Fair use for Friday Night, Saturday Morning edit

This image is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (bingo99) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

• it is a low resolution still of a television show;
• it does not limit the copyright owners rights to sell the film in any way;
• the image was taken by a DVD screen capturer which means this not the original portrait;
• it allows for identification of the main characters;
• it illustrates the television in question and aids commentary on the plot outline.
• There is no free equivalent
• Meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
• Copyright is attributed
• It significantly increases readers understanding of the topic. Its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.
• As few non-free content uses as possible are included in the article
• It is only available in a page where the Television show it is from is under discussion
• It is used in at least one article
