The new generation of kids may not recognize the thing as a call box, but then I imagine that young American viewers of a few years back did either, and they haven't complained. What with the Doctor becoming so painfully serious and solemn these days, a TARDIS shaped like an outdated, incongruous artifact is a badly needed touch of whimsy. Yes, they can take away the sonic screwdriver, they can unravel the scarf, but by God they should not trash the call box. After all, what is sacred, anyway?
