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?
Best show on the air!! Someone has taken their authority too seriously and made a decision BASED ON personal reasons. Without any doubt KEEP Madame Secretary going for another season, if not many more. Entire cast is excellent and believable.
This is one of the best shows now on the air. It would be a big mistake to cancel it. There is SO MUCH junk on the air and this (along with shows like Blue Bloods and NCIS) are ones that are worth watching.
I really love this show. It’s the best one that I have watched in a very long time. I don’t miss an episode of it. Please don’t cancel this one because it’s great. I even watch the commercials because I don’t want to miss anything. The acting is great on all levels and it has a very good story line too.
I love this show. Best actors, best writers. It replaced NCIS as my favorite
Please renew….this is he best show on CBS… It’s got it all!! It’s fantastic
Please renew Madam Secretary; it’s a great combination of intelligent TV, great characters, a little comedy and real-life situations thrown in for good measure. Love this show.
Please renew! It’s our favorite show!
renew,best tv show cbs has
Watching the nobelpeaceprize/israeliwhoeverpeacetalks thing right now. The problem here is that this subject has absolutely no interest to americans at this moment. Or at other moments either. This is a permanent standoff. What is relevant is the ideological conflict which has resulted in a radically individualistic and conservative president, a congress poised to support that agenda, and the lib/media alliance which takes any shot, will report any opposing idea to remain relevant. You guys are the writers…tv is made up…why are we presented with this? Where are episodes which depict or reflect this deep schism and the reaction of government… Read more »
