Unless it's Back to the Future time travel is so easy to do poorly, and I don't think Lost did it well at all.

I actually loved how they used some of the time travel stuff, mostly the Desmond/Faraday storylines. "The Constant" is one of my top five favorite episodes from the show. Even my brother who always had it in for the show (since he was a Buffy fan), thought this was a great episode.
However, most of Dharma Imitative season five did not work for me. I also agree with Flame of Liberty that the episodes in the temple were a giant waste of time, and the first portion of season six was almost entirely comprised of filler episodes. By the time they got down to the last few episodes a lot of it seemed rushed (like the confrontation between Jack and Man in Black/Locke). Heck they killed off everyone from the temple anyway, so essentially they were just different version of Nikki/Paulo.
Lost is 1-2 with The X-Files in terms of network dramas for me. Lost has more top notch episodes, while X-Files was able to sustain a great series for over 6 years and many more episodes.
