In my opinion, The Monkees in Paris is the episode that’s most similar to Head. 

TW: Suicide

In The Monkees in Paris, Davy, Mike, Peter, and Micky get fed up with the writers and director and leave the set. This is all part of the script. They go to Paris and get chased by obsessive fans. (Side note: I read that this storyline was probably inspired by A Hard Days Night, which makes sense.) This is especially interesting because, usually on the show the Monkees are portrayed as a struggling band that most people haven’t heard of. However, in this episode, they’re immediately recognized in Paris. A group of girls attacked Micky and attempted to rip his clothes off. Later, all four of them fall off the Eiffel Tower and die, but they’re alive and back on the usual set in the next scene. This episode illustrates the illusion of choice that’s often depicted on the show and even more in the movie and their bizarre self-awareness. 

In Head, the Monkees are significantly more famous. Micky, Davy, Peter, and Mike’s presence is either met with enthusiasm (an understatement) or annoyance. After a concert, they get attacked by some fans who rip their clothes off. Their bodies are actually mannequins in this scene. This adds to the theme of them being 'manufactured'. Throughout the movie, they walk off the sets because they don’t like the writing and argue with the director. The movie started with Micky committing suicide by jumping off a bridge, but he was perfectly fine in the next scene. The movie ended with all four of them committing suicide together, but in the next scene, they’re shown alive in a tank on the set. 

I hope some of that makes sense. It's like 2:30 am but I wanted to get that out of my head. No pun intended. Also I think I might've switched up my tenses so bear with me.

“Peter is the warmest, most caring, concerned and loving person I have ever known in my life. If the whole world were made up of Peter Torks, it would be like a peaceful and serene heaven.” - Sally Field, 16 Magazine, September 1968 “Mike wandered over to the empty chair next to me, and flopped himself down, muttering, ‘Hello,’ and tapping the top of my head with a friendly pat. I judged by the quiet, contented look on his face he wasn’t in a talkative mood, so I simply whispered ‘Hello’ back. We sat in silence for five minutes, and watch the activity of the crew preparing for the next scene. Sally Field, the young star of another Screen-Gem TV series, ‘Flying Nun,’ suddenly came cycling on the set dressed in her white nun’s habit. Parking her cycle, she sneaked up behind Peter and gave him an enormous bear hug. Peter, in turn, gathered her up in his arms, and ran off, yelling, ‘Have nun… will travel,’ and singing ‘You’re getting to be a habit with me…’ Mike simply shook his head and laughed.” - article by Jane Marshall, NME, September 23, 1967

Ever since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to obsess over rockstars the rest of my life

Just finished hamlet & had to share THIS

character misses their shot and the villain goes "ha! you missed." and the main character goes "did i?" and then shoots the villain again while they're frantically looking around the room for what the hero could possibly have aiming for instead

These rockstars have the nerv to make seven minute songs🙄 and they're GOOD so you HAVE to listen to them or else Brian May will have to kick down your door
