ABC has done very well with their political drama, Scandal. Will Madam Secretary be a similar ratings hit for CBS? Will it be renewed for a second season or will it be cancelled? Stay tuned.
On Madam Secretary, former CIA analyst Elizabeth McCord (Tèa Leoni) returns to public life after being recruited by the President (Keith Carradine) to become the new Secretary of State. The rest of the cast includes Željko Ivanek, Bebe Neuwirth, Geoffrey Arend, Patina Miller, Erich Bergen, Tim Daly, Katherine Herzer, and Evan Roe.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
1/12 update: Madam Secretary and two other shows have been renewed for a second season by CBS.
Final season averages: 1.44 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 11.82 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a couple weeks later.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Madam Secretary TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season two?
Love it !! Keep it !!
Please keep this show. Its up there with West Wing. Great storylines and intelligent.
Witty, clever, unpredictable, entertaining; spectacular writers, spot-on casting….the list can go on. It’s the only show I watch on prime-time TV, because it’s worth my time. I love this show. This is a bright spot in network television–cancel this show and you’ve created a void on network prime-time TV.

Please keep this well-crafted, well-acted, compelling show on…even young viewers are watching it instead of the usual drivel.
Madam Secretary is our favorite show. Brilliantly scripted, up to date. Wwonderful to see a brilliant woman politician.

I love this show. I look forward to watching every week. I’m tired of seeing advertisements for so called “reality” shows, which I don’t watch. This show is a refreshing change. I really hope this show is not canceled.

Please renew this show. So thankful to have a good new show and it’s not a reality show! Thank you. The stories and family life are refreshing. I agree with the comment about ditching the staffers’ romantic interactions.
Wait for this show all week. Very disappointed it was not on last few weeks. Please don’t cancel. Tea Leoni is the right Madam Secretary.
