Season overview
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "Martha Speaks" Season 4.
Keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No invented/guessed info (titles, names, dates, etc.).
Constraint 3: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Constraint 4: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points in the prose.
Constraint 5: Output valid JSON only.
Constraint 6: overview must be 160-220 words.
[1] TMDB: Season 4 premiered February 20, 2012. Martha is a beloved family dog, accidentally fed alphabet soup, gives her power of speech.
[2] IMDb: Cast and crew credits.
[3] Wikipedia: Animated educational children's series based on 1992 book by Susan Meddaugh. Debuted Sept 1, 2008, on PBS.
[4] TMDB Cast/Crew: Martha is a beloved family dog, accidentally fed alphabet soup, gives her power of speech and chance to speak her mind to anyone that will listen.
Overview: I need to write 160-220 words about Season 4's narrative arc.
Problem: The provided sources do not contain any information about the narrative arc of Season 4. They only state the premiere date (Feb 20, 2012) and the general premise of the series (Martha eats alphabet soup and can talk).
Constraint Check: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." "Do not invent plot events or spoilers."
Dilemma: If I write 160-220 words about the narrative arc of Season 4, I will be inventing information because the source only says "Season 4 of Martha Speaks premiered on February 20, 2012." It says nothing about what happens in Season 4.
Strict Adherence: I cannot fulfill the word count requirement for the overview without violating the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules. However, usually, in these prompts, if the info isn't there, the model should state what is known or, if the prompt forces a specific length, it's a trap.
