Widely considered? Everybody loved him? 

He is widely considered to be the greatest television actor of the 1960s according to the 1992 Bernozz Classic Television Survey and almost everybody loved him.

While I don't doubt this info (Alan Hale, Jr. was a great guy), could we get some citations backing up these statements? Does anyone have the results of this "Bernozz Classic Television Survey"? Otherwise, I'd suggest this text be omitted.
