In a far-fetched manner, SEINFELD could be compared to the popular animated sitcom of FAMILY GUY. The four main characters, George, Elaine, Kramer, and Jerry could be compared to the click of Peter Griffin and his three friends, Quagmire, Cleveland, and Joe. Jerry and his three friends are all, as we pointed out, back stabbing and somewhat cruel towards each other. Peter is somewhat negative and derogatory towards his best friends and never seems to be looking out for them or their best interests. Peter’s selfish nature could be compared to George in a sense that these two characters lie to their friends and even their families. Kramer, Jerry’s weird neighbor, could be compared to Quagmire. Quagmire is sex driven and degrades women as if it were his job. The odd personality of Quagmire, as a neighbor, may have been derived from Kramer. The crude humor in FAMILY GUY is also related to the number of sexual innuendos in SEINFELD. Both shows continually make references toward sex and other inappropriate issues. There may be better examples but the relationship between the characters seems interesting because there are several personality matches.

Thanks, Michael. What "inappropriate issues" are you referring to here? Also, check the correct spelling of your word "click," okay.
Inappropriate may have been the wrong word. What I meant to say was that both shows touch on and make references toward issues such as abortion, homosexuality, racial equality, and several others. Other sitcoms may do the same but not to the extent of these two shows.
