Madam Secretary: Ratings and Scheduling

[Guest]

I know this show is successful, but I can't help but think it would be more successful if the scheduling people were a little better.  It feels like anytime we build any momentum, there is an interruption for something - be it NFL playoffs, real life politics, etc. 

Example - strong season opener, yay!  I'm excited to see the show back! Very next week - preempted!

Also, I never know what time it will be on due to football. I think this is fine for the established audience of the show, but it makes it really hard to bring in new viewers.

I agree. I'd love to see the show on a weeknight at 9 or 10. Football season has always done terrible things to CBS shows...killing some of them before their time, and probably keeping others from becoming as popular as they should be. (True, Good Wife had run its course.)
