By having Richard get married the writers either pushed the show into 'jump the shark' territory, or provided new creative avenues for the show to explore. Hopefully it will be the latter.
I thought it was all very well played out though, especially by Lea Thompson. The character of Julia remains annoying, but I guess that's probably done deliberately as we really want Caroline and Richard to be together.
What was also nice about the episode is that the 2nd half played out like a piece of theatre, with all the cast together in one room, interacting with each other.
I hope 'Richard being married' allows the show to be as good as it can be.
