[edit] Rationale of fair use for Cheers and related character articles

The screenshot is of lower resolution and quality than the original video (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
No free or public domain images have been located for this content.
The screenshot does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the show or DVDs in any way.
The screenshot is intended to represent the nature of the show. Its inclusion in the article is important as an example of an element specifically detailed in the article.
The screenshot is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original show or DVD in any way.

[edit] Is rationale valid?

This image seems to fail the criteria for non-free usage, as its primary use is to illustrate the person who is the topic of the article (John Ratzenberger, playing a character). See: Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Unacceptable_images Thank you. Larry Dunn 13:33, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

for identification and critical commentary on the station ID or program and its contents
