Up until the appearance of Greed, the two shows are very similar. After that, they split off in totally different directions.

This is also why the first thirteen or fourteen episodes of Brotherhood are so rushed. They figured most people watching Brotherhood had seen the original FMA, and so they didn't need to go as in-depth. Personally, this is one of my largest gripes with the show, as I think they skipped at least two important episodes, and Brotherhood seems to have a better execution in general.

FMA was my favorite manga, and I am glad they finally translated it to the anime. Brotherhood is excellent.
