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?
Madame Secretary Should Definitely Be RENEWED!!
I like this show very much, but I think it would work better as a comedy show. Perhaps Ms. Leoni could appear in some sort of Wonder-Woman costume complete with cape, rescuing the world from the ever-present danger of melodramatic overdose.
This show is hilarious! Keep up the good work.
DO NOT CANCEL T
How com every time a great show is put on the air some one thinks it needs to be canceled. I like Madam Secretary and it should remain on the television.
Love this show. Please keep it going after September 2015
We have very much enjoyed this program. Please keep it going.
Just started watching on netflix but love the show, love Tea Leoni. Should not cancel the show!!
Great show and series. Please continue, look foward every Thursday in UK to watching it. Good script, political intrigue and family life aspect excellent. The cast very good and the chemistry between Elizabeth and Henry comes across really genuine. Looking foward to series 2.
I love this show! The story is rich with intelligent story lines, characters are strong and well developed. Barbara Hall really knows how to write the episodes so that most dems and republicans are not going to be offended or get pissed off. There isn’t a feeling that you have to take a side in the political issues. The family life feels so real. The behind the scenes sacrifices that kids make because they were born into a “public bubble” is very interesting, honest and well written. I look forward to many seasons of this show!
This is a fantastic show. Would love to see it continue
The best show in years. Lots of energy, great cast, and needs to be
Best series in years Please do not cancel!
Absolutely love this show. It has good storylines, it’s intelligent, and the home life is realistic and fun to watch. I particularly like the relationship of Elizabeth and Henry. I haven’t enjoyed a new series this much in a long time.
LIKE, LIKE, LIKE- when will new episodes be aired?
Madam Secretary is one of my favorite shows. The cast is awesome. I can not wait until the new season begins!!
