1. The English-language Wikipedia is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., a non-profit charitable organization.
2. The article for which this use occurs is purely educational in nature and, thus, is non-commercial.
3. The sole purpose of this use of the copyrighted image is to visually identify the television series in question.
4. Said image is the primary means of visual identification of the main topic of the article; that is, the television series.
5. The image is used only once in the article, and is used in a section or "information box" that is neutral in tone.
6. The image is an iconic, representative image of the show, from the introduction that began each episode.
7. Since it is a screenshot from a copyrighted television series, the image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
8. Digital versions of this image have been previously published on numerous websites, so this use on Wikipedia does not make the image significantly more accessible.
9. The market for the original television series will not be diminished by this use of the image. In fact, this use is likely to encourage the increased legitimate sales of recorded media of the series and television viewership.
