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?
renewed.period !
One of the best shows on TV love it!!!!!
By far, the best drama on network TV…
Please do not cancel…..It makes Sunday night TV worth watching.
Horrible show – cancel it immediately!
Please do not cancel this great show!!
Other than Amazing Race and Survivor, this is my FAVORITE program on TV. The content is SO contemporary and it is so well-acted. I really like Elizabeth McCord. I hate to miss a show and anticipate next Sunday night every week.
Please renew! Do not cancel!
Great show!! Renew, renew, renew!
Please please don’t cancel Madam Secretary. It is by far one of the best shows on TV. It is so educational and helps me understand more of what our government faces daily. This show is one I look forward to watching each week. Now that Good Wife is being cancelled, too, I wonder if there is anything worth watching on CBS after you take these shows off. CBS is making very bad decision. I really hope you reconsider taking Madam Secretary off.
oh please do NOT cancel the show. It is current + makes USA politics so much easier to understand. I lived + worked in USA for 27 years. It also provides more knowledge of how the whole system works. I have be blessed + enlightened by the series. I love the cast especially Tia Leone. They are real + have everyday problems. I + several of the other residents at the Retirement Home enjoy it as well
This is by far one of my favorite shows. Please don’t tell me this is going to be canceled. I certainly agree with other readers about the family relationship. The cast is excellent and it is well written. Please reconsider.
I enjoy this show- the family relationships are interesting. Love the spiritual aspect that her husband brings to the story. Clandestine CIA operative and college professor of religion create a wonderful clash of ethics to explore. Well written, intelligent dialog reflecting current world issues is a pleasure.
Please don’t cancel this show!
Look forward to this show & Good Wife EVERY Sunday night ! Don’t take them out.
