That was the sentiment during Bill Moyers first appearance before TV writers since leaving CBS News last month to return to PBS. From the podium and from public TV partisans in the audience came cries of "Welcome home and "How good it is to have you back where you belong.

Moyers, who chafed at CBS News over the lack of air time given him there, did not blame anybody for his difficulties, which he said were caused by Hie predicament in which commercial TV finds itself. "My own feeling is the only way networks can save themselves from fading is to do serious reportage about ourselves and our world. It cant be done in 22 minutes of evening news. On public TV, Moyers should have all the time he needs to do what he wants to do and all the financial wherewithal with which to do it thanks to nearly $10 million from public, private and foundation sources. Moyers said he has in the works a series he describes only as "a forum for news of the mind.

For this series, to air in 1988, Moyers was given $5 million by the MacArthur Foundation, beBt known for unsolicited "genius awards to individuals, We have New York Giants By Ben Kubasik LOS ANGELES FOX INC. chairman Barry Diller Bays he is willing "to take ABCs current contract for NFL Monday Night Football and sign it in order to carry the games on his new Fox Broadcasting Co. network. Fox-owned WNYW 5 in New York is among 99 stations carrying Fox programing, which currently consists only of "The Late Show with Joan Rivers. The network plans to add weekend prime-time shows this spring.

ABC, CBS and NBC are ending a five-year $2.1 billion Contract with the National Football League amid reports that they lost a collective $75 million in 1985. ABC Sports President Dennis Swanson has said that, although he would not put dollar figures on ABCs losses on primetime football, they were in "the significant millions in both 85 and '86. Swanson said ABC wants to retain Monday night games, but "we cant subsidize pro football. Explaining his NFL position, Diller said, "Were making long-term investments. We want to be credible.

There are ways to purchase credibility. Were prepared to be more aggressive financially than any of the networks. We would like Monday night football even if it meant wed lose money in the double-digit eight figures. Diller, appearing before newspaper and magazine TV writers here, also elaborated on plans to begin carrying prime-time entertainment shows on Saturdays at the end of May and Sundays on April 5.

She is the author of record, not Joe. And I was even attacked for having had the gall to say anything good about Joe in the first place. "Your brain is softening, suggested Lee Leonard, the legendary talk-show host now with CNN, referring to my "right-handed complimenting of the aberration called The Joe Franklin Show If it wasnt for Billy Ciys-tal his only other contribution to culture being his hawking and spitting act doing a couple of Joe Franklin takeoffs on 'SNL a while back, Joe would remain where he has spent so many long years, in splendid isolation. My gueBS is that until recently even the denizens of the control room on his show watched something else otherwise they would not miss so much of what little ever happens on the show Suggesting that Franklin is anything more than an olive is a disservice to the community as a whole and those of us who labor in these vineyards in particular." Look, I still prefer Max Headroom as a talk-show host. I didnt even say Joe was my favorite on Ch.

Others ran into this problem in reviewing President Reagans hair when that was a major problem in his administration. Someday they will invent a TV set that automatically adjusts hair color to what the people intended it to be in their minds. Whats so bad about a hairpiece, anyway? So many people wear them today. Theyre like eyeglasses. I mean Gene Shalit wears one Telly Savalas It would take a thousand years of history to explain why people are so defensive about hair.

It goes back to biblical days, with the Samson and Delilah Btory. If Samson had been wearing a hairpiece, incidentally, he would have bran saved. Who cares about a mans hair? It's hair today, gone tomorrow. What a man says, what he thinks, what goes on under the scalp is more important. Sandra Andacht, resident antiques expert for "The Joe Franklin Show and editor publisher of The Orientalia Journal of Little Neck, wrote in to say she wasnt upset about the hair, but about my mention of the newest book based on Joe Franklin memorabilia, called "Joe Franklins Show Biz Memorabil Fake Furs 101 Fairchild Ave.
