Where has Jefferaldo been?
CI Season 6 has premiered in Oz, and he posted this Aussie Promo Ad on the Reel.
BTW, you can also access the NBC video preview clip for "Albatross" from the same page on the Reel.

Saw that one last night. I was just flicking over to another channel when it started at the end of SVU. I flicked back, but my lazy tv missed most of it, up to Eames saying "... next" D'oh! Still, thanks for linking it edit #2: Cut differently to the one I saw (which ended on Eames)

There has been some discussion on the NBC board that the VDO excerpt of this promo was originally taped about two years ago when VDO was in Australia promoting his deal with Channel 10 about the master thief mini series (which fell through). Opinions are mixed about how he looks in this promo. The black & white approach doesn't flatter either one of them.

I like the new SVU promo ads Here's hoping they do similar ones for CI. And according to the reel, they did!

id like to point out that these were actually done in the states and then sent here. I just sent another one to the real with all 5 ci cast members on it. They have this also for SVU (but only 3 of the actors), supernatural and maybe others I haven't seen yet. Now obviously, not all of them came to Aus to shoot them. My conclusion: TEN made deals with the production companies to get them to do it.
I also noticed that in TEN's promos this year, they have no extra background music from the actual episode - in previous years, in some scenes when they shows previews of the episode, Mike Post's background music for the clip is clearly heard underneath TEN's promo music. This season, its gone - so maybe TEN pulled off deals to get the actors to do promos and also to get the version of the episode without background music aswell as the one that will go to air.

Yeah, it'd make a lot more sense to send out a small company to do the filming, rather than the expense of flying a load of stars out. I didn't really notice the music, I just figured they were going for a new format this year anyway. Does anyone know if any of the older ones ended up online?

Thank you Jeff, for the link to the new CI promo. I just checked it out on The Reel. It is fabulous!
Not to vent at you, but GOD ALMIGHTY!!! Why, why, why can't a U.S. station work out an equivalent deal like Ten has? Promos like these would be great for CI's ratings.
It was believed that VDO was reluctant to do promos, interviews, and the like to promote CI this season. Well, I guess he's not, at least for Australian TV. Is that because he has a special affection for Oz? Is it the $$$? I just don't get it.

I doubt he gets money for it as it is promoting his show. There's probably some clause in his contract that stipulates he has to do a reasonable amount of promotion for the show for free
