WATCH NOW FATHER’S DAY Tacky on the surface, this first teaming of comics Robin Williams and Billy Crystal is a sentimental tribute to the joys and rewards of being a good father. It won’t make any all time comedy lists, but its aspirations are modest, probably something like the old Hope-Crosby series. The story is
