBC sucks!
No! Say it isn’t so! We want Canada/Alaska and South America (Colombia, Brazil and Peru)…plenty of places to visit! We have watched reruns several times. What a good belly laugh! Was the only show on that did!
Please bring this show back!! Never laughed so hard!! Best show! Whole family loved it!! Please don’t cancel!!
I have never enjoyed a show or laughed so hard in my life as i did when watching BETTER LATE THAN NEVER !!!!! Why do they always have to cancel the good shows!!! Come on guys get FOX TO PICK UP SEASON 3!! THEY ARE BECOMING THE BEST CHANNEL AROUND AROUND WITH THEIR SHOWS . ALSO HOW ABOUT THE TRAVEL CHANNEL PICKING UP YOUR SHOW!! THAT WOULD BE PERFECT!!! The Travel Channel has some awesome shows also!!! DO SOMETHING!! WE CAN’T LOSE THIS SHOW!!! TRY HARDER!!! PLEASE!!!
I do not ha w Twitter. But this show MUST COME BACK!!!
Why does NBC cancel the best shows really ????
Please somebody pick this show up it is great !!!
I agree 100%. Why does NBC cancel the best shows?? Please please another network pick up this hilarious fun family non trashy show. Great show Better Late Than Never!!! You are missed
So sorry to think NBC feels this show should be cancelled…a show that became a family favorite from day 1 for ages 30to80. This was a family friendly,super funny and enjoyable travel show. Shame on NBC for not taking families and family time not into consideration when making this terrible decision.
Yes please pick this show up. I don’t travel so it gave insight into places I will never visit. It was very funny and I loved all those guys.
This was one of the funniest shows on TV. My wife and I loved it. Bradshaw and Shatner were insanely funny with Winkler and Foreman being more the straight guys.
We are so sad it has been cancelled.
Sure hope reconsideration is given this very funny show.
SOMEBODY PICK THIS SHOW UP!!!! Can’t remember the last show I was able to watch work both my parents and young kids and laugh as hard as we did. Heartbroken to hear it’s been cancelled.
I really hate that Better Late Than Never has been cancelled. We need it to stay on air. With all the craziness in the world, that is an awesome show that makes you laugh and laugh a lot! Please reconsider this and bring Better Late Than Never back for another season or 2.Please! Thank you so much. Wanda Hanks Loveless
