Convert Json object output to Jquery array format

Question

Below is the Json output i am getting on Client Side:

jsonp1363710839478({"Comment":[{"Author":"Plan_A","CommentText":"AI like hay almost as much as I like sun. Just joking","Title":"AMaking hay when the sun shines"},{"Author":"Plan_B","CommentText":"I like hay almost as much as I like sun. Just joking","Title":"Making hay when the sun shines"}]});

How to convert this to the example below:

var sample= [
                       { Title: "The Red Violin", Author: "1998" },
                       { Title: "Eyes Wide Shut", Author: "1999" },
                      { Title: "The Inheritance", Author: "1976" }
                      ];

Below is my full code:

Code behind:

   [OperationContract]
    [WebGet(ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
    public CommentList GetComments()
    {
        Comments oComment1 = new Comments();
        oComment1.Title = "AMaking hay when the sun shines";
        oComment1.Author = "Plan_A";
        oComment1.CommentText = "AI like hay almost as much as I like sun. Just joking";

        Comments oComment2 = new Comments();
        oComment2.Title = "Making hay when the sun shines";
        oComment2.Author = "Plan_B";
        oComment2.CommentText = "I like hay almost as much as I like sun. Just joking";

        CommentList oCommentList = new CommentList();
        oCommentList.Comment.Add(oComment1);
        oCommentList.Comment.Add(oComment2);

        return oCommentList;
    }

Client Call Jquery:

 $('#CommentsButton').click(function () {
        $.getJSON('http://localhost:55679/RESTService.svc/GetComments?callback=?', function (data) {

            for (var i = 0; i < data.Comment.length; i++) {

                alert(data.Comment[i].Author);


            }

        });

I am new to Jquery so detail explanation/code would be appreciated.

You want to change what the client receives?

 public Comments[] GetComments()
 {
    .....
    return new Comments[]{oComment1, oComment2};
 }

EDIT

[OperationContract]
[WebGet(ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
public Comments[] GetComments()
{
    Comments oComment1 = new Comments();
    oComment1.Title = "AMaking hay when the sun shines";
    oComment1.Author = "Plan_A";
    oComment1.CommentText = "AI like hay almost as much as I like sun. Just joking";

    Comments oComment2 = new Comments();
    oComment2.Title = "Making hay when the sun shines";
    oComment2.Author = "Plan_B";
    oComment2.CommentText = "I like hay almost as much as I like sun. Just joking";

    return new Comments[]{oComment1, oComment2};
}

@Khan I just changed the return type and added a line after oComment2.CommentText=..... . Below lines can be removed

Any reason the data in your JSON response bears no relation to that of your second code example?

Do you not just need to omit the fields you dont want (CommentText) and change the value of the comment text?

[OperationContract]
[WebGet(ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
public CommentList GetComments()
{
    Comments oComment1 = new Comments();
    oComment1.Title = "Your Title";
    oComment1.Author = "Your Date";

    Comments oComment2 = new Comments();
    oComment2.Title = "Your Title";
    oComment2.Author = "Your Date";

    Comments oComment2 = new Comments();
    oComment3.Title = "Your Title";
    oComment3.Author = "Your Date";

    CommentList oCommentList = new CommentList();
    oCommentList.Comment.Add(oComment1);
    oCommentList.Comment.Add(oComment2);
    oCommentList.Comment.Add(oComment3);

    return oCommentList;
}
