If it makes you feel any better "Come Wander with Me" has the highest
production number of the fifth season. Whether this translates as being
filmed later or last is unknown. According to the Twilight Zone
Companion book all 35 episodes had been completed before the rights to
"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" was purchased so that episode may be
considered the last of the fifth season. And that film won an Oscar!
And don't forget "The Time Element" the unofficial first pilot of the
Twilight Zone.
