What do you think? Are you a fan of the Madam Secretary TV series? Do you plan to watch the fourth season on CBS?
This show is popular. But it would get more viewers if it was not on Sunday. Perhaps it could be moved into one of the cancelled shows time slot.
I personally love this show. It is so well done. The whole cast is really strong. If I am away on Sunday I PVR it and watch it Monday.
I absolutely LOVE this show… it has such a diplomatic way of portraying real life today in government and how it should be handled!!! The cast is amazing and I think it is the best show on TV since MASH!!!!
Glad that Madam Secretary is renewed!!! Me and my husband watch this series every Sunday so please don’t take away our pleasure of watching the series… We are in the sixties and seventies.
This show is well written and the cast has that special chemistry that all make it memorable. Hope they continue to maintain the standard in future episodes. I like that it seems apolitical without an agenda.
Its a great show only wish the football games would stop pushing the shows so late into the night. Football needs to start earlier and stop the evening shows.
Madam Secretary is a mix of the government we wish we had and a woman in charge who isn’t creepy like Hilary. If CBS wasn’t trying to sabotage it at 10pm understanding it pulls a more intellectual audience who are in bed by them Sunday night it’s ratings would be much better.
I absolutely love Madame Secretary.. it is an excellent combination of a West Wing like political drama with Blue Bloods family values and challenges. The writers do a fantastic job and acting is fabulous. I love Tea Lioni and Tim Daly as government leaders and parents… trying to balance it all. Please keep one of the few shows that is intellectually stimulating, has adult humor, and characters that are well developed
I want you to keep Madam Secretary
Love Madam Secretary. Was afraid the government shut Dow was. A finale. Glad it has been renewed. My husband and I both watch it. 69 yrs old.
Yes please!! One more season. Definitly YES
Please continue Madame Secretary. It is my favorite. I even re-watch the past episodes on Netflix.
I am a 75 year old female. Madam Secretary is my absolute favorite show on tv , any day, any network, any time. I record every episode and watch them repetitively. I can hardly wait for season 4 to begin. I love the cast. Please keep this program on
Watch the show weekly, one of the best to look forward to.
Hope it continues for several more years. When does it start and at
what time.
My husband and I watch Madame Secretary and find it extremely intelligent, well directed and acted. No foolishness here. We are delighted that it is returning for season 4. Let’s hope for several more return years.
I absolutely love this show and all the stars. I look forward to watching it every week. It is an excellent political drama tied closely to real world events. I love the family dynamics too. I can’t think of anyone who stars in this show that needs to be replaced. They are all great in their roles and the character development has been outstanding. I can’t say enough good things, I hope it is around for years.
