"Is Ed O'Neill the longest running, most popular T.V. dad?"

Popular and long-running are different things. O'Neill seems likely for long-running, but most-popular...sorry...is Bill Cosby. He defined a whole generation of TV dads in the 1980s, which then provoked a generation of satire dads, including Al, Homer, and Dan Conners.

Edit: asking about the most popular is not the same as asking about your personal favorite.

What exactly does popular mean for you?

Obviously we don’t look at Cosby in the same light anymore, but a show about a black family being number #1 on network television was a pretty big deal 30+ years ago.

Not raping women for starters.

*Apparently some people are in favour of raping women.🙄

Rape a few dozen women and suddenly your legacy is tarnished.

Okay. Good. I’m not the only one. With the downvotes sometimes it’s hard to tell.
