Law is back, and NBC's Thursday lineup is back to full strength. The Cosby Show p.m..

Ch. 3) Want to know how fast, and far, time flies? Tonight's plot is all about a schoolmate romance and the spotlight is on young Rudy (Keshia Knight Pulliam). Bill Cosby stars. NBC. 48 Hours (8-9 p.m..

Ch. 10) Taking a cue from Deborah Nor-ville's Bad Girls (though, it's all but assured, doing a better job), Innipht's 4H Hours is scheduled to summer, with airing scheduled for the 1991-92 season. According to Mike Quattrone, Channel 12 director of broadcasting. Dinosaurs! (catchy title) is the only new project to earn SPC funding this year. Quattrone credits the coup to the public's fascination with dinosaurs.

Bottom line is $2.3 million for the series, to be shot in North America and, possibly, in China and the Soviet Union. (They'll crank up the beg-athons for the other mil.) Each segment will be an hour. Part 1: "The Monsters Part 2: "The World of the Part 3: "The New Part 4: "The Death of the Dinosaur." Short stuff. ABC News exile Av Westin, now in charge of King World's Inside Edition, has snared Democratic U.S. Rep.

Joseph Kennedy of Massachusetts as a free-lance reporter. His on-air debut is slated for Thanksgiving. Departing Today show anchor Jane Pauley, who did Phil Donahue's talkie last week, will chat up Johnny Carson on Nov. 15 Disney TV and Touchstone TV This one's definitely on the back burner, but an in-house anchor battle may be simmering at Channel 3. If Grant Tinker's pilot Celebrity Update, co-hosted by Channel 3's Jerry Penacoli, gets enough nibbles at the National Association of TV Programming Executives' annual buffet in January, KYW-TV will let Penacoli out of his contract.

And that means Penacoli 's 5:30 p.m. co-anchor slot with Pat Ciarrocchi would be up for grabs. Channel 3 weekend anchor Jack Jones, who just returned to the air after surgery, and Howard Joffe, Troubleshooter 3 ace and noon co-anchor, both would love the potential plum. (Jones says it; Joffe hints at it.) KYW-TV news boss Randy Covington says he hasn't given it a thought. Joffe, Jones' weekend backup and an ocassional fill-in for Steve Bell at 6 p.m.

weekdays, is considered the longer shot of the two possible candidates. "I think my stock is high here," says Joffe, 35, a graduate of New York's Yeshiva University Law School, who passed the New York W1P-AM station manager Nelson Cohen yesterday confirmed that Neil Hartman, who does the 76ers' halftime show for Channel 17. has been hired as a free-lance anchor for the all-sports station. Speaking of WPHL-TV, Sixers broadcasters Neal Funk and Steve Mix will do 10 Temple basketball games there this season as part of an Atlantic 10 Conference package. Channel 10 weekend anchor Stephanie Stahl has signed a new, three-year contract, the station announced yesterday.

rw state bar exam on his first try. (Eat your heart out, John F. Kennedy Jr.) Joffe has never practiced law. TV is his first love. "I think they like me on the air.

and I'm very pleased they've given lots of positive signs to make me feel confident and secure here," Joffe adds. "I don't walk around worrying about my job." He would continue with Troubleshooter 3 if he got the 5:30 chair. Jones, 39, says: "I'm absolutely interested in the job, of course. It's a chance to do more. I deserve it because of my experience and expertise.

I'm really not concerned about other candidates. If management wants me to have it, then I'll have it." Ch-ch-oh-changes. CBS is juggling its Monday lineup to make room for the return of Matt Frewer's Doctor, Doctor, the network announced yesterday. The new schedule begins Nov. 13.

Jon Cryer's The Famous Teddy now seen at 9:30 p.m., will move to 8:30, after Major Dad. Murphy Brown, with Candice Bergen, stays at 9. Designing Women (now at 10) and Newhart (10:30) both will move up half an hour. Doctor, Doctor, which had a successful summer run, will operate at 10:30. Got that? Leapin' lizards.

Channel 12 is returning to the Stone Age. (Some critics think it never left. Just kidding, Rick Breitenfeld.) The public station has received a S1.3 million grant from PBS's Station Program Cooperative to produce a four-part series on dinosaurs. David Othmer is exec producer. Production begins this I St.

4 visit "Women Doing Time." CBS. Kadeem Hardison and Lisa Bonet on "A Different World," 8:30 on Channel 1 A Different World p.m.. Ch. 3) Here's a noteworthy homecoming: Lisa Bonet, whose character of Denise was spun off from The Cosby Show into A Different World, was sent out of that world after she became pregnant in real life. Now she's back on Cosby as a regular and, tonight, guest stars on the Different World that is now a different show, with a new executive producer, new co-stars and with Jasmine Guy firmly in the starring position.

NBC. Cheers p.m., Ch. 3) This episode is a hoot: There's another guest appearance by a politician, this time Boston Mayor Ray Flynn, who brings an award to commemorate the bar's 100th anniversary. Flynn had better be a better politician than comedian, but his appearance prompts one of the show's all-time funniest lines, courtesy of Woody Harrelson's Woody. Wait for it.

Oh, and hardly as an afterthought, Lilith (Be be Neuwirth) has a baby the old-fashioned way: off-camera, the way Lucy did it. NBC. Dear John p.m.. Ch. 3) Jan Hooks of Saturday Night Live guest stars as a flighty flight attendant who becomes obsessed with John (Judd Hirsch).

NBC. LA. Law (10-1 1 p.m., Ch. 3) The season premiere of L.A. Law covers all the bases literally (thanks to a softball game with a rival law firm) and figuratively.

Topics include the concern that Benny (Larry Drake) and Alice (Amanda Plummer) are having sex (hence the episode's rather insensitive title, "The Unsterile a trial in which Sifuentes (Jimmy Smits) defends a furrier, and a memorably risque exchange between Kuzak (Harry Hamlin) and Grace (Susan Dey). Beware of grisly footage, supplied by the Humane Society, of small animals being snared in brutal traps. The fur industry has responded by sending TV critics information stating that only 25 percent of fur garments in America come from trapped animals but that hardly seems a persuasive argument. NBC. Cable American Playwrights Theater (9-10 p.m., James Earl Jones and Mario Van Peebles star in a version of Marsha Norman's Third and Oak: The Pool Hall, the first of four one-act plays scheduled each month through February by i i 'Z Jones, left, and Joffe covet 5:30 co-anchor job at KYW-TV Cryer a new time for "Teddy Prime time Closed captioned Pnot.
