For the most part,most of the children characters on "The Twilight Zone"were nice(Jeb and Sport Sharewood in 1964's "The Bewitchin Pool"-I felt sorry for them-having parents like that- written by Earl Hamner,the last show of the series,and is a love it or hate it episode ,the little black boy Henry in 1960's "The Big Tall Wish"written by Rod Serling,the kids in 1962's "The Fugitive",and the adorable,nice little black haired girl(no,not that not so nice Markie in the same episode)at the end of 1960's "Nightmare as a Child"written by Rod Serling,among others.)But there WERE some who were very rude-examples:That vicious brat named Susan (played by Suzanne Cupito(now known as Morgan Brittany-the same actress who played that adorable little black haired girl in 1960's "Nightmare as a Child",)in 1964's terrible "Caesar and Me",and that very rude boy in 1962's "Young Man's Fancy"

The girl at the end of "Nightmare as a Child" was also Suzanne Cupito. The Kids in "I Sing the Body Electric" seemed nice except for Anne who didn't start out that way. Billy Mumy was great in all 3 of his roles. Ron Howard done a good job as the Wilcox boy in "Walking Distance" but that scene is usually cut in the syndicated version. The kid in "Young Man's Fancy" which happens to be my least favorite episode was very annoying.

Susan from "Caesar and Me" was my all-time least favorite child character (if not character overall) in the series. She reminded me of a nasty girl that I knew in elementary school. You and Zicree in his TZ book both accurately describe her as a "vicious brat".
