He skipped out on "I Was A 99-lb. Weakling" (a.k.a. "Physical Culture") and "The Monkees Watch Their Feet" (a.k.a. "Micky And The Outer Space Creatures") due to recovery from his tonsillectomy. His absence from "The Card-Carrying Red Shoes" was probably due to artistic differences. And he abandoned ship from "Hitting The High Seas" when his insides did the same thing (seasickness!!).

Basically, Mike Nesmith was a self-centered egotistical ***hole. You see it in his interviews, you see it in the way everyone else speaks about him. He signed on for the show when he needed the work, then hated everything about it because it didn't revolve around him. He fell into huge money because his mother, who was a typist, happened to invent Liquid Paper. He then had an endless supply of money he could waste on his crappy vanity projects.
