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?
Should keep the show on tv it is vary good
Renew Madam Secretary! iT’s timely, funny, sad, and good!
This is my favorite TV series. However the show Sunday, 1/10/16 showed a high ranking Air Force female Officers who was more fit to be Ma Kittle than a 21st century military officer. My husband served 23 years as an enlisted man. I have never seen a officer male or female who looks less than well kept and I would appreciate your portrayal of military to look well dressed. Hair cuts regulation. The lady with the ponytail was not a regulation hair cut
Jackie–Amen to that. The only thing I can say about the portrayal of military characters on this show is that it’s not nearly as bad as on the “History” Channel, where nobody in a re-enacted military scene knows how, when, or when not to wear their hat or bothers to get a military hair-cut. The show last night added incorrect radio chatter to its list of sins, my all-time fave being Madam Sec’y mispronouncing Bien Hoa as Bien Ho-ah instead of Bien Wa.The producers could kill two birds with one stone if they gave a homeless vet a job as… Read more »
The show should continue. It was one of the few interesting programs available.

best show on tv and is it being replaced with useless viewing
best show on tv and why is it being replaced with useless viewing
I love the show. It’s nice to see a female character so well written and so well played.
This is the only commercial network program we watch. Please don’t cancel it; move it to another day/time slot so that football doesn’t interfere with the program. It’s the best show and from personal experience it reflects the State Department and foreign service activities pretty well. Don’t cancel it.
