well, both are based on Shounen Jump Manga series. it\'s the switching between random comedy and some action based plot without difficulty that somehow gives these shows a similar feel. Also, a main chast of charas are introduced and make (random) apperances now and then...overall randomness level is higher in Gintama though.
Both series have a wonderful cast of characters that becomes more colorful and developed as the series goes on. Each title has their own unique set of arcs filled with creative plots and antagonists who establish a sense of threat. Gintama and KHR may seem like ordinary shonen at first, but are enjoyable because of their innovative way of entertaining the audience through comical dialogue and serious battles.
My points as to why the shows are similar:
1. Point 1: the main characters
2. Point 2: the humor
3. Point 3: the one-shot episodes
In more detail:
Point 1: the main characters
Both Tsuna and Gintoki are seen as useless main characters. However, both are really powerful. Tsuna seems more usless, however, as Gintoki is shown to be strong from the getko.
Point 2: both shows have a lot of humor in them.
Gintama's humor is DEFINITELY for a much older audience, however. Gintama's humor can be very profane!

1) Both are long-term manga/animes with stories separated into arcs. Gintama's arcs are quick, terse, but are often very fulfilling and tear jerking at times. Katekyou Hitman Reborn, personally, has my favorite story, but there have only been 2 arcs, both of which take up long periods of time.
2) Both include a lot of comedy, action, epicness, but Gintama also does parodies. Gintama is the better comedy anime, but KHR is more epic.
3) Both are able to amass all of its genres perfectly at different times, at times making you laugh until your stomach flips over, or shed tears at certain arcs. And the best

The first 20 episodes of Reborn! are strongly comedic and then throughout, the air of comedy never really completely goes despite the anime becoming much more of an action show. Gintama is similar in this aspect as it balances humour with action as well as serious plot lines. Both can be as strange as each other too... in a good way! I highly recommend Gintama to Reborn! fans.
