I Am Jazz  I Am Jazz (announced as All That Jazz) is an American reality television series on TLC about a transgender girl named Jazz Jennings. The series features Jazz and her family "dealing with typical teen drama through the lens of a transgender youth." "I Am Jazz" premiered on July 15, 2015, and has received positive reviews. On March 28, 2019, TLC renewed the series for a sixth season, which premiered on January 28, 2020. Jazz Jennings, a South Florida teen, was born male. Aged 4, Jennings was diagnosed with gender dysphoria in childhood, making her one of the youngest publicly documented people to be identified as gender dysphoric. Her parents, Greg and Jeanette, decided to support her female gender identity by her fifth birthday. Jazz has been in the spotlight since 2007, when at age 6, she was interviewed by Barbara Walters to discuss her gender identity. She participated in follow-up interviews, launched a foundation, and co-wrote a book, also called "I Am Jazz". She has also posted videos about her life on YouTube. "I Am Jazz" focuses on the "Jennings" family (the surname "Jennings" is a pseudonym, and any reference to the family's exact location is obscured) and their day-to-day lives. Jazz, who was about to enter high school when the series started in 2015, grapples with the usual teen angst in addition to her own challenges as a transgender girl. Her family, which includes her three siblings, parents and grandparents, also talk about their experiences. The 11-part series involved filming five days a week, including both days on the weekend. The series was initially called "All That Jazz", but was retitled to "I Am Jazz". The show takes its title from a 2011 documentary, "I Am Jazz: A Family in Transition", that aired on the Oprah Winfrey Network. The one-hour series premiere of "I Am Jazz" first aired at the same time Caitlyn Jenner was giving her acceptance speech for the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPY Awards on ABC. Critic Brian Lowry of "Variety" praised "I Am Jazz", calling it a "sensitively constructed series (in an admirable departure for the attention-seeking network)... Simply told and heartfelt, the show should add a welcome dimension to the education process, capturing the challenges associated with sexual identity at such a vulnerable age." James Poniewozik, in his review for "Time" magazine, stated that the reality show airing on the same network that recently pulled "19 Kids and Counting" off the air feels like a "change of an era."
