It sounds gimmicky and completely set up, but with this bunch it works. Read full review

The rapid-fire editing suggests the producers are people who find MTV’s pace too slow. But Better is devilishly clever about dropping teasers about its destinations to get you as excited as its travelers about the journey. This is a Travel Channel spectacular with 10 times the budget and 100 times the star power. Read full review

If you’re of a certain age you can’t help but find the travels of these four seniors both adorable and humorous. Read full review

The reality event series eventually reveals itself to be a slightly crotchety and mostly warmhearted buddy comedy about bucket lists. Read full review

On paper this seemed as though it could be a bit of fun. In execution, it’s labored and way over-cooked. Read full review

Through the tommy-gun edits, paced to create a sense of Fun! and Excitement! the forced marches and arranged meetings, one gets an occasional glimpse of real people having some form of a real experience, and exchanging sincere thoughts. Read full review

This mercilessly edited program isn’t interested in thoughtful observations about the countries it visits, but on a sort of crass disaster theater, in which real-life, celebrity grumpy old men go on a Bucket List-style misadventure. Read full review

4 funny guys. Terry is hilarious. The fighter is the calm one and classy. I love everything about this TV show. Wife and I laugh all the way through it. Plus a bonus of very informative information about the country they travel to. Hope it stays.

This show is fun personified. If you want to focus on its flaws or talk about the editing or make some kind of statement about how it's no fun, then we can't be friends. These guys turned friendship into family while entertaining us all the while. What more could you ask?

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Could be a good show. Jeff was disrespectful to the country, mooning. Stop trying to add sex and pornography to what could be a nice TV show. George, help W. Shatner set Jeff straight or throw him off the bus! We visit other countries to learn of their culture. This is history. Stop insulting the folks!… Expand
