$.getJSON("@Url.Action("Search")", $("#jsonform").serialize(), function (data) {
   $("#results").html("");
   $("#phoneTemplate").tmpl(data).appendTo("#results");
   });
return false;
});

I use this code along with template plugin for jquery to get json data from an action and render it on the client.

are you hiting your action with ajax call? do you construct your json with JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet set?

return Json(yourdata ,JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

The $.getJSON() method signature is 

jQuery.getJSON(url, [data], [callback(data, textStatus, xhr)])

...so it should look like this:

$.getJSON(gridDataUrl, function(jsonData) {
  alert(jsonData);
});

Note that the first param is the URL as just a string (not a label) and that both data and the callback are optional (denoted by [] in the signature). The above should only alert [object Object] though, since it's the overall object...you'll need jsonData.propertyName for example to get something meaningful out.
