TV show description:
This dramatic series revolves around Elizabeth McCord (Tèa Leoni), a newly appointed Secretary of State. She’s a shrewd and determined woman who drives international diplomacy, battles office politics and circumvents protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues — both at the White House and at home.
A college professor and a brilliant former CIA analyst who left the agency for ethical reasons, Elizabeth returns to public life at the request of the President — following the suspicious death of her predecessor.
President Conrad Dalton (Keith Carradine) values her apolitical leanings, her deep knowledge of the Middle East, and her flair for languages. He also appreciates her ability to not just think outside the box, but to not even acknowledge there is a box.
McCord debates third world problems, finesses foreign dignitaries at work and does battle with the President’s combative Chief of Staff Russell Jackson (Željko Ivanek).
Elizabeth’s team includes her Chief of Staff Nadine Tolliver (Bebe Neuwirth), speechwriter Matt Mahoney (Geoffrey Arend), press coordinator Daisy Grant (Patina Miller), and her charming assistant Blake Moran (Erich Bergen).
In her personal life, she has a supportive husband, Henry (Tim Daly), and three children — Stephanie “Stevie” (Wallis Currie-Wood), Alison (Katherine Herzer), and Jason (Evan Roe).
Episode #120 — Leaving the Station
President Elizabeth McCord kicks off a new landmark political initiative with help from members of the World Cup Champion U.S. Women’s Soccer team, while Flo Avery (Cicely Tyson), who was born the day women were granted the right to vote, looks on. Opposing the initiative is Senator Amy Ross (Tyne Daley) from Ohio. Also, the McCords overcome last-minute obstacles to pull off a spectacular family celebration with a reunion of familiar faces, that includes a performance by Peter Frampton.
First aired: December 8, 2019.
What do you think? Do you like the Madam Secretary TV show? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for a seventh season?
I really, really want this show to continue. I do look forward to it. It is really great at portraying relationships. I really like the characters. I like the whole mystery, adventure, politics, romance thing coming together like a well-played symphony. It is just coming to a crescendo.
I love this show! Don’t cancel!
Best show ever! Stupid to cancel!’
Love this show. Please keep it on the air.
Could we stop having excellent shows cancelled!!! if the time doesn’t work, then move it but leave the show on. It’s one of the few I want to watch every week!
Best new show, please don’t cancel
Love the Show – Keep It! Move it to Friday Nights.

I love the show please please renew it!!
My husband & I love this show, please do not cancel it!!!!
One of the few good shows on these days. Would love to see it renewed.
B est show on, please please renew!!!!
I like the show but Sunday nights are not good for this show. Because of football and other scheduled shows it never runs on time. When you have other commitments like I do I have to tape it and go back to see the show the next day or later that night. I have missed parts of two shows and have yet to see them. I don’t think it should be cancelled.
Husband and I like this show a lot and hope it’ll be renewed.
please continue this show…I enjoyed it very much!!!!!!!!!!!
Great show!!! Well acted, well scripted and intelligent. Tea Leoni and Tim Daly and entire cast are terrific. Please continue the series!!!
