What do you think? Are you a fan of the Madam Secretary TV series? Do you plan to watch the fourth season on CBS?
I look forward to every Sunday evening with Madam Secretary. The entire cast is stellar, writing intelligent and acting both subtle and strong. Tea Leoni is wonderful as is Tim Daily and the entire cast.
Madam Secretary is one of my favorite shows! I always look forward to watching it .
Absolutely love Madam Secretary. Please continue to renew. It’s current, plus Tea is the perfect fit for the role. Please do not have it on Sunday night. Football always makes it delayed and then it does not tape the whole show. Very annoying.
I enjoy Madam Secretary so much I record every episode so I can watch them over and over. My On Demand only records 5 episodes. I love football but get very annoyed when Madam Secretary is not aired bc of seasonal programs: I.e., sports, awards programs, etc.
I’m absolutely in love with Madame Secretary. I love the show, the cast…everything about it! I’m so happy to hear that it is coming back for a fourth season! My only question is, when???
We love Madam Secretary! (But it appears we of the 50+ group don’t matter according to the ratings criteria!) It’s one of the only intelligent and meaningful TV shows on right now. Great cast and writing. It’s actually the only show I watch on TV now because 90% that get the age 19-49 ratings are mindless often. Try lifting the ceiling to age 55 or 60 and see what you get! Looking forward to future seasons.
My husband and I love both Kevin Can Wait and Man With A Plan. Looking forward to the new season!
I’m delighted that this terrific TV series had been renewed.
Great ensemble cast, led by Tea Leoni, as well as realistic political writing.
Keep up the wonderful work!
I love Madame Secretary and Tea Leoni playing the part of Madame Secretary! She “ROCK’S!” Thank you! I’m praying they will get a nomination for TV Emmy!
I wouldn’t miss Madam Secretary! I am SO glad it’s being renewed for the 2017-2018 season. Best show on TV.
Excellent drama! Since I’m not a fan of the many comedy and reality shows, a series that has actual acting is genuine pleasure.
Excellent show. I hope it goes on for many years. Very down to earth.
Love the show look forward to watching it. Very well donew with great plots
Madam Secretary is one of the best shows on t.v.. I cannot believe that these other stupid untelligable shows get higher ratings. The programs these days are based on stupitiy. KEEP SHOWS THAT HAVE A MEANING!!!!
I love madam secretary. I would be sooo sad if it was cancelled
We love Madame Secretary, and switch channels when it gets bumped. Maybe its too real for some people?
