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.

What do you think? Are you happy the Madam Secretary TV show was renewed for a fourth season? How would you feel if CBS had cancelled this TV show, instead?
I would be very disappointed if Madam Secretary was cancelled. Watch it every week and enjoy it very much.
Love this show!
This is my favorite TV show, one if the few I watch. I will be very disappointed with CBS if they cancel this excellent series, which has created that rarest event- a public figure to be admired and emulate, portrayed in life and death heroic realworld dramas requiring creatively intelligent solutions of the best American qualities
Please, please, please do not cancel this intelligent and beautifully written show! Please renew for season four!
This is one of the best tv shows ever. No sex no foul language no real violence. Is it too much to ask to keep a show that brings great pleasure to some of us? That is one of very few shows i can enjoy. Please renew. I am disturbed you would even consider cancelling.
I am sad that I have not found Madame Secretary on TV for the last several weeks. It is the best thing going, in my opinion. Please renew!
I will be disappointed if Madame Secretary is canceled.
Please renew this intelligently written show! Any more episodes for season 3?
Please do not cancel Madam Secretary. I have thoroughly enjoyed this show.
Missing Madame Secretary! My husband and I enjoy it!!
Where is Madam Secretary? Please let us know soon? Please add my inquiry to the list. We would like to see it come back. Thank you so much.
The only tv show worth watching. Please renew, and stop showing rewards shows in its place. I don’t care if actors give each other rewards, and care even less about their political views.
Many of us look forward to Madam Secretary, on Sunday. Please tell me if it will continue. We’re anctiously awaiting the return of this show. Thank you.
I am disappointed that Madam Secretary is not being shown. The show has not been on regular schedule, but replaced by specials. How could you have fair ratings when the show has not been available on schedule. The Good Fight is being shown at Madam Secretary’s time slot. I agree with the prior comments. Please try to provide less Good Fight shows, which I can watch without sex, vulgarity etc.
I agree. I am disappointed to turn the TV to channel 32 and in its’ place find the show Good Fight, which I am not interested watching. Please bring Madame Secretary back.
Please renew show for season four. Really enjoyed this show.
