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?
Keep it going. One of he few worth watching.
Renewed!!!!!
Please do not cancel. This is one of the most wonderful shows and perfectly timed for Sunday evening watching!
One of the very few shows on tv that doesn’t insult the intelligence of its viewers. I really enjoy this show, please keep it on.
This show is more of a reality show than all the so-called reality shows on TV. Situations are realistic, characters are well -drawn and our whole family LOVES this show. Please do not cancel.
I love this show please don’t cancel my only Sunday relief from football
Excellent…issues , are helpful in present situations
LOVE this show and am looking forward to a season 3. I find it entertaining yet relevant.
This is a great show we watch it every week. Please don’t cacel it
My wife and I enjoy the program, but we do wish the heavy handed politics could be left to the politicians. I felt that “The Statement” was a vehicle rather than a program. I am a firm believer in the concept that “Evil only needs for good to do nothing.” TV actors and writers often have a limited understanding of reality and have a rather poor habit of trying to teach the rest of us what we should think. I do not want your show to be cancelled. Leave the politics to politicians.
This is by far one of the BEST shows on tv. It deals with current political events
in such a great way that any one can understand. All the actors are quite believable with the characters they play. Please renew and keep this show for a long long time.
This is by far one of the best shows on tv right now. It’s really up with what’s going on in the world. I look forward to watching it every week and hope it will be renewed for a long long run.
I really loved this show and have watched it from the start, BUT now the program is so disjointed. Five minutes of program broken up by four minutes of commercials is making me rethink my program loyalty. If people don’t turn on the program because they can’t follow the story line, how much commercial time will you sell?
I look forward to every episode and think the show is relevant and current, but I hate Madam Secretary’s new long stringy hair.
Awesome, we love this show, great job every show. Realistic, heartwarming , the interaction between Elizabeth and Henry wonderful. Please keep it going.
