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?
Love this show! Do not cancel! Makes politics actually make sense!
The fools that apparently claim to run all of our major TV networks just love to cancel every good TV show that comes along and leave the viewers with pure nonsense to watch!..Madame Secretary is a real keeper!
You guys are morons if you cancell this show
don’t cancel
Please do NOT cancel this show. Good series are hard to find and this one is GOOD. I look forward to it every week, even with the football games causing the time problem. Why do networks cancel shows that actually make you think and are entertaining, but keep other mindless shows. CBS has been the one network with good shows. Please keep this good one!!!!! Thanks for not cancelling this show!!!!
It’s a GREAT show DON’T even think about cancelling it, good cast, plot lines, etc
Please do not cancel. Best new show in a long time!
Why is it when there is a really great program on TV they have to think about cancelling it.
This ridiculous, continue this program. This program makes everyone think and a lot of good drama. I think the writers should work the plot into where madam secretary somehow becomes the president as written in United States presidential line of succession
Madam Secretary is BY FAR one of the BEST programs on television in a very long time.
To cancel this program is ridiculous. The drama, the acting, the story lines are superb! So many people I have talked with and my friends LOVE this program and do not want it to be cancelled. Are you really cancelling this program? BAD MOVE!!!!
Please continue Madam Secretary. Great show.
Please do not cancel. My friends and I love the show,
Best show on TV! Please renew it! Best storyline, acting ever…..
Please continue this show…there are so few shows of quality on network tv. I look forwrward to the episodes which are a good blend personal and public life. The acting is fine.
Keep on the air…
Madam Secretary..love it!
This is the only series I’ ve been hooked on since Murphy Brown.
How can you talk of canceling it.
Renew renew renew
Why is it that those shows that cause the viewer to think and not just sit like a rock are the ones the networks want to cancel? I am so tired of the brainless reality shows, the laugh track sitcoms, that we watch very little TV.
Please do not cancel this show – it is thought provoking and certainly relevant to our world today!!!
My husband and I LOVE Madam Secretary and are COUNTING on it NOT being CANCELLED. We look forward to it each week and make sure we DVR it!! PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL this EXCELLENT program. It keeps your interest from beginning to end and makes you think of the different scenarios and is true to life!! So many of our friends watch and LOVE it as well!! Thank you for NOT CANCELLING THE SHOW!!
