It's been a little over a month since NBC unexpectedly pulled the plug on the Dane Cook-starring comedy Next Caller before it even aired, but it looks like the drama surrounding the unceremonious cancellation isn't over. In a new post on his blog, series creator Stephen Falk put the network on blast for the abrupt decision, comparing it to a 10.0 earthquake and the eruption of stratovolcano Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD Italy.

Falk goes on to explain his side of the story, saying he's not sure why NBC cancelled the show, but that there were definite disagreements with its creative direction. "We are monkeys who need to look into each other’s faces to gauge true intent," Falk continued in the post, "and on speakerphone with 11 people (9 of whom you haven’t met) giving you notes on something you’ve made your whole writing staff stay up until 3am working on in the room, miscommunication can be the only outcome."
It doesn't look like any bridges are too charred, however; Falk is currently working on another pilot at NBC, and one at cable network Showtime.
