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?
We like the program and feel it should not be canceled. This is one of the best shows on TV.
It would be a shame to see it canceled. The actors r great and the characters r just starting to develop. Some of the writing in the last episode could of been better but that too will develop. Or change writers as so many shows do as it goes along.
best program on tv . the series has substance to it. I say renew
I think this is a great show. Please don’t cancel it. I just love it. Some of the other shows I have seen talk down to people and it suppose to funny when it not. This show is so strong and I like the way she thinks about what the outcome might be… I just think it would be a big mistake if you cancel the show. Friday I saw a new show which was really bad.. I think it is called back something. Talk about a negative character, this guy is just gross. I think it was on cbs.… Read more »
Love this show! One of the best of the new shows last season. Tea Leoni and all of the supporting cast are believable and the story lines are cogent and and well scripted. The acting is excellent. I would really hate to see this show cancelled. Do you know when the next episode is scheduled to air?
I love this show. It is well written. I hope they keep it on. One of the better shows in 2014-15.
I love the show and hope it stays on the air a long time
Enjoy show but where does it go from week to week. I look forward to it and then it is not there. One of few I follow. Like Tea Leoni, kids and hubby and story lines that wish were representative of our principles in the USA. Keep that show on the air but do not preempt it so much.
Please DO NOT cancel my favorite show. Thank You
One of the best of the new shows, deals with real issues .
love this show-smart dialogue-great chemistry between characters-logical episodes-please do not cancel
Please don’t cancel a show that portrays how a Secretary of State can be really, really effective! It may be fiction but I can hope……
Best show on TV.
Excellent show with good content. It would be a shame for it to be cancelled
Fanttastic show and actors (and entertaining enough not to be like the real thing
It would be a horrible shame to cancel it. (at least give it to another company to keep it going
This is a very good show. If you want to cancel shows cancel all those ridiculous reality shows. Most people watching reality shows are only watching them because theres nothing else on. THEY ARE ALL RIDICULOUS. Who wants to see some dancing teacher yelling at children and their mothers???????? Those reality shows you keep adding keep getting more and more ridiculous. Where does it end??????
very good show demonstrating strong ethical and moral values . Beats all the viol1ence and lack of morals and ethics that we see on so many shows today. show is quality entertainment for the entire family
