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?
Love this show! First rate writing, acting, and plots. I’m lease keep it on the air!
This is a great show. The writing, the acting every thing is first rate. Please keep it on!
The best show ever have my family and friends watching it on Netflix
Please do not cancel. Its one of the few remaining TV shows of any worth.
I watch it and kinda liked it but it has gone down hill with it left wing propaganda. If it continue to stay as bad as the last episode than they can remove it off the air
The last show was discussing as it was a hit job on President Trump .In the pass they throw some hits in there but this last one was down right shows how left wing Hollywood is and have to do their best to knock our President .They did not do that to the worthless one Obama .
The last show was about a man elected President of his country, who was a serial sexual molester and who sold out his country to a foreign power for big bucks. NO. it was not about Trump! What made you jump to that conclusion? Oh, right. Well, I don’t fault you for assuming that it was about Trump. Hell, almost everyone in the world would have jumped to the same conclusion. LOCK HIM UP. He is a bad (or sick) guy!
One of my favorite shows. Hope it continues for years to come
Please leave this show on, it is one of the best of TV, take off the crap shows.
Great program please leave it on the air.
Madam Secretary is generally a good program though sometimes seems to follow a formula. I would watch more if it were on a weeknight. It is hard to compete with PBS’s Masterpiece Theatre and other PBS series. I hope the program will continue, just on a better night.
Madame Secretary is a program that everyone should watch. It is an example in these terrible times that gives us hope that things can be accomplished.
I love madam secretary. Great show, aligns with current events. Don’t cancel , please!!! I look forward to Dunday evenings because of it. But I haven seen it in awhile. Where did it go?
I love Madam Secretary. It is one of our favorite shows. Please do not cancel.
Love Madame Secretary! One of our family’s all time favorites. Do not cancel, please.
I can’t get enough of this show. It shows that politicians could be decent if they wanted to and get the job done. Washington could take a lesson from Madame Secretary. Get it off Sunday and give it the chance it deserves on a week night. This show is as awesome as Designated Survivor (which has not been cancelled) and the former show Commander in Chief which was cancelled sadly. Love that they’re all Independents and not Dems or Reps.
