==Critical reaction== Response to the show was generally positive. Laura Fries of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'', the Hollywood [[trade paper]], noted in her review of ''Jett Jackson: The Movie'' that "Young serves as an appealing role model, much like [[Sarah Michelle Gellar]]'s ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' --someone who can fulfill young, action craving audiences without the gratuitous violence. There's a sense of empowerment associated with these sort of roles, and handled correctly, they function as an excellent allegory for the confusing teenage years." Although she mentions "contrived plot devices", she also refers to the series as "clever" and "an extremely entertaining concept".<ref>{{cite web | last = Fries | first = Laura | title = Jett Jackson: The Movie (review) | work = [[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | publisher = Reed Business Information | date = 2001-06-06 | url = https://www.variety.com/review/VE1117798235.html?categoryid=32&cs=1&p=0 | access-date = 2006-12-02 }}</ref> ===Awards and nominations=== The series ''The Famous Jett Jackson'' and its young cast were nominated for [[Young Artist Awards]], presented by the nonprofit Young Artist Foundation, in several categories in the course of the show's run: {| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 100%;" ! colspan="5" style="background: LightSteelBlue;"|Awards |- ! 1999 ! width="50"| Nomination ! width="150"| The Golden Reel ! width="425"| Composer ! width="200"| Nominated |- | 1999 | {{nom}} | [[Young Artist Award]] | Best Performance in a TV Comedy Series, Leading Young Actor<ref>{{cite web | title = Twenty-first Annual Young Artist Awards, 1998-1999 | work = The Young Artist Awards | publisher = Young Artist Foundation | url = http://www.youngartistawards.org/noms21.htm | access-date = 2006-12-02 }}</ref> | [[Lee Thompson Young]] |- | 1999 | {{nom}} | [[Young Artist Award]] | Best Performance in a TV Comedy Series, Supporting Young Actor | Ryan Sommers Baum |- | 1999 | {{Won}} | [[Young Artist Award]] | Best Performance in a TV Comedy Series, Supporting Young Actress | Kerry Duff |- | 1999 | {{nom}} | [[Young Artist Award]] | Best Family TV Comedy Series | ''The Famous Jett Jackson'' |- | 2000 | {{nom}} | [[Young Artist Award]] | Best Performance in a TV Drama Series, Leading Young Actor<ref>{{cite web | title = Twenty-Second Annual Young Artist Awards, 1999-2000 | work = The Young Artist Awards | publisher = Young Artist Foundation | url = http://www.youngartistawards.org/noms22A.htm | access-date = 2006-12-02 }}</ref> | Lee Thompson Young |- | 2000 | {{nom}} | [[Young Artist Award]] | Best Performance in a TV Drama Series, Supporting Young Actor | Ryan Sommers Baum |- | 2000 | {{nom}} | [[Young Artist Award]] | Best Performance in a TV Drama Series, Supporting Young Actress<ref>{{cite web | title = Twenty-Third Annual Young Artist Awards, 2000-2001 | work = The Young Artist Awards | publisher = Young Artist Foundation | url = http://www.youngartistawards.org/noms23A.htm | access-date = 2006-12-02 }}</ref> | Kerry Duff |- | 2001 | {{nom}} | [[Young Artist Award]] | Best Performance in a TV Movie | Kerry Duff (''Jett Jackson: The Movie'') |- | 2001 | {{Won}} | [[Parents' Choice Awards]] | Silver Honor<ref>{{cite web | title = The Famous Jett Jackson | work = 2001 Parents' Choice Awards | publisher = Parents' Choice Foundation | url = http://www.parents-choice.org/get_direct_indiv.cfm?cat=c_tel&awdyr=2001&award=xx&from=Parents%27%20Choice%20Award%20Winners | access-date = 2006-12-02 | archive-date = December 10, 2006 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20061210033007/http://www.parents-choice.org/get_direct_indiv.cfm?cat=c_tel&awdyr=2001&award=xx&from=Parents%27%20Choice%20Award%20Winners | url-status = dead }}</ref> | ''The Famous Jett Jackson'' |}
