They're not exactly Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, but the road to Tokyo is amusingly padded with each playing off the other. Go to Full Review Amber Dowling TheWrap 06/14/2018
Better Late Than Never is a surprisingly delightful (albeit ridiculous) late-summer entry for NBC... Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 08/23/2016
It's definitely not the lowest common denominator version of this show and I was relieved by that, but its aspirations are limited. Go to Full Review Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily 10/07/2020
Leaving all but the loosest of narrative and structure on this side of the Pacific, the William Shatner, Henry Winkler, George Foreman and Terry Bradshaw-starring reality travel show is not to be taken seriously but damn entertaining. Go to Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred 02/27/2020
This is miles away from a travel documentary series, but it manages to have a good time while watching others-famous others-enjoy themselves while learning about different cultures. Go to Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv 09/01/2016
It's... painfully obvious that the series is scripted. You can see and hear where pithy comments are dropped in during post-production. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/21/2019 Four baby boomers travel the world, engaging in tired "hilarious" antics while reminding Americans why they are the worst generation, and reminding the world why they hate Americans. See more 01/20/2018 I LOVE this show!!!! Delightful and funny! More please!!! See more 01/12/2018 There's a bit of confusion in its reality-ness. It seems the makers could not make up their minds.. And I can't decide if this was funny or not. I know for sure that I'm wasting some time. If you're a friend, take my advice, read the green tomato reviews, if you're white trash and stupid...ENJOY! See more 09/18/2016 This show is HILARIOUS for all ages. My mom and I first saw it together and were crying laughing. The whole family has started watching it. I love that they have little facts about each place they visit and seeing all of the countries is fascinating. The cast is perfect together the banter and dynamics is magical. Definitely my new favorite show. See more 09/16/2016 Good, old fashioned fun. Five guys who know how to entertain are kind enough to bring us along on a personal and emotional journey. Had high hopes for the show and those hopes were far exceeded. See more 09/06/2016 With so much sadness in the world, this sitcom egnites giggles and light hearted fun laughter.
