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?
Needs to be madam president for season 7 and 8
YOU have to be kidding. Another decent show going. Almost no reason to tune to CBS. WHY not enough asses and elbows. Thank God I have firestick.
I agree with you. They keep the bad shows on and get rid of the great ones. This show should be renewed for more seasons not in its final season
There will be a madam President, no doubt!!
Trust me, someone will pick it up for a spinoff to madam President, its too dam good, brilliant writing!!
This show is far superior to many other shows you aren’t cancelling. Very disappointing! I absolutely love this show! Why are you taking it off the air?
We love the show and I am devastated that this is the final season.
Quit watching a couple of years ago, got tired of it
This is one of the best shows on TV and you guys are stupid and cancel it, take off one of the new ones that are coming on that are not good! There are plenty to pick from…I would watch reruns than any new shoes out…bring back the good shows like Madam Secretary you had a great one and you made a big mistake by cancelling it?????
Keep this wonderful show going..excellent cast from Canada

Madam Secretary definitely should continue. Madam President would have so many more stories to tell. All stories have been intelligent and entertaining. Please please renew for 7 th season.

Love this show, and would like to see it renewed for a 7th season.
Let Elizabeth get elected president in 2020. Renew for 2020-2021. I love this show! It’s meat for the mind , unlike so many stupid shows. I know lots of people who watch this regularly.
Best show on television! Renew!
Please renew the show. Most intelligent show on to date
There aren’t alot of shows worth watching much anymore except for Madam Secretary and a few others. I feel like it should do a spin off of Madam President. I like many other viewers want to see it continue, great cast, missing Bebe Neuwirth, but seriously Mr. Morgan Freeman, this is a gem and it I believe has many, many more stories to tell. You have to continue this story, because we are in a time where we are ready for Female President and so many of these storylines are true and what our government goes through on a daily… Read more »
