Better Late Than Never is a reality travel show that follows four legendary stars from four different fields; William Shatner, Henry Winkler, George Foreman, and Terry Bradshaw, as they embark on a hilarious and exciting adventure across various countries around the world. The show premiered on NBC in 2016 and ran for two seasons until 2018.

The premise of the show involves the four stars who are all in their 70s and 80s, traveling to various countries to explore new cultures, try new foods, and engage in extreme sports and other activities. They embark on this adventure with their younger companion, Jeff Dye, who serves as their tour guide and the voice of reason.

The show is a unique blend of travel, comedy, and an exploration of different cultures, as the group visits places they have never been before and tries new things they have never done. They engage in activities such as taking flamenco lessons in Spain, learning the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, and performing a Bollywood dance routine in India.

The stars' camaraderie and humor are a constant feature of the show as they tease and poke fun at each other while trying to overcome obstacles and challenges in each country they visit. Their different personalities shine through as they interact with locals and experience different cultural practices. William Shatner, for example, is often seen as the prankster of the group, while George Foreman provides the muscle and Terry Bradshaw provides the comic relief.

The show is not just a travelogue, however; it also explores the various issues facing each country they visit. The stars visit orphanages and engage with locals about issues such as child labor and poverty in India. They also learn about the history and politics of the countries they visit, such as their visit to South Korea, where they discuss the ongoing tensions between North and South Korea.

Despite their age, the stars are not afraid to take risks and engage in activities that some might consider too extreme for people their age. Whether it's bungee jumping in New Zealand, skydiving in Los Angeles, or white-water rafting in Cambodia, the group proves that age is just a number and that it's never too late to try something new.

The show's format is simple and straightforward, with each episode featuring a new location and set of activities. The stars often split up and pursue different activities, which keeps the show interesting and varied. Jeff Dye, as the group's youngest member, plays a crucial role in leading the group and making sure they stay on schedule.

One of the show's highlights is the sense of wonder and amazement that the stars often express as they experience new things, such as their visit to the Great Wall of China or their attempt to learn the art of ninja in Kyoto, Japan. Their joy and excitement are infectious, and it's hard not to feel inspired by their sense of adventure and willingness to embrace new experiences.

Overall, Better Late Than Never is a heartwarming and hilarious travel show that showcases the joys of travel, adventure, and lifelong learning. The chemistry between the stars is undeniable, and their ability to laugh at themselves and each other is a refreshing change of pace from more serious travel documentaries. If you're looking for a fun and entertaining travel show with a lot of heart, Better Late Than Never is definitely worth watching.
