Who knows the name of this early 70's children's television show?

Question:

It was a "real" show, as opposed to a cartoon. I remember in the intro there was a lady floating down from the sky wearing these GIANT bell-bottoms, and there was also a giant talking owl wearing a graduation cap and spectacles, and also a giant, talking, antique box camera. I think there may have been a talking female hippo who always had a handkerchief in her hand/hoof. ?...

Answers:

There are DVDs avaliable (Season 1 can be found on Amazon.com) and there is an official Facebook page.
