More likely whoever got top credit had a better agent or was better 
known to the producers.

The Twilight Zone S4E03 'Valley of the Shadow' - DVR
A reporter (Ed Nelson) visits a town whose inhabitants can manipulate 
time, energy and matter.  With James Doohan.  (Comcast)
A reporter stumbles into a peaceful town where miracles seem to occur 
due to technology and the townsfolk won't let him leave.  (IMDb)
Trivia: James Doohan (Mr. Johnson) is one of 4 regular Star Trek (1966) 
actors to have been in The Twilight Zone. William Shatner was in 
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (1963) and Nick of Time (1960) . Leonard Nimoy 
was in A Quality of Mercy (1961), and George Takei in The Encounter (1964).
David Opatoshu (Mr. Dorn) also played the head of another place with 
strange secrets; in A Taste of Armageddon (1967) he was Anan 7, head of 
the council on planet Eminiar VII, in which the Enterprise landing party

The Twilight Zone S4E05 'Mute' - DVR
Parents raise their daughter (Ann Jillian) without verbal communication 
in order to fully develop her telepathic powers.  (Comcast)
The orphaned daughter of telepathic parents must learn to speak and deal 
with a world she cannot communicate in.  (IMDb)
Trivia: The main street that Ilsa runs across is the same one used in I 
Sing the Body Electric (1962). Located on the MGM backlot in Culver 
City, it was known as the "New England Street", and is same set that was 
featured in the Andy Hardy movies, starring Mickey Rooney., Elvis 
Presley's "Jailhouse Rock", Frank Sinatra's "Some Came Running" and the 
1970s musical fantasy "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band", starring 
The Bee Gees, which was the last major film shot there. Much of the MGM 
backlot had been demolished in 1974, and the remainder, including the 
New England Street, was pulled down in 1978, soon after filming wrapped 
on "Sgt Pepper's".


Well, one good thing about working through all these TZ episode, my DVR 
is down to below 50% full.  :P
