No similarities whatsoever except the landscape. How Seth McFarlane has an audience is unbelievable.
I loved Family Guy when it first aired on Fox. Then it was cancelled. When Fox brought it back, it had changed. He went political with it, and downright stupid. Haven't watched more than a few episodes of the newer stuff. McFarlane actually was supposed to be on one of the 9/11 flights that were brought down by Islamists. He missed the flight. You'd think that experience would have opened his eyes, but, alas, it did not.
