What will I do for Star Trek afternoons with no Channel One? 
Yes. I should imagine it's on cable too but I don't know since we don't have it....for TV at least.

When??
Well they showed series 1...or the first part of series 1...or what ever it was a few months ago. I have no idea when it's due back on.

They should put the original series back on. At least the adorable Michael Ironside was in that

What?
I'm really confused. I was watching it last year and it stopped at a really odd place. Was that a full series or have the started it again or what?
Season One had twelve episodes and ended when Erica destroyed Anna's soldier eggs, there's a massive fleet of Visitor ships waiting in space and Earth's skies turn blood red.
Season Two began last week (in the States - I watched it on a streaming site) I have no idea when it's scheduled to be shown here.
Those who liked the original series keep watching.

Why not just buy it on DVD like I did ages ago?

No, because I don't remember the ending.
Wasn't it like Alien Nation and you never got to see how it ended? I'm still angry about that. Maybe they'll remake that

There was V, V: The Final Battle (I took that to be the 'proper' ending), and then some sort of weekly serial which I think most people agreed was crap and gave up on. V & The Final Battle are worth owning.

I'm sure Michael Ironside was in the series wasn't he?

Ironside was in The Final Battle and some of the weekly series, which he left about partway through.
Nah, The Final Battle was pretty crap too, not by the series standards, but it was a big fall in quality from the original mini-series. The network took over after the first series and changed it from the planned arc. The creator wanted V to run for years (maybe a couple of decades) as an annual/bi-annual mini-series detailing a long-term occupation showing how the general populace would go along with their oppressors.

Yeah, The Final Battle wasn't as good as the first one, but not watching The Final Battle would leave you without a conclusion. Plus I think Michael Ironside isn't in it until The Final Battle (and he continued on into the series).
Oh, as much as I enjoy the new V, can I just say it contains the worst use of a Sigur Ros track ever?

I can't remember what order things came in, it was decades ago, but it definitely picked up when Michael Ironside appeared!

My favourite thing about Michael Ironside is that he's a loyal friend. The guy in The Final Battle and weekly series who played his partner, Chris Farber, is his real life best friend, Mickey Jones. Ironside nearly always gets him a small part in the movies he's in. He's the miner on the Mars shuttle pod as Arnie escapes from the spaceport on Total Recall for example.
