J.J. Jamieson

Producer, writer, executive and show-creator, J.J. Jamieson is a veteran of multiple TV networks, studios, and independent production.

Currently consulting for Lifetime's TV movie division, Jamieson recently served as Head of Scripted for Scripps National Networks, where he ran all original scripted programming... with an unprecedented 100% success record. For Bounce, his victories included the hit dramedies JOHNSON and FINDING HAPPY, as well as the sitcom ACT YOUR AGE, Bounce’s most successful series ever. He personally wrote two hit holiday romcoms for Bounce: MARRY ME THIS CHRISTMAS and GREYSON FAMILY CHRISTMAS, which he also produced. GREYSON FAMILY CHRISTMAS became Bounce’s highest-rated TV movie to date, and was ranked in the top-three best holiday films of 2019 out of more than 200 programs on 34 networks... for 1/2 to 1/6 the cost of rival productions. Jamieson also developed, greenlit and supervised additional telefilms for Bounce (genres: drama, broad comedy, thriller, holiday), each one rating higher than the last.

As division chief at Scripps, J.J. created a brand-specific franchise of TV Movies for Ion—Christmas romcoms wrapped around a central crime story—and launched them under his marketing campaign “Ion this Christmas: It’s the most wonderful crime of the year!” These films were all massive ratings hits (besting all 52 competing networks with the sole exception of Hallmark) AND the most profitable programs in the history of the network. His movies were SO successful, in fact, that Hallmark immediately started imitating them.
