The show, which chronicles the adventures of Jack Bauer at the Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit, has been named the most watchable in a survey of more than 3000 film and TV fans.
But while US hits such as The Wire, Lost and Friends dominate the charts, only one British entry - Dr Who - even merits a mention.
The poll, by LOVEFiLM.com, saw the Kiefer Sutherland-led drama 24, which has won six Emmys and two Golden Globes, grab number one spot with 19 per cent of the vote.
Lost came in second place, on 17 per cent, followed by Friends, which grasped a ten per cent share.
Superhuman drama Heroes came fourth, on nine per cent, followed by cult hit The Wire, on seven per cent.
The highest - and only - British entry into the top ten was Dr Who, which managed a six per cent vote.
Darren Bignell, Communications Manager of LOVEFiLM.com, said: "We're a nation of comfort lovers and the thought of curling up on the sofa with our favourite programmes is a very tempting one. "Although crime doesn't pay, as our list reveals, it most certainly pulls in the viewers, and shows like 24 have clearly found the right mix of suspense, drama and action to keep us coming back for more."
The Most Addictive TV series were as follows:
1. 24 - 19 per cent
2. Lost - 17 per cent
3. Friends - 10 per cent
4. Heroes - 9 per cent
5. The Wire - 7 per cent
6. Dr Who - 6 per cent
7. CSI - 5 per cent
8. Prison Break - 4 per cent
9. The Sopranos - 3 per cent
10. Sex and the City - 2 per cent
