Not necessarily.  I watch the show slavishly and love it.  One of the
things I like most about it is the references to classic films and
TV-shows that pop up as part of the story.  While I get some of the
jokes that relate to US middle-class life, I'm sure I miss many.

But, my point is, the show works on many levels.  Kids love it; adults
love it; foreigners love it.  Can't do much better than that ;)
