Season overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Create a JSON object for Frasier Season 7.
Keys: overview (160-220 words summary of narrative arc), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points summarizing essential previous lore/character positions/stakes).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. No inventing, no guessing, no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points (in the overview text, though the primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Input Material:
TMDB Synopsis: Season 7 aired from September 23, 1999 to May 18, 2000 on NBC.
Source 1: Frasier (1993), TV-PG, Comedy and Family. Frasier moved from "Cheers" bar back home to Seattle to work as a radio psychiatrist.
Source 2: Created by David Angell, Peter Casey, David Lee. Stars Kelsey Grammer, Jane Leeves, David Hyde Pierce, Peri Gilpin.

Source 4: Continues story of Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer), psychiatrist, radio show host in Seattle.

Overview: The provided text does not contain a narrative arc for Season 7. It only gives the air dates (Sept 23, 1999 to May 18, 2000). It describes the general premise of the series (Frasier moving from Cheers to Seattle to be a radio psychiatrist), but it does not describe the specific plot or narrative arc of Season 7.
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Problem: If I cannot find a narrative arc for Season 7 in the text, I cannot write a 160-220 word summary. The text only says when it aired.
Wait: Let me re-read the synopsis. "The seventh season of Frasier originally aired from September 23, 1999 to May 18, 2000 on NBC." That's it.
