"Is Taekwondo the same as Tang Soo Do?

Taekwondo is a different and distinct practice of martial arts that is related but different from Tang Soo Do.  Tang Soo Do was founded is the 1940's by Grand Master Hwang Kee (founder of Moo Duk Kwan).  Unlike Taekwondo, Tang Soo Do uses a different set of forms (pre-arranged patterns of movements/strikes/blocks, etc.)  Taekwondo as an olympic sport practices different free sparring rules.

Both share a Korean heritage with similar background but Taekwondo placed an emphasis on both local and international organization and development.  Tang Soo Do decided not to adopt the sporting model and while practiced by thousands is not as widely practiced as Taekwondo.
