I don't think there is anything in the premise that requires having watched those shows to appreciate the show. Most people are well aware of the basic ideas and memes.

It's also neither difficult, nor uncommon, to have watched at least some of these old shows.

I'm intrigued by these first two episodes, but I don't yet know if I like it. I suppose with the introduction of color at the end of episode 2, we're heading towards 80's and 90's era tv shows? That makes it all the more fun Emma Caulfield (Buffy) is in this, and that Christophe Beck (also Buffy) does the score.
Assuming this all takes place after End Game, I'm thinking Wanda is actually being kept in some sort of reality warping prison by some insidious organisation, or it is a prison of her own making. All we know is that she is being watched, that she has some manner of control over the reality and that both her and Vision have memory loss. There are also various references to other characters and organisations in the commercials, which are probably red herrings. I'm quietly hoping it's not quite as simple, and that the answer is a lot more clever and surprising.
Presuming season 1 ends with an explanation to all this, does this exclude the possibility of a season 2? Because the mystery and the riffs on old tv shows are pretty much the premise of the whole show, right?

Potentially. I did read something the other day that seemed to suggest the MCU's foray into TV would mostly consist of "event series".

It would make sense. It would allow them to fill in the gaps towards the next phase of big budget movies with smaller stories. Of course, due to Corona, tv shows are a much better idea right now anyway, since nobody is going to the movie theaters.
I noticed there were a few details in Wandavision they got wrong in regards to imitating tv from that era, although arguably it might even be deliberate. Episode 2 had several scenes outside the house, which on a show of that era would most often just be a very obvious set, or stock footage. Also, people of color! Shock! But I think the show might be playing a bit here with the idea that some of the tvshow's characters are more than what they seem. Do some of the other characters know they are inside some sort of warped reality? Are they real people? Or is only Wanda real?

First, we will get the 70's with The Brady Bunch (as seen from the clips), and maybe something like Happy Days. Oh my, your post just gave me a crazy thought.....what if they riff on Mork and Mindy? I don't think they will, but watching Vison day Na-Nu Na-Nu would be awesome.

Another thing that came to me, is that apparently there is also going to be a Halloween episode. Its in the trailer, and the Vanity Fair article mentions that it may be based on an iconic comic:
"In a Halloween story line (which may or may not have inspired the upcoming Halloween episode of WandaVision), Wanda and Vision have to battle both some neighborhood kids who have been transformed into ghouls and the spirit of Samhain himself."
This plot in itself is very similar to a plot in the Halloween episode of season 2 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in which everyone transforms into their costume. Lots of Buffy overlap happening in this show so far.
