Nah. If you have an idea about the first few seasons, I think you're in good shape. Few shows get that far. Just be aware that a lot of agents, producers, execs, etc. read spec pilots and complain that they can't envision what future episodes would be like. They want to know that you have created a machine for cranking out conflicts and episodes over and over, and not just a fun 60 (or 30) minutes of content.
And if you become so lucky as to get your show made, the future of the series won't be completely up to you, anyway. You'll be working with executives, producers and other writers to lay out the arc of the show.

Wow, "an idea of where the first few seasons are going" -- that sounds terrific! You are on the right track, I think. If you can list the shows and flesh them out a bit, you have a great conversation piece when meeting with a showrunner or exec.
Thank you, amanda for answering my question! And thank you, Dan!
