In my opinion the best TV program for all ages (Iam nearly 80) it has such depth of character and skilful program story lines. I hope to live to see at least one or two more series.

Why do her staff look smarter in dress and hair than Madam Secretary. In the first series her hair looked beautifully clean and healthy. With each series it has become progressively lank and looks like it need a brush and a good shampoo. Even her children have healthier hair. It sadly gives the impression that Tea Leoni really does not care about her appearance. As for her clothes they too do not represent someone who holds such an influential and prestigious position. I like the characters very much but can the wardrobe and hair departments find extra dollars in their… Read more »
This is actually one of the things I like best about the show. She doesn’t look like a movie star playing Secretary of State. I love that the same outfits are repeatedly worn, just like in real life and that while she always looks fine she does not look over polished.
Madame Secretary is the most politically astute and timely show on television. Like “West Wing” and “Newsroom” before it, MS challenges its audience to think critically about current political issues while allowing you to truly care about the characters. So very glad there’s another season.
Favorite series!
I love Madam Secretary. That and NCIS are the best shows on TV today. I don’t like BULL.
My favorite show- has drama and great plots, outstanding family interactions and great acting by all. I am so glad it is renewed for 4th season. I watch old episodes all off seasons.
SRY, the “a” in Téa went somewhere?
Madam Secretary is one of the top shows I watch. It’s honest, does what’s right both morally, ethically and politically correct. Té Leoni is the right woman for the part. I’ve always respected her career choices and family first attitude. Bless her heart and bless her family.
I have enjoyed watching Madam Secretary very much – the political background, the various characters that make up the staff of the secretary of state ( superb acting by all of them and of course by Tea Leoni herself! ) the family life of Elizabeth McCord with its serious and funny moments… a tremendous show
and I am delighted it is going to be renewed!
Season three was exciting and very interesting. As the episodes are created and filmed way ahead of time, it was very eerie how much of it parallels the current political scene!
I just wish the next season would start sooner!
Will for sure watch it.
We love Madam Secretary. Please keep it on the air. Our whole crowd watches it every Sunday that it is on.
I enjoy madam secretary. It is the only drsma i look forward to seeing.
I love Madame Secretary! So glad for the Season 4 news!
