What’s This TV Show About?
A political drama airing on the CBS television network, Madam Secretary follows the shrewd, determined Elizabeth McCord (Téa Leoni). As U.S. Secretary of State, she battles office politics, while driving international diplomacy and negotiating global deals. She also handles domestic issues — both at the White House and at home. A college professor, Elizabeth was once a CIA analyst, who left her post for ethical reasons. She returned to public life at the request of President Conrad Dalton (Keith Carradine), following the death of her predecessor, Vincent Marsh (Brian Stokes Mitchell). President Dalton values Secretary McCord’s apolitical leanings, knowledge of the Middle East, flair for languages, and unconventional thinking. The cast also includes Tim Daly, Bebe Neuwirth, Željko Ivanek, Sebastian Areclus, Patina Miller, Geoffrey Arend, Erich Bergen, Kathrine Herzer, Wallis Currie-Wood, and Evan Roe.

Telly’s Take
Although Madam Secretary season three routinely draws a sizable audience for CBS, its average in the coveted 18-49 year old demo — which has never been impressive — continues to decline. However, the show’s total viewership is still healthy. I expect CBS will renew Madam Secretary for a fourth season, thereby ensuring it a decent syndication package. Syndication is where the big money is and, after all, television is a business.
3/23 update: Madam Secretary has been renewed for season four on CBS. Details here.

Really enjoy this show. please renew it for season four
If CBS cancels Madame Secretary I will never again watch CBS or any of its affiliates!!! Madame Secretary is one of our favorite shows and we look forward to watching it every week!!! It’s a great show without being filthy–involving sex and drugs and God knows what else. If CBS does end up cancelling, they need to fill the spot with another decent drama series and not some assanine reality show about dating, singing, or trying to survive in the woods. And not the Good Fight, I see that comess on tonight (2/19) in place of Madame Secretary–I haven’t even… Read more »
This is my favorite show of the week. I look forward each sunday to watching it. Now it hasn’t been on for a few weeks. I want to know what is up. This is a great show. I am going through withdrawl in this show. Please start it up again.
Like show very much should be renewed
Please renew Madam Secretary. It is one of the best shows on TV.
I love Madam Secretary and the cast. It is one of my favorite shows. I hope that it gets renewed. The show reflects the reality of the demanding role of the Secretary of State. One of the reasons that I love the show is that the writers borrowed from real-life situations and headlines. It gave the show credibility. I think the writers of the series face a big challenge in keeping the show relevant given the new Trump administration. Maybe they should borrow from the writers of “Brain Dead” (just kidding).
This is one of the few shows worth watching; I’ll be very disappointed if it’s cancelled. It has guts, and a cast that can deliver. I hope they don’t bow to the gutless left.
I will be very disappointed if MS is cancelled and/or not renewed. Not sure why the focus on a younger crowd-seems to be written for slightly older audience which I appreciate. It would help if show’s schedule was not always altered by Sun football games!
Madam Secretary is An all time favorite . I do not have cable so I pay to get CBS LIVE during the season and this is one of the FEW shows I like.
I would be very disappointef if Madam Secretary does not have a Season Four. It is the only
weekly series that I watch. Its cancellation would
be the end of my CBS viewership.
Madam Secretary is my favorite show. Please don’t cancelled the series. It’s one of the best shows on TV.
Best show on TV

My husband and I love this show. Please don’t take it off. If gives me hope that government can be rational.
