Mike explained it back in 2014:
I also think it helps with the "retrospective" angle, since it allows us to view the show a few years past its initial cultural impact.
(On the other hand, Manhattan's cultural impact basically amounted to zero.)

I'm rather new around here so pardon my ignorance, but what's the three year rule? Do reviewed shows have to be at least three years old? Why is that? We writers were talking amongst ourselves a long time ago trying to determine what would be good criteria for reviewing a show. One inclination I think that we all had was that we wanted to steer clear of the "hot take" format that predominates, so I think we collectively agreed on quality over quantity or immediacy, but we were also concerned that coming out of a show's run, there might be the kind of burst of enthusiasm for a project that couldn't hope to be sustained over its lifetime. We wanted to make sure there was more solid reasons for wanting to write about something than excitement, so the delay seemed to benefit both a test of personal enthusiasm, the solidifcation of critical opinion (somewhat), and the commitment to the project.

My new rules will probably involve ordering commenters to address me as "His All-Powerful Eminence." Come to think of it, that should probably be my handle on the main site.
