"The Land Ship" is the 2nd episode of the sixth season of the animated comedy series Bob's Burgers and the overall 90th episode, and is written by Holly Schlesinger and H. Jon Benjamin and directed by Jennifer Coyle. It aired on Fox in the United States on October 11, 2015.

Reception[]

Alasdair Wilkins of The A.V. Club gave the episode a B-, saying, "“The Land Ship” represents Bob's Burgers telling a story in an intentionally minor key, and that choice left the show with less margin for error than usual. The result isn't bad, but it's definitely not the show at its most memorable or most energetic."^[1] Sean Fitz-Gerald from Vulture gave the episode a mixed review by saying, "As much as I enjoyed Tina doing her freakout noise on the sail, I felt like we didn't actually get a whole lot of her deep idiosyncracies, which usually make these episodes (e.g., "The Equestranauts") the best, here — especially for an installment that was supposed to be about her learning a life lesson and maturing. (In other words, I felt like I had kind of seen this episode before.)."^[2]

The episode received a 0.9 rating and was watched by a total of 2.19 million people. This made it the fifth most watched show on Fox that night.^[3]
