Tonight, "Madam Secretary" will premiere on CBS, and now fans can watch the pilot via a live stream online.

In this premiere episode, "Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord is caught up in a maelstrom of complex political challenges, including an international hostage situation, shortly after taking office. She also has serious second thoughts about accepting the job as her two kids struggle to adjust to their new schools in the series premiere of this drama."

For CBS, there is a live stream which can be accessed here and here (depending on your region, one may be accessible over the other), and through that, fans can watch the "Madam Secretary" premiere live stream online.

There are a lot of fake channels solely for the purpose of luring viewers with ads, but here is how you can avoid any potential hiccups with pop-ups and ads.

--Do not download anything that is suggested.

--For every ad, there is an "X" button. It is typically in a corner or out of the way so it is hard to see. Sometimes ads try to fool you by giving you a fake "X" graphic which leads you to an ad. Do not be discouraged when this happens, the real "X" button is there somewhere.

--Multiple ads will pop and it takes a little bit to clear out each and every ad. Even then, pop-ups will occur as you clear the ads. Do not listen to any of these ads or pop-ups and clear them right away.

--This "Madam Secretary" premiere live stream will have recurring ads that pop up every once in a while. If this is the only way you can view "Madam Secretary," do not be deterred and the live streaming will work once the ads disappear.

Be sure to check out "Madam Secretary" on CBS at 8:00 p.m. EST.
