Two and a Half Men (2003)

Charlie is a successful and affluent bachelor in his early 40's who has a career writing advertisement jingles. Charlie resides in a large ocean front home in Malibu, California, and is portrayed as a chauvinistic, hedonistic womanizer. The pilot begins when his uptight brother Alan becomes divorced from his wife, loses his house to her and has to move in with his brother. Alan's somewhat overweight 10-year-old son (now 13) Jake often stays for weekends and at other times.

Rose is Charlie's zany neighbor and female stalker. We learn Rose had a one-night-stand with Charlie shortly before the show started and keeps entering his house through the patio in the most inopportune moments, expressing her ambition of obtaining Charlie, and often serving as a good albeit crazy friend and adviser. Although obviously troubled herself, Rose has stated a few times that she has a Master's degree in psychology. In various episodes it is insinuated that Rose is very slowly orchestrating a psychological plan to win Charlie back. Early in the series she's heard to say (to herself) "Phase one, complete"
