It's a copyrighted image, so it could only be uploaded under the rules for "non-free" items, if at all. Choose the section "This is an excerpt from a copyrighted work", then follow the instructions on what further information to provide. Please be aware that there cannot be a guarantee that you will end up with an acceptable upload. The wizard is as complicated as it is because it has to be: most images out there on the web simply aren't useable in Wikipedia, and if this wizard doesn't seem to show you an easy and straightforward way of uploading it, the most likely reason is that your picture really doesn't fit in any of the legitimate use cases. In the case of a TV screenshot like this, you will have to provide a convincing reason why a reader would need this particular screenshot to adequately understand the content of the article. This will only be possible if the specific scene shown in the picture is the object of substantial discussion in the article. Since you already have another picture about the show as a whole, an upload would otherwise be hard to justify.

Things have changed...

...since I was here last. Xaosflux, Was any beta testing done on this tool? The initial page loads up with some incomprehensible gibberish below the "Click here to start the upload wizard" button, and why does it not allow users to license their work via CC-BY-SA 4.0? Specifically, the page I get looks like this:

File:Upload wizard error page.jpg

screenshot of upload error page

One more thing: wouldn't it make sense to tell uploaders that this upload tool should only be used for images that are going to get a fair use argument, and that otherwise all media should be uploaded through Commons instead of Wikipedia? Because the vast majority of Wikipedia media uploads get shifted there anyway. KDS4444 (talk) 14:42, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for flagging up the display problem in the links. Those are apparently due to a recent change in a template used [1]. The CC 4.0 versions aren't there yet because nobody got around to updating the form since they were introduced. As for the question of how to treat or discourage local free uploads, that's been discussed repeatedly here on talk. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:57, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

@Carlostench: Have you looked into Help: Files? You may find the answer there. See especially the section Help: Files#Uploading files. --Thnidu (talk) 14:45, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
