Tonight’s episode of The Twilight Zone might remind you of a previous episode entitled The Dummy. Once again, we have a story about a ventriloquist (Jackie Cooper) and a dummy who appears to have a mind of his own. (In fact, the same prop dummy was used in both episodes.) However, Caesar and Me is an even darker take on the conflict between puppet and puppeteer.
Seriously, don’t mess with Caesar.
This episode originally aired on April 10th, 1964.
Through the Shattered Lens 
Twilight zone episode “Ceaser and me” was alright. An interesting plotline of a down on his luck man that has trouble finding anyone who will give him a job, whos only experience is ventriloquism, faces his dummy coming to life and telling him to resort to crime, to burglary. The man, so desperate just to pay his rent and to be able to eat, goes along with it. The worst part about the episode is the brattiest little girl, who not only is constantly rude to the man and taunting him for not being able to get a job and eavesdroping on his conversations with the dummy, she also informs on him, snitches on him to the police over one of the burglaries the dummy made him commit. The police in turn immediately come to his place and take him away. And that’s the episode.
