What do you think? Do you watch Madam Secretary? Are you enjoying season four so far?
I love this show and have been watching from the beginning. I love the endless story lines that go right along with real life and I love that she is handling them well. I do hate it when people pass judgement on the show before watching it and I know the time slot this show is stuck in has affected its ratings. But please don’t cancel it because, other than Survivor, there is nothing else to watch on regular TV now!
Love this show! Football games delay airing until after 11 sometimes. Kills ratings. Move it where it can get a better chance. It is deserving of fair chance. Better than so much junk on the air now.
This show and its placement is one reason On Demand must have been created. Please renew for at least another season. Looking forward to many more episodes of great writing and talented cast although missing Bebe Neuwirth. Welcome to Sara Ramirez.
why eliminate Bebe Newrith
Yes. I absolutely watch Madam Secretary. It is one of the best political dramas ever. All the actors are FANTASTIC. Please keep it going.
This is a wonderful show. Smart & witty. I’m sorry Bebe N. is leaving the show but look forward to the new addition. Please don’t cancel this show!
I love this show but am not pleased with it’s position on the channel. Waiting for the “games” to end and then on into the night does not enhance it’s popularity.
Another night????
