TMDB Season Synopsis: "28th season of a TV series dedicated to the Arts featuring live performances"
Source [1]: "Great Performances (1971)... TV-G... Comedy, Documentary, and Drama... Overview: The best in the performing arts from across America and around the world including a diverse progra"
Source [2]: Discusses "You Can't Take It With You" (a filmed play/revival) featuring David Woods, Jason Robards, Jr., Colleen Dewhurst, and Elizabeth Wilson. Note: This source describes a specific production, but doesn't explicitly link it to Season 28's narrative arc or provide season-specific details beyond the series' general nature.
Overview: The prompt asks for a 160-220 word summary of the season's narrative arc.
Problem: The provided text only says "28th season of a TV series dedicated to the Arts featuring live performances". It does not provide a narrative arc for Season 28. It does not list episodes for Season 28. It only provides a general series overview and a specific mention of a play ("You Can't Take It With You").
Constraint Check: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." "You never invent or guess... plot points."
Result: I cannot write a 160-220 word summary of a narrative arc that does not exist in the text. I can only state what the season is. However, the word count requirement is strict (160-220 words). If I cannot meet the word count without inventing facts, I must prioritize the "verifiable facts" and "omit rather than guess" rule.
Wait: If I write a very short summary
