"Better Late than Never" (9 p.m., NBC/Ch. 5) is a weird sort of show that's sort of heart-warming, sort of offensive, sort of interesting, sort of stupid.

The premise — taken from a South Korean show — is that Henry Winkler, William Shatner, Terry Bradshaw and George Foreman take off for Asia, where they travel without all the comforts and pre-planning generally afforded to celebrities.

At times in this four-episode "event series," they are ugly Americans — particularly Bradshaw. At times, they're like frat boys. At times, they're buddies who love to needle one another.

At times, they're crotchety old men — particularly 85-year-old Shatner. (Bradshaw and Foreman are each 67; Winkler is 70.)

It's mostly harmless, once you get past the insultingingly stupid opening that's so clearly fake you have to wonder why they would choose it to open what's suppose to be a reality show.

There are some laughs along the way. Which is the best thing about "Better Late Than Never."
