Episode chronology

"Sliding Bobs" is the 1st episode and season premeire of the sixth season of the animated comedy series Bob's Burgers and the overall 89th episode, and is written by Greg Thompson and directed by Don MacKinnon. It aired on Fox in the United States on September 27, 2015. In the episode, Bob begins to notice that he is losing hair from his moustache, Linda tells how important his moustache was in their meeting. The kids then tell their own versions of how Bob and Linda would have met, if Bob didn't have a moustache at that time.

Plot

A diminishing moustache causes Linda to reminisce with Bob and the kids about the night she and Bob first met. Was it fate? Some parents tell boring and repetitive stories, but, with a bit of imagination, their offspring may devise more intricate tales of their parents' first encounter. Was there battle worthy of Terminator v. Roomba? Is the universe really random? Clap for the Bobman...you're going to dig him until the day you die.

Reception

Alasdair Wilkins of The A.V. Club gave the episode an A, saying, "Sliding Bobs" manages to have the best of all possible worlds. On the one hand, it’s another of the show’s increasingly common crazy trilogy episodes, in which we see a common theme developed through each of the Belcher children’s uniquely fractured perspectives. This is an episode that gets in goofiest possible Robocop pastiche, a tragically hairy romance, and a deeply self-referential callback to the show’s very first episode. That’s more than enough material for a fantastic episode! ^[1] Molly Freeman of Screen Rant praised the episode by saying, "Bob’s Burgers is at its best in episodes like ‘Sliding Bobs’ when the show mixes a serious subject with its own brand of quirky humor that fans have come to know and love."^[2]

The episode received a 1.2 rating and was watched by a total of 2.51 million people. This made it the fifth most watched show on Fox that night.^[3]
