What do you think? Are you a fan of the Madam Secretary TV series? Do you plan to watch the fourth season on CBS?
Please do not discontinue this program, I wait all week for Sunday evening and Tuesday evening programming; I love Madame Secretary it is as wholesome as Blue Bloods and it is getting harder and harder to find great programs. I watch little TV and find it harder and harder to find something to enjoy!
Me and my wife love the show, we are always clinging after the season ends to see if the show will continue. Tia Leoni is awesome Along with Tim Daly. We hope that the show can be long lived. To good of a show to do away with. Creative, awesome drama, and full of suspense. I don’t watch reality t.v., not a fan.
I love Madam Secretary and am looking forward to the new season. It is intelligent and interesting, with real scenarios and great actors and actresses. I only watch a few shows on TV, this being my favorite.
Madam Secretary & Bluebloods are practically the only network shows my husband & I watch. They both have superior writers and present real people with ups & downs, making good & bad decisions and also possessing humor.
I agree with you 100% on both shows. Just not enough episodes per season.
Stupid to cancel show. Great actors. Why, truthfully, why was it canceled
Favorite TV show NCIS, Bull and Madam Secretary. Haven’t miss any episode on these three shows. Glad there all back.
.What’s a Sunday night without 60 Minutes and Madame Secretary.made a great decision CBS to renew
Ditto to Dorit and Chris’s comments. Am so happy to learn MSec will be on!
Always enjoy “Madame Secretary!” Very appt to hear it is returning for another season. I don’t fall anywhere near the demographic…being more than two decades older. The writers are amazing and seem to know what is going to happen in real life when they create the storylines.
Will absolutely be watching the new season. My husband and I watch the show and look forward to new episodes. Great cast, acting, directing, content. Thanks for a show for those who enjoy something other than lame comedy.
One of the best shows on tv next to all of the ncis and blue bloods series
I love watching Madam Secretary! It’s one of the best TV shows on the air!
This is one of the quality shows on the air. Sharp dialogue, great plot lines and really talented actors. Don’t let it end
I love this show! I have seen every episode and can’t wait for the new season to begin!
This is a fabulous show!
Excellent drama, incisive, superbly acted, highly intelligent writing, acting, plot lines; always intriguing.
