Wakanda for a little while!
Hate it if you want, but the sense of humor of the two shows is wildly different. I never watch Family Guy.

Don't listen to MattJohn. 
There's genuine insight in a lot of it. That said, every show that tries to be genuine about human condition/relationship stuff is going to seem pretentious to someone, so your mileage may vary.

Hard to answer, depends on what you don't get about it.
It's simultaneously very silly and very subtle, very grown-up, even if that grown-up stuff will come in a scene immediately after something totally absurd. You probably need to buy into the world a little to get the most out of it, though, since the premise alone is pretty out there.
Personally, I loved it, and there are some really great lines and some great concept episodes down the line, too.

How far into it are you?
I used to love mozzarella sticks as much as anything. Now I think they're...fine? I dunno, they all just taste so similar to me, they seem to not vary in quality. Never terrible, never great.

I think there'll still be some great stuff. Pete Docter's at the helm and all, but the pipeline is measured in years so I'd expect there to be an interim dip in quality.
Or maybe Docter's just a great animated director and would be better in that role. I dunno.

Yeah, at a certain point it would be unthinkable to not even bother to watch several of their films, in a row, but that's basically where I am.
The lawn care equivalent of the expensive stereo/rims/whatever on the beater car, yes.
