TV show description:
This dramatic series revolves around Elizabeth McCord (Tèa Leoni), a newly appointed Secretary of State. She’s a shrewd and determined woman who drives international diplomacy, battles office politics and circumvents protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues — both at the White House and at home.
A college professor and a brilliant former CIA analyst who left the agency for ethical reasons, Elizabeth returns to public life at the request of the President — following the suspicious death of her predecessor.
President Conrad Dalton (Keith Carradine) values her apolitical leanings, her deep knowledge of the Middle East, and her flair for languages. He also appreciates her ability to not just think outside the box, but to not even acknowledge there is a box.
McCord debates third world problems, finesses foreign dignitaries at work and does battle with the President’s combative Chief of Staff Russell Jackson (Željko Ivanek).
Elizabeth’s team includes her Chief of Staff Nadine Tolliver (Bebe Neuwirth), speechwriter Matt Mahoney (Geoffrey Arend), press coordinator Daisy Grant (Patina Miller), and her charming assistant Blake Moran (Erich Bergen).
In her personal life, she has a supportive husband, Henry (Tim Daly), and three children — Stephanie “Stevie” (Wallis Currie-Wood), Alison (Katherine Herzer), and Jason (Evan Roe).
Episode #120 — Leaving the Station
President Elizabeth McCord kicks off a new landmark political initiative with help from members of the World Cup Champion U.S. Women’s Soccer team, while Flo Avery (Cicely Tyson), who was born the day women were granted the right to vote, looks on. Opposing the initiative is Senator Amy Ross (Tyne Daley) from Ohio. Also, the McCords overcome last-minute obstacles to pull off a spectacular family celebration with a reunion of familiar faces, that includes a performance by Peter Frampton.
First aired: December 8, 2019.
What do you think? Do you like the Madam Secretary TV show? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for a seventh season?
Madam Secretary is a really great show should be considered for a season 2
Ok, did Madam just say “if there is any constellation…” A few
Minutes ago?? Thought I misheard, but my daughter notices it too!
I know!!! I couldn’t believe no one caught that. How the hell could that be possible and does that actress not know the word is consolation? Unreal.
Really bothered me too
This is excellent television. It has done well despite competing with other network broadcasts at the same time. It would be an error to cancel the show for any conceivable reason. Keep this one; it is a very nice and essential compliment to other CBS offerings.
Please do not even think of cancelling this show. It is one of the best that has come along in years. We look forward to it every Sunday night and record the episodes to view when there is nothing better to watch which is 90% of the time. Love Tea Leoni and Tim Daly in their starring roles; couldn’t find a better match. As for Daisy and Matt those roles don’t fit in to the caliber of the show. Perhaps those roles could be replaced with something more professional and mature. Love Bebe Neuwirth in her roll too.
I think its great
Love the show…hope it’s renewed!
We love this show. It is very good entertainment and we get annoyed when football runs over into it. This is a CBS hit along with its NCIS shows. It definitely should be renewed for another season. We keep waiting with anticipation for it to show back up on Sunday evenings. Great show!!!!
One of the “best ” shows ever. DON’T cancel.
Fantastic show!! Great characters and story lines. Don’t cancel!!!!
I love this show. Wonderful acting. Love Tea Leoni. This is the most interesting story line on television in quite sometime. Please renew. The entire cast us flawless. Casted perfectly!!!
What happened? I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Was this program canceled? Maybe CBS should look at other programs and cancel them and not this show. We always look forward to the episode every Sunday. Hoping they will bring it back.
I love this program. Not consistent viewing if football runs over, which is annoying.
Love the show and keep hoping to see it on the Sunday TV schedule again. Full of Washington’s political drama and excitement….very “today.”
We love this show and have been upset that it is not on. Please do not cancel it!! The show must go on!!
Please don’t cancel it, it’s one of three shows I watch. It isn’t dumbed down, there’s no laugh track, what more could I ask for.
