 TheTVDB collects manually picked screen shots for each episode. It would
 be nice to show them instead of a randomly picked preview image (I get
 lots of episodes with random advertisment as preview which leaves room for
 improvement.) The only downside is the restricted size.
 From their wiki:
   Episode images are small screenshots of each episode.
   Here's The Breakdown of the system
   1. Images are limited to one per episode
   2. Images are limited to a maximum size of 400 x 300 (400x225 for 16:9
 images)
   5. Images should be uploaded in their original aspect ratio if the show
 is 16:9 then that should be the ratio of the image, even if your local
 network broadcast it in 4:3.
   6. '''Images should be an non-spoiler action shot from the episode not
 randomly generated so we just get a shot of a building or a street
 light.'''
   7. Images must be appropriate for viewing at a workplace. (i.e. NO
 NUDITY)
   8. Images shouldn't just be a title shot from the episode we already
 know the episode's name we don't need to see it again.
