"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.

I think his popularity may have dipped in recent years.

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.
