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?
Great show please keep. Seems like all the good stuff gets cut. Can’t stand stupid comedy or reality.
please do not cancel this series It is the best new show this season.
Please do not be stupid and cancel this show. What is up with canceling the only decent shows in ages. If cbs were smart. They would not only keep this put pick up WE TVs The Divide. CBS could use both high quality dramas in their line up
Please do not cancel this show. It is a very interesting series.
One of the best shows on tv. You didn’t advertise a final season show. This is why we are asking when is the next season or show start.
Madam Secretary is one of the best programs n a long time please keep it.
Thank you
Pleas don’t cancel this show. t is one of the very few good shows on network TV.
PLEASE LEAVE THIS SHOW ON ONLY GOOD NEW SHOW TO BE AIRED THIS YEAR. GOOD ACTING DON’T TAKE IT OFF.
I am shocked that this program may be cancelled as it has taken real events and put them in the perspective of real life situations. Tia L. is wonderful in this role as she is able to balance her professional life and personal life (well sort of). I for one would be very disappointed if this program were cancelled. It is head and shoulders above “State of Affairs”.
I miss Madam Secretary on Sunday Evening… I’m waiting for the next episodes.
My opinion would be more positive if I ever got to watch a full episode. CBS can’t seem to align in the time slot allowing huge over runs of 60-Minutes. So my recorder stops just as the episode gets to the critical point in the show. I think I’ve only seen one full episode thanks to their inept handling of the series.

I feel for you. We had to extend the end time of the show for another 1/2 hour to get it all.
