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.

I absolutely Love Madam Secretary and I think Tea Leoni does an excellent job. Please don’t cancel this show. It is a great prelude to The Good Wife.
It is one of the best programs on TV. It gives the public some insight into the country’s interaction with other countries and other cultures.
I think it’s great!!
I have been looking and wondering where my show is. Tonite i did searching on the internet to find that talk of maybe canceling of Madem President. This show is great its strong, powerful, opinionated, shows that women can get things done. Why is it that we can finally get something on Tv worth watching and it gets taken off. Please keep this show. My family of 3 households separate loves this show. Go Madem President. We love you!!!!
Please don’t cancel. Good story lines Good Sunday night viewing. Don’t let us down CBS! I was shocked to see it NOT on tonight.
Excellent show, well done with good acting. It touches today’s global issues in a way many would wish our government address them. What’s best for America – not what’s best for my career or what’s best for my party’s ideology.
Love the show please keep it going!
